Can I create a bepoke design remotely?
Yes, that's no problem! We are happy to set up phone or video calls if you prefer to not come into the studio.
What are your lead times for a bespoke project?
For a bespoke project we tend to ask for 3 months start to finish, that includes stone sourcing, design work, CAD and making. On occasion we can do a quick turnaround so always worth checking in case you have a tight deadline.
Is your jewellery made in the UK?
Yes, every item of Bear Brooksbank bespoke jewellery is made to the highest standard in Hatton Garden, London’s world famous jewellery quarter. We have worked with the same highly skilled goldsmiths since the brand launched in 2012.
What are the starting prices for bespoke and remodelling?
Our starting prices for our bespoke rings are £4,500 for the mount with stones added on top. Please note our signature gypsy ring styles start at £5,000 for the mount with stones on top.
Do you offer international shipping?
We offer shipping to most international destinations. Please contact us before placing your order if you have any questions regarding available shipping methods and/or prices.
Please be aware that any duty and taxes that may be due in the country of destination are the responsibility of the customer. Please contact our team for a quote and advice at info@bearbrooksbank.com.
We do not charge VAT if we are shipping your Bear Brooksbank piece out of the UK. Each country will have their own rate of VAT and import duty that is charged once the piece reaches its destination. Unfortunately the UK no longer offers VAT-free shopping for clients who are visiting and taking their jewellery home with them.
Do you sell wedding ringS?
We do! They are listed here, all of them are made to order though so we can make any adjustments you would like.
Do you work with lab grown diamonds or other stones from other suppliers?
No, we do not work with lab grown diamonds or stones from other suppliers. We are delighted to work with family stones or heirlooms though!
What if I want to incorporate another designer's work?
We will never directly copy another designer's work, and would always encourage you to go to the designer who's work you like. If it's a more general stone or ring shape you like, we can use this as a reference point but we will not recreate an exact replica of another ring.
What is a gypsy ring?
A type of setting where the stones are flush-set into a wide band. Typically there are one to five stones in the ring. A popular Victorian style of setting.
