Bespoke Commissions

Create your own unique piece, it could be a variation on something on the website or perhaps an idea of your own, working closely at every step see your idea become a reality.

SKETCHES FOR RINGS

Starting with primarily sketches before making protoypes and final pieces.

THE 'EDEN CUT'

Gem designed specifically for Gemporia for numerous collections.

STEP ONE

Let's start with a chat either by email or phone call to discuss any ideas you may have e.g., if you've chosen a stone from the website or would like one custom cut, or it could be an heirloom stone you already have, decide on the materials you'd like to use, style and what budget is a good start. After this first consultation a sketch or CAD drawing can be produced. In this example a pink tourmaline sourced and bespoke to cut to a flower design then set in a minimalist style ring.

STEP TWO

Once we have a rough idea where we're heading the design can then evolve with any tweaks and adjustments with extra designs if needed and even a resin printed prototype in the case of a ring for example to make sure the size and design works visually before its created in precious materials, then when agreed a non-refundable 50% deposit is needed before its production.

STEP THREE

Your bespoke piece is well on its way, Tara will keep you updated closely with it's progress as its made from start to finish in her studio and when it is ready and balance paid collection can then be arranged or it will be sent insured to your preferred address.

Alongside traditional techniques Tara uses modern technology for that extra precision.
