BESPOKE

When I design, I think of jewellery as complementary to the human form. My pieces mirror an impression of industrial elements, steeped in fluidity and movement; an interplaying dance between the masculine and feminine. My design process minimises the amount of components needed in order to maintain simplicity to the eye, yet each piece requires complexity on the bench in its refinement. I strive to design pieces that meld seamlessly into the wearer’s daily life - Designer Kari Layton

Creating jewellery pieces to celebrate the most intimate ceremonies in life is something we love most.

Phone Number

Are you based in Melbourne? Or elsewhere? We can work together creatively in our studio or online

What kind of piece would you like to make? Is it for a special occasion or ceremony? E.g. engagement, birthday, anniversary

Have you considered which materials would best suit your piece? If you have a preference in carat or colour, it’s helpful to include this below.

There are many reasons for using different materials and we can walk you through this process. If you are unsure of the difference between metal colours and carats and the reasoning of choosing one over another, we can assist you in your appointment. We source all of our materials from local suppliers and our Gold and Silver is recycled. E.g. 14ct gold, 18ct gold, platinum

Are you looking to include stone(s)?

If so, is there a colour or shape you are interested in? We can source a range of certified gemstones and diamonds to use in your design or can repurpose your own vintage or heirloom gems if they are in a condition that we feel comfortable working with. If you are unsure, that’s ok. Certain stones aren’t as strong as others and we can guide you in stone suitability for the piece.

Is there a budget that you have in mind?

To offer you the best possible options when sourcing materials it can be helpful for us to get an indication of your budget. If you are not yet sure we can discuss this further with you during your appointment or over the phone. Each piece is custom made and therefore quoted individually. We require a budget of $5000 or more for new builds. If you are interested in a alteration to a collection piece, the price starts at $1000. Wedding bands start $1000 for 9ct.

Do you need your piece by a certain date? Depending on the complexity of the design and our current workflow, it can take us between 6-12 weeks to complete a project. We will always do our best to work within your timeline and knowing your due date helps us manage our schedule.

Jewellery is very intimate, and becomes a unique part of your everyday. Please share anything more that will help us visualise the kind of piece you have in mind. We will be in touch soon!
