Testimonials
"I bought a 22 carat gold set tourmaline ring and I adore it. I wear it everyday, so many compliments. looking forward to seeing Alexander’s new collection. Timeless pieces."
Custom Made Jewellery. What got me started?
Products at Cartier and Bulgari were all exceptional with attention to detail and design but I would always think about how nice it would be to be able to work together with a customer, gem dealers and jewellers and make them a bespoke fine jewel that tells their own story. While a lot of customers were brand focussed there was no shortage creative customers who had their own ideas and strong stories.
Are you drawn to fragile pieces?
I think that when jewellers and retailers suggest to a customer that rings are “not everyday rings” it can create some confusion which is understandable. When we mention a ring (or any jewellery piece) is not an ‘everyday piece’ we mean that there are some day to day activities that a fragile piece may not be able to endure but it doesn’t mean that the rings can’t be worn everyday (unless it’s made of sugar 🤔).
