Join Us On A Custom Design Journey


“In a world where you can be anything, be yourself “

- Etta Turner



Individually crafted jewellery designs are masterpieces created with purpose and passion. They are pieces that have unwavering sentimental value, deeply-rooted meaning and are a tangible token of love. 

Unlike wearing a jewellery accessory because it’s ‘on-trend’ or donned by a Hollywood starlet,  a uniquely designed piece has special significance and is forever linked to an unforgettable memory or a person of importance in an individual's life. Specially handcrafted pieces exude elements of who a person is and when worn, illuminates feelings of value, rarity and prestige from within. This begs the question, ‘why would one ever wear an unoriginal piece that bears no reference or emotion?’. 

So much of the time jewellery pieces are produced with materials that are not of high worth. Quality and detail are usually mediocre and the items are more often than not purchased from non-ethical or unsustainable suppliers. When it’s made for a quick commercial buck, it’s replicated a million times over and it runs the risk of early deterioration, are you really just allowing your shiny coins to fall through the cracks? 



The Custom Designed Jewellery Journey 


The custom handmade experience takes personalisation to a whole new level. Whether the piece is to signify the importance of a personal relationship, illustrate one’s character or manner,  demonstrate gratitude or perhaps to celebrate a special moment, a personal handcrafted design is a worthwhile investment that never depreciates in value. If you are gifting someone with a piece to show your affection or if the purchase is an act of self-love and appreciation, the feeling of creating something that nobody else in this world has is truly exceptional. 

For over four decades, York Jewellers have witnessed the most delightful expressions of joy and happiness on the faces of clients who participate in the bespoke York Jewellers customer experience. This is a process comprised of ideation, design and creation pertaining to their own tailored jewellery designs with an experienced and highly skilled jeweller guiding them along the way.  This joint collaboration allows for ideas to manifest into a desired outcome with the utmost integrity, dedication, quality and originality.

Your budget, Our Flexibility

This preference affords you the freedom to decipher all materials according to your personal budget and taste.
