The bespoke design process
Our bespoke design service gives you the opportunity to create a truly one of a kind piece, mindfully handcrafted in our London studios by skilled in-house jewellers. Perfect to commemorate cherished moments and special memories, let us take you through the bespoke design process from the very first meeting to the final finished piece.
The current lead time is 4-6 weeks
Step 1
INITIAL
CONSULTATION.
Your bespoke journey begins with a complimentary virtual or in-person consultation at our Islington or Coal Drops Yard locations. Our Studio Design Manager Nathan will ask about your individual taste, any initial ideas, and specific design requirements.
In this first meeting we’ll ask you about your preferred metal, gemstones you have in mind, and any personalised customisations, such as engraving.
Step 2
GEMSTONE
SOURCING.
We have a selection of unusual and unique gemstones available to view, including our beautiful grey diamonds. If you don’t see one that’s just right for you, we can source a stone to suit your particular requirements.
We also work with repurposing gemstones from jewellery you already own as a sustainable way to recycle a meaningful gemstone. All of our gemstones are conflict-free and handpicked by Maya and Nathan.
STEP 3
Handcrafted in London
Once your gemstones have been selected and your design has been finalised, your bespoke piece will be carefully handcrafted in our London atelier using 100% recycled gold.
We work with our skilled in-house jewellers and occasionally collaborate with experienced artisans in the heart of London’s jewellery district, Hatton Garden, to perfect the design.

What previous bespoke customers say...
"We had my engagement ring bespoke made at Maya Magal and we couldn't be happier with the result. Nathan captured the brief to the dot and made us the perfect ring (even more beautiful than what we had dreamed of). A big thank you! And we’ll definitely be back for the wedding band."
"The team at Maya Magal created a beautiful and unique engagement ring for me, as well as bespoke wedding bands. They were a pleasure to work with and were very helpful with advice and design ideas, giving us plenty of options to choose from to create our perfect rings. Would definitely recommend!"
"From start to finish my mind was completely put at ease. Nathan and the team did a brilliant job bringing the necklace I had in my head to life. The communication was brilliant and I was kept informed a long the way. I would absolutely recommend the team for any bespoke designs - I’m just looking at what jewellery I want next."

Stone sourcing
We have a selection of unique, unusual gemstones available for you to view. Customers often come to us to create a contemporary, beautifully different design featuring unusual stones like our much-loved grey diamonds. If you prefer something a little different, we will take your requests and source stones that fit your requirements.
Alternatively, we can also repurpose a stone of your own or use an old-cut stone for a more sustainable way of jewellery making. All stones we use are conflict-free and individually hand-picked by our founder Maya and studio designer manager Nathan.
STEP 3
Handmade in London
Your bespoke jewellery will be handmade in our Islington workshop. Our bespoke jeweller Yasmin uses 100% recycled gold and conflict-free, responsibly sourced stones to complete the design. Although most of the creation process takes place in our Islington workshop, we sometimes work with skilled artisans in the heart of London’s jewellery district Hatton Garden to perfect the design.
