V’s designer, Laura Vann, specialises in creating timeless, Art Deco style jewellery that will be treasured for a lifetime.
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.
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.
Following a successful consultation where a detailed brief will have been established, Laura will draw up initial sketches of your bespoke piece.
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.
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.
We only work in gold and platinum for our bespoke pieces. The minimum spend for wedding bands is £2000, for engagement rings it’s £2500 and for remodelling heirloom jewellery it’s £2,500. In the interest of guaranteeing quality we do not work with customer provided stones other than hardwearing heirloom jewels in good condition.
Consultations cost £50 and are fully redeemable against the purchase of a bespoke ring. After your consultation we will provide sketches and upon confirmation of your desired design we take a 50% deposit payment. Upon receipt of payment we will issue you with detailed CADs and proceed to production. The outstanding balance, minus the £50 consultation fee, will be charged once the commissioned piece is completed.
