Planning a commission

What can I commission?

Facetelle can develop bespoke earrings, necklaces, pendants, chains, bracelets, engagement rings and wedding rings. The design can range from understated metalwork to a bolder diamond-set piece, with the construction and proportions developed for the person who will wear it.

Do I need a finished design before I book?

No. You can enquire at the idea stage. A reference image, a diamond shape, an existing ring or a description of how you want the piece to feel is enough to begin the conversation.

What should I bring to the first appointment?

Bring anything that helps explain the direction: inspiration images, a loose diamond, an existing piece you would like to build around, or an engagement ring that a wedding band needs to sit beside. If you have none of these, a rough idea is still useful.

How does CAD review work?

After the design discussion, the agreed direction is developed in CAD. Facetelle presents renders for your review before production. Depending on the piece, you may see the top and side views, the height and profile, the position of diamonds and how two rings pair together.

Can I ask for changes after seeing the CAD renders?

The CAD review is the point for discussing proportion and design details before approval. The exact revision allowance and any associated terms will be confirmed by Facetelle for your commission.

What happens after I approve the design?

The approved design is printed in wax and cast in the chosen metal. The piece is then finished and polished, with diamonds set wherever the design calls for them, before final checks and delivery.

Can a wedding ring be shaped around my engagement ring?

Yes. Bring the engagement ring to the appointment so the new band can be developed around its outline and height. The CAD renders can show the shape of the band and how the two rings pair before production.

Will I see the piece before it is made?

You will see CAD renders of the design and approve them before the wax is printed and production begins.
