BESPOKE & REDESIGN
Do you have jewellery that you have fallen out of love with?
Have you inherited something that just isn’t you?
Are you having trouble finding that perfect piece of jewellery?
Would you like to create a memorial piece to commemorative a loved one?
At Varoshe we believe that every piece of jewellery is special.
Behind every piece of jewellery there is a story. Whether it’s the ring you inherited from your grandmother, the earrings you wore on your wedding day or the necklace you were given on your 21st, every important piece tells the story of our lives; the highs and the lows. At Varoshe we believe that it is this sentiment that makes every piece of jewellery special. So, imagine if you had something designed and made especially for you...
We take pride in helping guide you through your journey of creating, or remodelling, that perfect piece of jewellery to mark your life’s special moments, adding those little details which will make it uniquely yours.

“All I can say is wow...from service, to design, to the finished product, everything was fantastic. I would highly recommend them, whether you are looking for something off the shelf, or something unique. Thank you Clare & Paul.”
"How do I commission something?"
1. Initial Consultation
Our free one-hour consultations are held at our showroom in West Malling and are always started the same way; with a relaxed conversation about the item you wish to commission or redesign.
If you have an idea or a style in mind, then feel free to bring images with you, although we’d recommend taking screenshots as the signal in West Malling is notoriously bad! Any existing pieces you would like to include in your new jewellery should be brought too.
During our time, we will get to know you, your style and how the new piece of jewellery will be worn. We will advise you on metal and/or stone options, as well as designs that would be suited to your way of life. We will pull your ideas, likes and dislikes together to help you to design your perfect piece of jewellery for you or your loved one.
2. Design & Estimate
Usually, we will be able to design your piece of jewellery during your consultation. We have plenty of sample pieces that will help you visualise your new jewellery and will sketch ideas as we go.
We will discuss your budget and will give you an indication of the costs involved, although sometimes it may be necessary to come back to you with an estimate.
We can also source gemstones so that you can choose which you would like to set into your new piece of jewellery.
If you would like us to draw some formal design options or for us to render your final design this can be arranged. We charge £100 for this design service, which is deductible from the final cost of any commission over £1,000.
Once the design has been agreed and any stones chosen, a final estimate will be provided. Upon acceptance of the price, a deposit is paid (minimum 25%) and we will then begin crafting your jewellery.
3. Making
The process of making your new piece of jewellery usually takes around 6 to 8 weeks to complete, from the payment of your deposit. However, this can be flexible depending on your particular needs or deadline.
It may be necessary to arrange fittings so we can check ring sizes, metal finishes etc, but we will advise you as we go along. Every commission is unique but we will always take the same care and attention on every piece of jewellery we make.
We pride ourselves in offering a relaxed and friendly experience, so why not come in for a chat to start creating your perfect piece of jewellery. Click here to arrange a consultation.

“I love my new ring! Clare was fantastic from start to finish, helping to create my dream piece of bespoke jewellery. She has the dedication and expertise to understand what I wanted, and then design and create it. I love looking at my glittery ring every day! Superb service, I highly recommend!”
Don't worry, we also offer gift vouchers so that you can give the whole design experience to a loved one. This can be an amazing present for the person who is always hard to buy for!
