Personalised and Bespoke Silver & Sea-glass Nature Jewellery
Sometimes you can’t quite find what you want, or you like what you see, but it’s not quite right for what you have in mind. Maybe it would be ‘perfect’ if you could just change the colour of the sea-glass/have a slightly different chain/have it with or without added sea-glass. Or perhaps you just know that you want something made specially, that is completely personal and unique to you or the person you are gifting.
This is where personalised/customised and bespoke options give you a different choice from buying ‘ready to wear’ or basic made-to-order, because you can ask me to make exactly what you want - this is often referred to as a commission.
So what’s the difference between personalised and bespoke?
Personalised Made-to-Order -vs- Bespoke
Made to order simply refers to an option to buy something that I already make, but isn’t available as ‘ready to wear’. Made to Order pieces can be found in the shop, alongside the ready to wear pieces. It simply means that there is a slighly longer lead-in time before it’s ready to wear, and less waste because I make only when an order is placed. Personalised Made-to-Order - is where you might you like something that is available in the shop (either ready to buy or made to orde) but you’d like a tweak - e.g. a different colour of sea-glass, or no sea-glass, a leaf that’s not listed, or a different chain. So, you request that it is made with the tweaks that are personal to you. This can also be referred to as customised.
Bespoke pieces are those that are made specifically for you, as a new creation, a one-off, developed with you, bringing to life something wholly unique to you, and something that I have never made before. This is a much more involved and usually (but not always) more complex process, and this is reflected in the pricing.
More information about the process for customised/bespoke pieces and pricing can be found in the FAQs at the bottom of this page. The first step is to get in touch by email so we can begin to chat about what you are looking for.

Work With Me
If you would like me to create something personal for you, either as something made to order with a personal touch, or something truly bespoke, that reflects a deeply personal connection to a little piece of Nature that means something special to you or a special someone, the first step is to get in touch so we can explore together what you are looking for, whether it’s something I can help you with and whether a customised or bespoke option is the best fit.
At this initial stage there is absolutely no commitment, or charge, we chat (by email or over the phone) about what you might like or any ideas you may already have.
If you have absolutely no idea, you just know you’d love some help creating something truly personal - you can browse the gallery below to see some of the things I’ve made for other people and I will help guide you and give you some suggestions too.
Customised pieces will generally be at a lower price point than a fully bespoke piece, and typically start from £150 for a silver piece.
Prices for bespoke will depend on exactly what you are looking for (and on the price of silver and silver clay - which is a little unpredicatable at the moment!!). I will give you a quote for the work you decide upon before you make a final commitment to go ahead - currently you can expect prices to start from around £350.
