N° 003 · Bespoke

A piece, made for one wearer.

The Four are a small grammar. A bespoke piece is a sentence written in it. Six to eight weeks, one stone, one bench.

Choice.

A short conversation, in person or on video. You bring a reference, a feeling, a finger size, or only a number — what you'd like the piece to cost. We bring stone options on the bench, with their IGI reports.

You pick the diamond first. Carat, colour, clarity, cut — we narrow the field to three or four candidates that fit the brief. The stone is the discipline of the piece; everything else is built around it.

The bench.

A first sketch. A second sketch. Then a wax — held against the wearer's hand. Adjustments to the proportions, the prong height, the band thickness. The wax is the slow part. Once it is right, the cast is fast.

Recycled 18k gold, eight prongs where four would do. The polishing is done by hand by the same person who set the stone. The IGI report is laid into the box at the end, with the date and the serial number that matches the engraving on the girdle.

Delivery.

A small box. Insured courier, signature required. Inside the box: one piece, one report, one date. The piece has not existed before this morning, and now it does.

Lifetime care begins on the date in the box. Once a year, send it back for a bench service. We do not charge.
