Bespoke Jewellery; Organic Gold Brooch
Imagine this: a worn-down, forgotten collection of inherited jewellery transformed into a stunning bespoke jewellery piece—a gold brooch that radiates creativity and artistry. When my client approached me with a box of yellow gold chains, jewels, and her mother's cherished but worn wedding ring, I knew this bespoke jewellery project had boundless potential.
The collection was a gold mine (literally!), perfect for melting down and reimagining into something entirely new. She was drawn to organic, nature-inspired designs and wanted to honor her mother’s wedding ring, a beautiful piece worn down with age but still etched with faint zig-zag engravings. Those engravings would be the heart of our design.
So, the journey of bespoke jewellery design began. The concept? A one-of-a-kind gold brooch shaped like a tilted flower pot, with the zig-zag pattern from her mother’s ring delicately engraved along its edges. From this unique “pot,” branches of gold extended in a flowing, asymmetrical form, cradling her mother’s engagement diamond right in the center—a truly symbolic touch.
But the magic didn’t stop there. We added white sapphires and pearls, carefully selected from her inherited rings, incorporating them into the gold branches as though they had blossomed naturally. The organic shapes gently embraced each gemstone, lending the brooch an elegant, flowing energy that felt both modern and timeless.
The result? A breathtaking, handcrafted gold brooch that captures the essence of her style and heritage. This wasn’t just a jewellery remodel—it was a bespoke jewellery masterpiece, blending sentiment and creativity into a piece she’ll treasure for life. Here lies the true magic of bespoke jewellery: transforming old, forgotten pieces into something new, exciting, and uniquely personal.
