Creating Your Dream Piece: The Debra Fallowfield Custom Jewellery Journey

Bespoke Jewellery: Your Story, My Craft

At the heart of my CUSTOM MADE TO ORDER JEWELLERY is the crafting of unique bespoke jewellery that is as unique as the person it’s made for. With nearly 30 years of experience, I have had the privilege of creating one-of-a-kind pieces for clients all over the world, each piece with a story of its own. While the journey is always a collaborative process, the creation of your custom jewellery begins with trust—trust in my expertise, my vision, and in the process we’ll embark on together.


Creating Unique Pieces, Together

Custom jewellery isn’t about simply designing a ring or a necklace. It’s about creating a piece that reflects you or the special person it’s being made for. Every piece I craft is a one-off that reflects not only your vision but also my design style, built on years of experience and passion for authentic, organic jewellery.

My role is to guide you through this journey, ensuring we achieve something that feels personal and meaningful. From initial ideas to final touches, the process is a true collaboration.


1. Design: Where Your Ideas Meet My Craft

When you approach me for a custom design, I don’t expect you to come up with a perfect blueprint. What matters most is that you have an idea of what you like—and what you don’t like. Think about the colours, styles, and materials that speak to you. Do you love the sparkle of diamonds or the earthy feel of brushed gold? The more specifics you can give me, the better.

But it’s also important to remain flexible. I’m here to create something that feels uniquely yours, but it won’t be a replica of another piece. The design will be one-of-a-kind, inspired by your vision, and shaped by my expertise.


2. My Style, Your Vision

As a jewellery designer, I have a distinct style that guides my creations. It’s rooted in a love for organic, timeless designs that stand the test of time. That being said, I do only take on projects that align with my aesthetic—and that’s a big part of why we need to be a good fit from the start.

I won’t replicate styles you’ve seen elsewhere, nor will I create something that doesn’t fit within my design philosophy. Custom work is not about copying—it’s about creating. If you’ve got inspirational pictures, I’m happy to explore them but understand that the final piece will always be something original and shaped by my artistic approach.


3. Clear Communication and Collaboration

Custom making with me is all about no BS communication. I don’t work with detailed sketches or intricate plans. Instead, I’ll ask you direct questions and guide you through the process with simple, quick sketches to ensure we’re on the same page. The goal is for you to feel confident in the process and trust that I’m creating something truly unique for you.

While I don’t do lengthy back-and-forth or charge “custom fees”, I do need to know that you’re fully committed before we begin. A 50% deposit is required to start, and it is non-refundable once work has begun.


4. Your Budget, Your Piece

Understanding your budget from the outset is crucial. I always aim to create the best possible design within the limits of your budget, but it’s important to be realistic about what that budget can achieve. I’ll work with you to make adjustments if necessary, but custom work is an investment, and the result will reflect that.


5. The Timeline and Process

Custom jewellery takes time, and while the process can vary from 3-8 weeks, it’s about ensuring quality and craftsmanship every step of the way. If there’s a tight timeline, just let me know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.

I’m a two-person operation, so I’m selective with the commissions I take on. This ensures that I can give each project the attention it deserves and that you’re receiving a piece that is crafted with care, attention to detail, and love.

So let’s break it down 

  • Share Your Inspiration
    Send us pictures of styles you like, colours, or themes you’re drawn to. Don’t worry about getting everything perfect—just give us a starting point!
  • Set Your Budget
    Be realistic about how much you’d like to invest. Once we know your budget, we’ll make sure the design fits within it.
  • Know Your Ring Size
    If you’re commissioning a ring, it’s important to know the correct size. If you’re not sure, don’t worry—I can help guide you on how to measure!
  • Finalise the Design
    We’ll work together to fine-tune the design. Remember, it’s all about collaboration—your vision, my expertise.
  • Deposit & Begin Work
    Once we’ve agreed on the design, a 50% non-refundable deposit is taken. After that, the magic begins!
  • Creating Your Piece
    Your one-of-a-kind piece is carefully handcrafted, with a typical turnaround of 3-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design, and whether we need to out source gemstones.
