The Facetelle Bespoke Process

The first step is choosing a time to talk. You can enquire with a developed brief or while the idea is still very early. Bring inspiration images, an existing ring you want to pair with, a diamond or simply a description of the piece you have in mind.

We talk through what you want to create and how you want the piece to look, feel and wear. That may include scale, proportion, fit, metal, diamonds, setting style and how the piece needs to work with jewellery you already own.

The agreed direction is developed in computer-aided design. CAD lets us resolve the construction and exact proportions of the piece while preserving the character discussed at the appointment.

You receive clear CAD renders before production. Depending on the piece, these may show the top, side and end views, the height and profile, the position of diamonds and how one ring sits beside another. We proceed only after you have reviewed and approved the design.

The approved CAD design is printed as a precise wax model. That wax is used in the casting process to create the piece in your chosen metal.

The cast piece is carefully finished and polished. Where the design calls for diamonds, they are set at this stage and the completed surfaces and details are checked by hand.

After final inspection, the finished piece is prepared and delivered to you. The proportions, finish and setting you approved in CAD are now resolved in metal and stone, ready to be worn.
