Our hand-drawn bespoke jewellery designs


At Calla Lily, the bespoke experience begins with a conversation. We take the time to sit with you and learn about your personality and dress styles, your likes and dislikes, and we’ll draw sketches until something catches your eye. The next step is to draw a few different options for you to choose from and we’ll tweak the option you like until it’s just what you’re after. Then we’ll work towards the final detailed drawing, in full colour, so you can visualise what the coloured gemstones and diamonds, and gold work will look like in real life.

In this post, you’ll be able to see a selection of the final drawings we provided to our clients for their bespoke jewellery pieces, and we’ll show you pictures of the final pieces too!

Our client commissioned this blue fireworks inspired piece for her wedding. The modular design can be worn as studs or together with dangles. The original drawing is shown above and the final piece below.
