CUSTOM JEWELLERY
Custom made jewellery can be as simple as hand selecting your chosen gemstone and having it set into a classic style ring. Or it can be as bespoke as a Gaudi architectural masterpiece. Its really up to you! Our passion is custom made - of any undertaking. We just love making jewellery that is perfectly you, because that is our specialty.
So if you're just at the idea stage or you have a full concept in mind, we would love to work with you to design and make your perfect piece.
IT STARTS WITH AN IDEA
-
INITIAL CONSULTATION - FREE
GET IN TOUCH TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENTYou will get to meet with either Megan or Jenna, we are both the designers and the creators of all our jewellery!
Over the course of an hour (give or take) we will discuss all of your design ideas, your preferences, requirements, recycled metal and ethical gem options, and provide guidance in the best way to bring your ideas to life.
We can also provide an indicative cost for your project ideas.
-
DESIGN FEE
T's + C'sIf you wish to proceed and have designs drawn up to scale we charge a design fee. This fee will be determined by the scope of the project and a portion will be deducted from the total cost of the manufacture of the piece.
-
SUSTAINABLE DIAMONDS + GEMS
LEARN MOREWe strictly vet our diamond and gem suppliers so that they meet our social, ethical and environmental ideals.
We have a small selection of loose gems available on-line and in-store for purchase.
If we don't have exactly what you are looking for we work with our suppliers to get stones in for you to view in person. This is an obligation free service, with no pressure to purchase as any unwanted stones can be returned.
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (CAD)
During the initial consultation we will often hand draw some ideas to ensure we're all on the same page.
Once we're sure we're on the right track we do most of our designing using 3D software for speed and accuracy.
The images produced are to scale and allow us to see perfect proportions and placement as well as quickly modify things like stone and metal colour.
It is possible to print the files produced in wax and then cast them in the 100% recycled metal of choice. Whether we use the lost wax casting method, hand forging or a combination of both to create a design depends on the design itself and the materials used.
We are always happy to disclose which method/s we intend to use in your design.
HANDMADE IN MELBOURNE

THE CHOSEN DESIGN
T's + C'sOnce the design has been tweaked to perfection we issue a formal quote. A 50% deposit is required as acceptance.
And then the fun begins!
With few exceptions everything is handmade in our Melbourne studio.
-
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
From initial consultation to completion usually takes 4-12 weeks.
This includes working with you to finalise the design, making any necessary adjustments and sourcing the right materials to make sure you are completely happy with the outcome.
-
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The price of gold is ever evolving and precious gems vary greatly in cost due to their innate qualities.
As such it isn't possible to give an exact quote without knowing the details of your project.
We are always happy to discuss what can be done within your budget.
-
THE FINISHED PIECE
We will be in touch as soon as your custom made jewellery is ready for collection. The final payment is due at this time.
Each piece comes with it's own sustainably forested timber box for safe keeping and presentation.
On the base of the box you'll find instructions for on-going care and cleaning.

FREE CLEANING AND POLISHING FOR LIFE!
We offer complimentary cleaning and polishing on all pieces made at Megan Webb Jeweller. You are welcome to come in and see us as often as you like, before a big event, on an anniversary, whenever you want a refresh!
We recommend that you come in at least once a year as this allows us to do a quick maintenance check on your pieces and ensure everything is as it should be.
