Our Bespoke Process
'To have, to hold, and to pass on'
Our bespoke service is centred around creating pieces that are timeless, deeply personal, and made to be worn every day.
Crafted with intention and designed to tell your story, each piece is designed in close collaboration with you.
Commission a bespoke piece of jewellery or customise our collection of fine jewellery, both experiences are tailored to you. Whether you are looking for custom wedding bands, a bespoke engagement ring, anniversary jewellery, or a special piece just for you, we would love to help.
Getting To Know You
Every bespoke project begins with a personal consultation. We take time to understand your ideas, personal style, lifestyle and the story behind the piece you want to create. Whether you arrive with inspiration images or simply an idea, we guide you through the process from concept to completion
What we cover in the initial consultation:
- An overview of the process, timelines and deadlines
- Your budget: this helps us determine what we can create for you
- Understanding your style, and any likes or dislikes
- Some initial ideas tailored to your requirements
- Answering any other questions you may have
Design and Stone Sourcing
Following your consultation, we develop bespoke design proposals tailored to you. This includes sketches, stone options and refined concepts that allow the design to evolve collaboratively.
We source ethically sourced diamonds and gemstones with transparency and traceability at the forefront. From responsibly sourced sapphires to ethical natural diamonds, every stone is selected with care, quality and longevity in mind.
Renders and 3D Visualisations
To further your experience, once we have refined the design, we offer an online 360 interactive render of your piece. From stone settings to proportions, this helps you to visualise your new piece from all angles.
As well as this, we also provide a 3D resin model for you to try on in our showroom. This is an exciting part of the process as it gives you a glimpse of what your new piece will look like on.
Ethical Production
We believe fine jewellery should be made with integrity - combining considered design, skilled craftsmanship and transparent sourcing.
Every piece of ANUKA bespoke jewellery is consciously handcrafted in the UK using Fairmined gold, recycled precious metals and responsibly sourced gemstones.
Using a combination of in-house making and the expertise of highly skilled craftspeople, each bespoke piece is thoughtfully handcrafted locally. We work closely with a trusted family-run workshop for casting, alongside specialist stone setters and engravers. All of our pieces are then assayed and hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office.
By keeping our production local and working with people we know and trust, we are able to ensure exceptional quality, transparency and care at every stage of the making process.
Once your piece is ready, we will be in touch to arrange either an appointment for collection from our Tarporley showroom, or we can organise a courier service to deliver your piece to you.

Customisation vs Bespoke
Our bespoke jewellery service involves creating a completely original design from scratch, tailored entirely to you. Every detail, from stone selection to setting style and finish, is designed specifically for your piece.
Customisation, on the other hand, involves adapting one of our existing ANUKA signature designs. This may include selecting a different gemstone, metal or finish while keeping the core design intact.
Both options offer a personal approach, but bespoke jewellery allows for complete creative freedom and a truly one-of-a-kind result.
Remodels and Redesigns
ANUKA specialises in remodelling jewellery. We transform unworn, outdated, or deeply sentimental jewellery pieces designed to be worn and enjoyed every day. Our service includes everything from remodelling existing jewellery to redesigning wedding and engagement rings.
FAQs
Have a think about the piece you want to create and take time to look at styles and stones you like. From the cut of a stone to the setting type, your preference on precious metal and how you want to wear the piece. All of this will act as a great starting point to learn what you want to achieve and start the initial ideas process.
We would also suggest you consider your budget. This is so important as it enables us to advise you on stone choice, metal and design.
It varies greatly with each design but we recommend 2-3 months for the entire process; from design to completion.

Yes. It is a pleasure to work with your sentimental pieces and re-imagine them into a modern day heirloom.
We will assess the jewellery you have and determine what we can incorporate into the new design. Find out more about our remodelling process here.
You don't need to have a final idea in mind, some clients come with detailed ideas, while others only know how they want the piece to feel. We usually ask to you to find other pieces that you like so we can help understand your style and guide you through the design process step by step.
We could not love our rings more! My husband Tom, worked with Francesca to design my engagement ring and it is absolutely perfect. Francesca’s design expertise and creativity meant she knew what would complement and not overshadow my engagement ring, while being mindful of my personal style. The two rings come together so beautifully and I adore them!
Having someone to guide your own ideas and create something that is totally unique to you is extremely special.
Choosing our Bespoke 'Skimming Stone' necklace from Anuka was such a pleasure to experience with Francesca's understanding and creativity. It's such a lovely tactile piece and very special to us.
Francesca created an exceptionally individual and stunning eternity ring for our Golden Wedding Anniversary. I can really recommend her imagination and creativity to design and manufacture jewellery which is 'just that bit different' from the run of the mill.
