Sometimes, you just want a piece of jewellery that would make a perfect set and match your collection. Or you may want a matching earring to replace a lost one. Or you may be thinking about redesigning a heirloom piece to reflect your style and preferences to be able to finally start wearing it.


Other times, you want something completely new, memorable, and meaningful to mark a milestone. Bespoke jewellery can offer an especially unique and beautiful way of encapsulating and telling your story to generations to come. Bespoke jewellery allows to create a piece of lasting jewellery that represents those special memories and beutifully celebrates the milestone for years to come.


No matter what your goal is, Valeria's Secret can bring your inspiration to life. First, by creating sketches of a design, perfectly matching your budget and style. Then by creating a piece of fine jewellery just for you in our workshop.


How to Commission a Bespoke Piece of Jewellery


Start with a Gemstone

It's a common practice to think about what kind of a staple gems you'd like to use in a piece. Maybe you already own a special gem that you would like to use? Or you may want to acquire a gem by choosing from our loose gemstone collection, or our stone sourcing service. Your design can then take shape around it or you can choose to gift it, and share the designing experience together with someone special.


Start with a Mood Board

Browse designs on our website and Instagram, look for further inspiration on Pinterest and utilise Google search. Add your favourite designs to your own mood board of ideas and share them with us.


Tell us about Your Inspiration

What is your inspiration starting point? Do you have a favourite place, passion, or hobby? Perhaps, you have got shared loves and interests? Do you want to honour yours and your family's culture and heritage? Tell us your love story and how you both met. Or maybe it is time to commemorate loved ones or pets? Your story matters and that's what bespoke fine jewellery is about.


There may be a particular colour or gemstone you like. Sometimes, they are birthstones, or reflect a person's style and personality. Ultimately, any inspiration is a way of telling your unique story. You may have a vague or clear vision of how your bespoke jewellery might look. In any case, don't worry if you're not sure where to begin because we are here to help.
