BESPOKE RINGS

Laura Vann, Founder

THE PROCESS

Laura will ensure you are involved in each aspect of the bespoke engagement ring design journey while drawing on her own experience as a personal stylist and skilled designer. What’s more, as fair pricing is a key principle upon which V was founded, we provide clients with much better quality and value for money than high street engagement rings.

1

You will have a personal consultation with Laura which can be carried out in our Sutton Coldfield studio or remotely via Zoom. Before the consultation, we will ask you to think about budget, materials, ring size, if applicable, and your timescale.

2

Following a successful consultation where a detailed brief will have been established, Laura will draw up initial sketches of your bespoke piece.

3

Once you are happy with your sketches, we will take a 50% deposit payment before providing detailed CAD designs, stone pictures and, if required, wax models for sign off.

Once CADs are signed off, production takes around 4-5 weeks!

THE MATERIALS WE WORK WITH

Whether you're looking for a bespoke sapphire engagement ring, a characterful emerald or a flawless diamond, Laura will personally source your perfect stones. After that, our experienced craftsmen in Birmingham's iconic Jewellery Quarter will finish your piece with unparalleled precision. We purchase diamonds from reputable dealers who adhere to the Kimberley Process—preventing conflict diamonds from entering the market. We can also work with Fairtrade gold upon request.

RING STORIES

Ravi

“It was always my dream to have my engagement ring designed and made by Laura Vann. My fiancé, sister, and Laura worked together looking at previous pieces I had bought from V and Laura produced some CAD drawings for them to view before producing the final beautiful piece. I of course had to pair my engagement ring with a V wedding band, so I too got to experience the whole bespoke process myself which was so fun!! We did a zoom call together, spoke about ideas and Laura guided us with such creativity, knowledge and professionalism. Laura and her team were always available for any queries and made the whole experience so enjoyable. I can’t recommend Laura and her team enough for the bespoke pieces and all her pieces I’ve bought through her website.”

“Thank you for all your advice, guidance and support in creating such a beautiful, timeless piece of art. The journey from start to finish has been faultless. In the beginning with the one to one, Laura got to understand who the engagement ring was for, what their style was, their personality, how we met, if there were any plans on the engagement so they could work to a timeframe that would allow plans to go ahead. Laura, Nicola and the team were not only extremely professional and delivered a range of designs to an incredibly high standard, they were also extremely personable, warm and understanding throughout the design stages where ideas were blended, slight tweaks and adjustments were made until we were all happy with the finished design. Communication throughout was clear, concise and all handled at a fast pace as we were against the clock. It genuinely felt like the team were invested in the project and you could feel everyone’s excitement grow throughout the journey of the bespoke ring being made. When it came to guidance and advise on the ring, Laura provided not only the correct methods and equipment to use when choosing the ring size but also the design of the ring itself, I started off by not knowing what the final ring would look like but by picking the incremental detail out of the heap of information I provided her with the final product was even more beautiful than I could of ever hoped for. I can not imagine or recommend going through this process with any other designer as the team became a part of our engagement story as much as the engagement itself. You will not find another team that are more invested and passionate about making sure that the bespoke ring they design for you is nothing short of perfect.”

“What an amazing experience we had with Laura and the team designing a bespoke engagement ring. The service was faultless from initial consultation where Laura really took the time to get know us and share her expertise, to collecting our ring, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. It was so special to meet Laura to collect our ring in the end and gave us another excuse to celebrate! Forever thankful to Laura and the team for the experience and for the ring of my dreams.”
