Bespoke by Black Betty

Our bespoke service shapes stories into jewels - an engagement ring, a signet of meaning, cufflinks etched with memory, or an heirloom reborn. Every piece carries your essence.

This is your story, set in stone.

Every story has a pulse. Every love, a language. Our bespoke service is where we translate that into form — into a ring, a necklace, a talisman that is unapologetically yours.

We don’t work from templates or trends. We start with you: your story, your partner, your energy. From there, we sketch, select stones, and sculpt metal until what emerges feels less like jewellery and more like a mirror of who you are.

Whether it’s a love story carved into gold, a family heirloom reimagined, or a personal ritual made tangible — bespoke is about creating a piece that carries your essence, forever.

Step 1: Connect

Book a consultation with our team — online or in-store. Here we listen: your ideas, your story, your partner, your vision. Whether you arrive with a Pinterest board, a single stone, or no idea at all, this is where it begins.

Step 2: Dream & Design

Together we sketch and play with concepts — from stones and metals to settings and finishes. We’ll show you options, refine details, and translate your love or intention into a design that feels authentically you.

Step 3: Source & Select

We ethically source stones and materials that resonate with your story — from diamonds to sapphires, emeralds, or alternative gems. You choose the piece that feels like it belongs to you.

Step 4: Craft & Create

Our master jewellers sculpt your design in gold, platinum, or titanium — crafted to honour your story.

Step 5: Reveal

Your bespoke jewel is revealed — crafted with intention, made to be worn and cherished for a lifetime.

We’ve gathered the most common queries about our bespoke design process below. Still curious? Drop us an email

What stones can I use?

Because we mainly source our stones in India, we have an enormous selection at our finger tips of different qualities & varieties. If you are unsure, have a look at our stone guide here.

Can I supply my own stones?

Yes, we are more than happy use or re set your stones. Bring them along with you to a consultation so we can which designs they will lend themselves to best.

What metals do you work with?

We only work with precious metals so you have the choice of silver (with gold vermeil) or yellow, rose or white gold (either 9, 14 or 18 carat) and platinum. We are also more than happy to work with passed down heirlooms as long as the metals are pure.

Can your jewellers help me with my design?

Our jewellers are highly experienced and so we are able to offer nearly any design style. Our jewellery is all hand made with each gemstone being slightly different therefore making each piece unique. Please allow for subtle variations in each piece.

I don't know my ring size

We or another professional jeweller can help you obtain the correct ring size. If you are surprising your partner another option is to bring us a ring they currently wear and we can judge the size accordingly. We cannot however be held responsible for the size being incorrect, however we can always resize your piece at an addition charge dependant on metal needed.. If you have any concerns about your ring size then pop into one of our studios and have your finger measured for us to get the perfect fit.

How much will my bespoke piece cost?

Due to each piece being unique, the costing for each item varies. It is best to decide on your budget before hand, we will then work around it. The first consultation is free. After which we will send you a quote. Once the quote has been accepted we will need 50% deposit of the total for manufacturing to start.

How long will it take to create my piece?

Depending on the amount of work we have at the time we usually need 2 to 4 weeks for manufacturing, after the quote has been accepted and the stone has been sourced.
