Made Together, Just for You
One of the magic things about running a small jewellery business is working with customers to make their ideas come to life.
Every bespoke piece begins with a conversation. I take time to understand what matters to you, so I can create something meaningful by hand in my studio here in Scone. It’s all about crafting a piece that feels like it belongs to you or your loved one from the very beginning.
The Bespoke Process
-
Initial Consultation
Let’s have a chat about your ideas! We can organise an appointment in my studio, connect online, or simply get in touch by email. Tell me about your style, preferred materials, gemstones, or any special pieces you already treasure.
-
Design Development
After our chat, I’ll begin sketching some ideas based on what you’ve shared. We’ll then work together to shape the design until it feels just right. Every detail will be guided by your story and your vision.
-
Material Selection & Quotation
Once the design feels complete, we’ll explore the right materials to bring your piece to life. I’ll help you choose between silver, gold, gemstones, or something else entirely. I’ll then provide a clear, detailed quote so everything is nice and transparent.
-
Crafting Your Piece
This is where your design starts to take shape! I’ll handcraft your jewellery here in my Perthshire studio using traditional tools and techniques, or it will be made using modern techniques such as CAD design depending on what is the best fit for your piece. Every part is made with care, patience, and a love for the craft.
-
The Final Reveal
Once your exquisite new jewellery is finished, I’ll carefully inspect it and wrap it up beautifully. Then it’s ready for you to collect, wear, and love! Seeing your reaction is one of the loveliest parts of the process.
-
Ongoing Care
Your bespoke Cairney Jewellery is made to be cherished for years to come. I’m always here for any aftercare advice you may need, from cleaning tips to future adjustments, ensuring your treasure continues to bring you joy.
Remodelling Your Cherished Pieces
Jewellery can hold so many memories, even if it no longer feels quite like you. I offer a gentle, thoughtful remodelling service, where we reimagine your existing pieces into something new. Together, we’ll create a design that suits your style today while keeping the stories that matter most.

Bespoke Jewellery FAQs
What Materials Can I Choose From?
That’s entirely up to you, and one of the loveliest parts of the process. I work with a wide range of precious metals including sterling silver, yellow, white or rose gold, and platinum. We can also explore a beautiful selection of natural and lab-grown gemstones, from sparkling diamonds to vibrant sapphires, emeralds, and more.
Whether you have something specific in mind or want to explore the possibilities together, I’ll guide you through each option so it feels both exciting and comfortable. Every choice helps shape a piece that’s truly yours.
How is the Price Determined?
Each bespoke piece is as unique as the person it’s made for, so the price reflects the materials, design complexity, and time involved in crafting it. After we’ve explored your ideas and I have a clear sense of the design, I’ll provide a detailed quote that outlines everything , no hidden costs, just complete transparency.
Whether it’s something simple and elegant or a more intricate design, we’ll tailor everything to suit your vision and your budget. It’s all part of creating a piece that feels right for you.
What's Involved in Remodelling a Piece?
Remodelling is a gentle, collaborative process that honours the memories held in your jewellery while giving it new life. It starts with a conversation, I’ll listen to the story behind your piece, understand what you’d like to preserve, and explore how we can reimagine it into something that suits you today.
Whether we melt down gold, or incorporate new elements, I’ll guide you through every option with care and creativity. From the first sketch to the final polish, it’s about creating something meaningful that still holds the heart of the original. -
Please note - At the current time I am not taking on any remodelled pieces with customers own gemstones.
How Long Does the Bespoke Process Take?
Every bespoke piece has its own journey, so timings can vary depending on the design and materials. As a general guide, the full process usually takes around 4 to 12 weeks from our initial consultation to the final piece.
That said, I’ll always do my best to work around your timeline, whether you have a specific date in mind or need something sooner. Once we’ve shaped the design and chosen the materials, I’ll give you a clear idea of what to expect so everything feels smooth and stress-free.
Do You Offer Engraving for Bespoke Pieces?
Yes, absolutely. Engraving is a beautiful way to add a personal touch to your jewellery, whether it’s a meaningful date, a set of initials, or a short message that holds special significance.
If you’d like to include engraving, just let me know during the design process. We can explore different fonts and placement options to make sure it complements your piece perfectly. It’s those thoughtful details that often mean the most.
