The name says it all—AKA Bespoke Jewellers is the place to go for those special pieces 100% tailored for you. These family jewellery designers, who also offer repairs and re-purposing, have been in the business since 1910.

What we love about their bespoke services is they create jewellery right in their shop, which starts with a no-obligation consultation. And yes, all of their jewellery is manufactured by hand, so you know it’s unique.

The catch is there’s not a lot of ready-made options since they specialise in bespoke jewellery. Do note that all of their gold is only sold in 18 carats, which is good for fine jewellery, but it still limits your choices and budget.

Nonetheless, most clients we spoke with mentioned the staff gave loads of suggestions so you don’t go over budget. But if you do, they offer financing options.

Lastly, we love that they only use ethical sources. A mindful jeweller? We approve, of course!

Fantastic service

“Once again a fantastic service from AKA. Kiran re-modelled my late parents and grandparents jewellery into a beautiful heart pendant and cuff bangle. I am so pleased with results. I would definitely recommend AKA for your bespoke jewellery requirements.”

Unique pieces with such flair and taste

“Kiran, Rohan and their staff at AKA Bespoke Jewellers are friendly and approachable. Their work is so creative, fashioning professional hand-crafted unique pieces with such flair and taste. They cannot be described as fast but then perfection takes time. I have received so many compliments and have no hesitation in recommending them in all lines of jewellery and watches. You won’t be disappointed.”

Noah James had us at ethical practices—both their gemstones and metals are from ethical sources. It’s a cherry on top that their jewellery is all designed and made in-house.

These guys know how to make classic and unique pieces. They offer bespoke, as well as ready-made, although this one comes in a limited selection based on the type of jewellery.

Still, we love the options you get. You can choose between a natural, lab-grown, or coloured stone for a one-of-a-kind look.

Plus, their list is pretty extensive, including bracelets, dress rings, pendants, and pre-owned jewellery. All the ready-made pieces are good inspirations for your bespoke service, which you can book online or in person!

We also love the easy booking system, where you can book their other services, like repairs, cleaning, and valuations.

The craftsmanship deserves praise. You get exactly what you designed (and paid for!) because they provide a prototype so you see your jewellery before it’s made.

Listened to everything we asked for

“Excellent! They made us a bespoke engagement ring that we are so happy with. Ashleigh was so helpful and listened to every detail that we asked for… even when it took us months to decide, we never felt rushed or pressured. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Thanks so much!”

-Dr May, Google Review

The designer is so patient

“This is the second purchase we’ve made from Noah James. Ashleigh designed us a one of a kind engagement ring made from an eternity ring my grandma gave me and now we’ve just bought our wedding bands too. We shopped around before deciding to go with Noah James but I can honestly say it was the best decision we made going with them. Unlike other companies, they create you a plastic prototype of your ring design so that you can make sure you like it before it goes into production. Ashleigh the designer is so patient and couldn’t do enough for us (and we were picky). Thanks so much Ashleigh and the team!”

With only one look at their collection, Selina Campbell, a bespoke artisan jewellery designer in Manchester, has already earned our approval. Their products scream one-of-a-kind—even clients said so!

They specialise in bespoke jewellery but still offer pieces online. Although few, they’re still uniquely designed.

We really like that you can choose from a variety of precious metals, such as red gold, white gold, yellow gold, and sterling silver—and the golds come in 9 and 18 carats. These options are solid, budget-wise.

Speaking of budgets, their bespoke jewellery is fairly priced. Gold starts at £550, which is really reasonable in this industry!

It’s awesome you can stick to sustainable practices, as you can recycle your gold, restyle your diamonds, and remodel your jewellery. Even better, couples can join the workshop to make their own rings!

It’s not that big of a deal they’re only open 4 days a week because the prices are fair for the designs you get!

Professionalism was impeccable

“We trusted Selina Campbell Jewellery to create a bespoke wedding band. From start to finish their professionalism was impeccable. Everything about their service (and the ring created) was perfect; price, timings, communication.”

-Matt Oakes, Google Review

Quality of work is excellent

“I first heard of Selina through my sister who had had a beautiful bespoke engagement ring made by Selina.  I wanted to recycle my  original engagement ring into a new one. I had an idea  of how I wanted it to be and Charlotte helped me refine my ideas so that I had a design that was similar to my old ring but included  additional  stones. Despite having an unusual centre stone colour in mind, Selina and Charlotte were able to source the exact stone I wanted!    I now have a ring that I absolutely adore! Their customer service was great and the quality of the work in the ring is excellent. I would definitely recommend.”

Manchester is home to a jewellery designer who crafts pieces that evoke emotions. We’re talking about Si Vis Amari, a place to go any day of the week if you fancy passionate designs.

They focus on bespoke engagement rings and wedding bands, so don’t expect loads of jewellery types. Nevertheless, we appreciate that they try to maintain design exclusivity to ensure one-of-a-kind rings.

It’s worth highlighting that they strictly use conflict-free diamonds, so you’re sure you aren’t getting blood diamonds here! It’s also cool that they offer lab-grown diamonds—add that to their list of ethical practices!

Another thing worth mentioning is that most clients have loved their high-quality and uniquely designed rings. If you want something classic, they offer that too!

And no, you don’t need too much money for a unique, artisan ring. These Manchester jewellery designers know how to put a fair price, which already includes resin and silver prototypes for bespoke services.

Very laid-back but professional

“Brilliant service from Bud when choosing an engagement ring. He was very laid back but professional, and was systematic and thorough in talking me through the process of choosing the ring. Also went out of his way to deliver the ring following its resizing, just in time for the engagement party. Definitely recommend.”

-Carl Pearson, Google Review

Felt listened to and received good advice

“We went to Bud with two tanzanite stones to create bespoke rings. The initial consultation was very informative and it is clear that Bud is an expert in the field as we walked away with lots of information and knowledge. The process of creating the ring was perfect and we felt extremely listened to along with receiving some good advice from Bud about what would work best for the stone. The final rings were just beautiful and exceeded expectations. We can’t thank him enough and liked his work that much we’re wanting more rings to be made and already started another consultation with him.”

Located at Manchester Craft and Design Centre, Eve Redmond Jewellery is truly an artisan. The designs are innovative and not something you’ll find anywhere else.

You’ll see handmade pieces here that are truly yours! We particularly like that they make one-offs for commissions so that the design is made only for you—and you can get them engraved!

We like that you can take advantage of design flexibility because they use both precious and semi-precious metals. Plus, they work with gemstones, diamonds, and pearls!

There’s a decent number of ready-made collections to choose from, but you won’t find gold in all of them. They mostly use gold for wedding and engagement rings, as well as commissions.

They also recycle gold and turn it into something special. We’re confident that you’ll like what you get because many clients (including us!) have praised their jewellery designer for high-quality work!

And since everything is handmade, the prices are fair—definitely not ridiculously overpriced!

Excellent quality and unique

“I have  bought several pairs of Eve’s earrings and they are all fabulous. Excellent quality, unique and feel amazing to wear. She’s my first port of call for special occasion gifts.”

-nico lab, Google Review

Quality is outstanding

“I purchased the silver nugget pendant on the oxidised silver chain. The quality is outstanding as always. My wife will be delighted with her Christmas present. I have purchased numerous items from Eve including our engagement and wedding rings. I cannot recommend highly enough, the service is excellent and postage was very efficient.The jewellery is always of the highest quality. I will definitely be back for more!”
