Truly One-of-a-Kind

Every bespoke piece is designed from scratch to reflect your vision, your story, and your style. No templates, no mass production — just original craftsmanship.

Handcrafted In-House

Your piece is designed, built, and finished entirely at our Greenwich boutique by our master jewelers. You are involved at every stage from concept to completion.

Ethically Sourced

Every diamond, gemstone, and precious metal we use is responsibly sourced. We provide full transparency on origin so you can wear your piece with confidence.

Our Approach

Bespoke Designs

Creating a bespoke piece begins with understanding what matters most to you. Whether it is an engagement ring that tells your story, a milestone piece to mark an occasion, or a reimagined heirloom given new life, we begin every project with a personal consultation.

From there, our designers develop original sketches and detailed renderings before any metalwork begins. You approve every detail — stone selection, setting style, metal type, and finish — before your piece goes to the bench. The result is jewelry that is unmistakably yours.

What We Create

Types of Bespoke Pieces

Every commission is unique. These are the most common projects our clients bring to us.

Matching or complementary bands crafted to sit perfectly alongside your engagement ring. We create bands in every metal and finish, from classic polished gold to textured platinum.

Transform inherited stones or outdated settings into something you will actually wear. We preserve the sentimental value of the original while giving it a completely new design and purpose.

04

Statement Necklaces & Pendants

Original necklace and pendant designs built around a centerpiece stone, a meaningful motif, or a completely new concept. From delicate everyday pendants to dramatic evening pieces.

Custom earrings and bracelets designed to complement your collection or stand entirely on their own. Studs, drops, hoops, cuffs, and tennis bracelets — all made to your specifications.

06

Anniversary & Gift Pieces

Commission a piece for a milestone anniversary, birthday, or special occasion. We help you create a gift with personal significance that no store-bought piece could match.

How It Works

The Design Process

Collaborative, personal, and meticulous. From your first conversation to the moment you hold your finished piece.

I

Consultation

We sit down together to understand your vision, occasion, style preferences, budget, and any stones or materials you would like to incorporate.

II

Design & Rendering

Our designers create original sketches and detailed renderings. You review, refine, and approve the design before any fabrication begins.

III

Craftsmanship

Our master jewelers bring the approved design to life in-house — casting, setting, finishing, and polishing entirely at our Greenwich bench.

IV

Reveal

Your finished piece is inspected, polished, and presented to you in person. We walk you through every detail and provide care guidance for years to come.

What We Work With

Stones, Metals & Materials

We source diamonds, colored gemstones, and precious metals from trusted, ethically responsible suppliers. If you have a specific stone in mind — or an inherited gem you would like to build a new piece around — we will work with what you bring.

Our team will walk you through the options honestly, helping you balance beauty, durability, and budget without ever pushing you toward a choice that does not feel right.

Common Questions

Bespoke Design FAQs

How much does a custom piece cost?
+

Bespoke pricing depends on the complexity of the design, choice of stones, and type of metal. A custom piece can range from a few thousand dollars to significantly more depending on materials. We provide a detailed quote after the initial design consultation so you know exactly what to expect before committing. There is no obligation at the consultation stage.

How long does it take to create a custom piece?
+

Most bespoke projects take four to eight weeks from approved design to finished piece, depending on the complexity of the work and whether stones need to be sourced. Simpler designs with readily available materials can sometimes be completed faster. If you are working toward a specific date such as an engagement or anniversary, let us know early and we will plan accordingly.

Can I use my own stones or inherited jewelry?
+

Absolutely. Many of our bespoke clients bring inherited diamonds, family gemstones, or loose stones they have purchased elsewhere. We evaluate the stones, discuss design possibilities, and build a completely new setting around what you already have. It is one of the most meaningful ways to honor a family piece while creating something that fits your personal style.

Do I need to know exactly what I want before the consultation?
+

Not at all. Some clients come to us with a detailed sketch and others come with nothing more than a feeling or occasion. Our job is to translate your ideas — however vague or specific — into a design that works. Inspiration images, a color preference, or even a story about the person who will wear it are all useful starting points.

Can you replicate a design I have seen elsewhere?
+

We do not produce exact copies of other designers’ work, but we are happy to use a reference image as a starting point. Many clients come to us with a photo of something they love and want to modify — a different stone, a slightly different profile, a different metal. We use your inspiration to create an original design that captures what you love while being uniquely yours.

Does a bespoke piece come with an appraisal?
+

Yes. Every bespoke piece from Famille can be accompanied by a certified insurance appraisal prepared by our in-house team. This ensures your new piece is properly documented and insured from day one. Our appraisals include photographs, full material descriptions, gemstone grades, and the assigned replacement value.
