Why Your Perfect Piece May Be Bespoke - Custom Made By Paddington Jeweller
Creating custom jewellery offers a deeply personal and meaningful experience, transforming your ideas into a piece that truly reflects your personality, style, and story. Different from off-the-rack pieces, custom designing your jewellery allows you to control every detail - from materials and gemstones to design specifics - ensuring a one-of-a-kind creation. It's ideal for commemorating special occasions, celebrating achievements, or repurposing sentimental heirlooms, making the resulting piece not only unique but also filled with personal significance.
Here at Paddington Jeweller we are immensely proud of the custom work we’ve done for our customers, and wanted to showcase just a few of our favourites:
Custom Piece #1 - MICHAEL R CM1
Michael's partner had this two-stone ring design "Toi et Moi" for her engagement ring. The 1.50ct pear-cut and 1.60ct oval-cut diamonds were carefully chosen to match the length and shape of her fingers and hand and the final outcome was beyond expectation for Michael.
Toi et Moi rings are becoming increasingly popular as its concept is appropriate for celebrating a new beginning as a pair.
Custom Piece #2 - JUDY CM

Our client Judy came to us with a stunning pear-shaped morganite stone. After working alongside Judy, we paired it with a halo of lustrous smaller diamonds and set in 18KT gold to create this amazing ring.
Custom Piece #3 - David CM

David bought this stunning black opal in Lightning Ridge and chose to set it in this timeless signet ring made of 9kt yellow gold. A perfect combination of sentimental and custom elements to create this special piece.
Custom Piece #4 - Penny CM
Our client Penny bought a tiny signet ring with diamonds on the table, but when she put it next to her other rings, it looked too small. We worked with Penny to increase the size of the signet ring and incorporate her original piece.
Custom Piece #5 - Lisa H - CM
From render (L) to reality (R) with Paddington Jeweller
Designed by Lisa to celebrate years of friendship, we created this stunning 18kt yellow gold ring with a 1.0ct marquise cut lab-grown diamond. The soft curves in the design embodies the flow of life.
Custom Piece #6 - Fiona N - CM
Fiona had this superb and extremely elongated lab grown oval diamond to design her engagement ring with and her wish was to create a one-of-a-kind piece that showcased and accentuated the stone itself. The result was this stunning ring with a centred stone and a split shank, accompanied by two custom-cut triangular diamonds. Set in a band of 18kt yellow gold we are particularly taken with 2 custom cut triangular lab-grown diamonds.
How do I custom-design my own piece of dream jewellery?
It can seem like a daunting process, but our expert team is here to help you on your custom-made journey. All you have to do is:
STEP 1:
Send us a picture of your old jewellery, your stones or your ideas for a new jewellery piece by filling the form at the top of this page or pop in to the store. Show our design team your idea so we can give some advice on what options you have and the best way to do it along with an estimate.
STEP 2:
Once we have your design concept clear and we have your stones and metal you have at hand, we will draw a 3D CAD of your design jewellery, helping visualise your creation as it comes to life. At this point you are free to make changes to the CAD as you can now see everything in its proportion. When you are happy with the design and give us the approval we will give you the exact price to make your jewellery.
STEP 3:
After your final approval, from the CAD we print your design in 3D wax. This ensures that you will get the exact jewellery design that you approved, no different interpretations.
From here the production process will take only 4 weeks. We will contact you as soon as it is ready. All our jewellery has a 2 year warranty and we will be more than happy to help if they need any TLC in the future.
The custom process at Paddington Jeweller blends modern technology with traditional craftsmanship, offering a unique experience that makes the final result all the more meaningful.
Whether you’re looking to create a bespoke engagement ring, a new family heirloom, a commemorative piece, or a personal accessory, our team makes sure the experience is as memorable as the jewellery itself. With the final reveal, clients leave with more than just a piece of jewellery - they walk away with a work of art crafted just for them.
