BESPOKE & REMODELLING

At Ruth Gilmour Jewellery, I create bespoke pieces for clients worldwide. My process is simple and transparent, combining traditional goldsmithing techniques with sustainable practices. All the jewellery is handcrafted using recycled precious metals and ethical gemstones in my renewable energy-powered studio.

 

The process begins with a consultation to discuss your ideas and requirements. This can be done via email, phone, video call, or by visiting my studio. During this consultation, we'll explore your vision for a new piece or discuss how to transform your existing jewellery into something new.

 

After gathering all necessary information, I'll begin creating designs for you. This design phase typically takes 1-2 weeks, during which I'll work closely with you to ensure every detail meets your vision.

 

As an experienced goldsmith, I can source unique gemstones and precious materials based on your requirements, always ensuring they meet  ethical standards.

 

Once you are happy with the design, a deposit will be required to begin crafting. The making process takes approximately 6-8 weeks. All work is undertaken by me personally in my studio, and I will happily provide progress images throughout the creation process.

 

When your piece is completed, you'll receive detailed images and information about your unique jewellery. After the final payment is received, your special piece will be carefully packaged in an eco-friendly presentation box/pouch and shipped securely to you, or you can arrange to collect it from my studio.

​

All consultations and design proposals are complimentary.

“I recently had the most wonderful experience commissioning a custom jewellery piece from Ruth, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Ruth worked with me to transform old gold jewellery that I no longer wore into a stunning set of 3 14ct gold bangles. From start to finish, the process was nothing short of exceptional

Ruth's design expertise and attention to detail were incredible. She took time to meet with me, listen to my ideas, & collaboratively design a piece that perfectly matched my vision

The final product is truly a money-cant-buy piece of jewellery. The craftsmanship is flawless, and the bangles feel both timeless and uniquely mine. I couldn't be happier with the outcome"

TESTIMONIALS

"I have followed Ruth for a long time on Instagram, always admiring Ruth's beautiful designs of her jewellery & amazing craftmanship.

I now have 2 beautiful silver bangles & a silver ring of Ruth's.

I asked Ruth to repair a beautiful old family ring. Through the process Ruth kept in touch with me. I would highly recommend you look at Ruth's work and anything you purchase you wont be disappointed, thank you Ruth."

"My husband came across Ruth online after looking for someone to remodel my engagement ring as a surprise for me (the stone had fallen out) the ring was 27 yrs old and quite dated. We contacted her and explained how I wanted it to look she kept us informed via email with photos of every step of the process from melting down the band, making the new one, sending it off to be hallmarked and finally resetting the original diamond. The finished piece is stunning, even better than I had imagined. I would highly recommend this lady to anyone wanting either a bespoke piece or a remodel. Thank you Ruth you are a brilliant artist and a lovely lady to boot.."
