Bespoke
From a conversation to a ring
Six to eight weeks, from first sketch to collection. Most bespoke engagement rings are between AED 20,000 and AED 60,000.
Bespoke
A bespoke piece begins with how you’ll wear it: every day or for occasions, beside a stack of bangles or against a wedding band. We draw from that, and you see and hold the shape before any gold is cast.

The process, week by week
Every step happens in our Jumeirah villa, with the same jeweller from wax to collection.
-
Week 0: Conversation
An hour in the salon. We look at stones together, try on shapes and talk about budget. Free, and you owe us nothing.
-
Week 1: Drawings
Céline sends two or three hand-drawn designs, with a written quote for each. Change anything you like.
-
Week 2: Wax model
We carve your chosen design in wax so you can try the height and proportions on your finger. A 50% deposit starts the making.
-
Weeks 3–6: Making
Cast in recycled gold, then filed, set under the loupe and polished by hand. We send photographs along the way if you’d like them.
-
Weeks 6–8: Collection
You collect in person. We check the fit, hand over the valuation and talk you through care.
What you see along the way
-
The sketch
Drawn by hand at the salon table, from what you tell us about how you’ll wear it. You keep the drawings.
-
The wax
Carved to the exact size, so you can try the height and the shoulders before anything is cast.
-
The bench
Cast, set and finished upstairs by the jeweller who carved your wax. Nothing leaves the villa except for hallmarking at Dubai Central Laboratory.

Your written quote is fixed when you pay the deposit, whatever the gold price does afterwards.

I saw the wax model at week two and changed the shoulders slightly. The finished ring was exactly what I’d pictured.

They redesigned my grandmother’s ring without losing a single thing I loved about it. I still catch myself staring at it.

A written quote, a clear timeline and a phone call when it was ready. Collection felt like an occasion.

Bespoke questions
Can I start with a rough idea or a photo?
Of course. Most people start with a photo, a ring they’ve seen or simply a feeling. Bring whatever you have.
Can I change the design after the wax?
Yes, small changes to the wax are included. Once the gold is cast, changes mean starting the metal again, so we make sure you’re happy first.
Do you work with clients outside Dubai?
Often, from Abu Dhabi and Al Ain to Muscat and Riyadh. We can start with a video call and send a wax model to you for fitting. We do ask that you collect the finished piece in person, or we send it by insured courier.
What if I’m on a deadline?
Tell us the date at your first appointment. Six weeks is comfortable; four is possible for simpler designs if the stone is in hand.
