Your bespoke journeyā¦
-
At India Mee we provide both bespoke and remodelling jewellery services.
Bespoke jewellery design means that we create you a completely unique piece of jewellery. We take your ideas and inspiration and design something tailored just for you.
Remodelling involves taking unworn heirloom jewellery and reworking it to transform old jewellery into something new that you love. We can use the precious metals and stones from your unworn jewellery, and incorporate new stones and precious metals into your design.
-
Get in touch with us here via our enquiry form
We will then have a consultation call, usually around 15-minutes, to discuss initial ideas, concepts, inspiration, style, and budget.
After taking a £150 design deposit, which is deducted from the final cost of your piece, we draw up the first set of designs and email them across to you for feedback.
We can develop your design over phone/email, or in our studio if you are local.
Once you are happy with the finalised design we ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit before we start making your piece.
It takes 5-8 weeks from deposit payment to create your piece. If you have a specific date in mind, we will try our best to accommodate.
Final payments are made before your collection appointment, or if you are not local we can organise tracked and insured delivery.
-
We have a minimum spend of £1000 for our bespoke jewellery service.
Due to the labour intensive process of remodelling, the cost is similar to that of our bespoke service.
-
A lot of time and care goes into our design process, and since we are a small family studio we ask for a £150 design deposit before we start drawing up your first designs.
This deposit is then taken off the final cost of your piece.
For bespoke and remodelled orders, we require a 50% fee of the total amount due as confirmation of your order before production can begin.
This fee is non-refundable. At this point, you will be committed to purchase and your order cannot be cancelled.
The remainder will then need to be paid in full before collection or dispatch of the order. We are more than happy to send you photos of your piece as it is in process.
We offer a 10% discount on wedding bands for couples who commission their engagement rings with us.
-
Making pieces for love with love is at the heart of what we create at India Mee Jewellery.
We are proud to offer consciously created jewellery with a fully traceable supply chain, made and mined without causing people or the planet to suffer.
We source our metals and gemstones to have the least environmental impact and only work with suppliers who treat their employees fairly and safely.
We use conflict-free diamonds and recycled or Fairtrade precious metals.
All of our packaging is recyclable and sustainable.

The bespoke process.
Marking a special occasion? Popping the big question? Re-imagining a precious piece of heirloom jewellery? Letās bring your ideas to life:
1. Get in Touch & Book a Consultation
Get in touch with us by filling out our enquiry form. Whether you have a clear vision or just an idea, weāll be delighted to help refine your design!
Some things weāll discuss in your consultation call:
ā Jewellery Type: Are you looking for a ring, necklace, earrings, or another custom piece?
ā Metal & Gemstones ā We work with yellow gold, white gold, platinum, rose gold and silver. We have a selection of ethically sourced diamonds and gemstones, or we can source the perfect stone for your design.
ā Budget: Let us know if you have a specific budget in mind.
ā Deadline: Need your piece by a certain date? Let us know, especially for weddings or special occasions.
We offer initial 15-minute consultations over the phone to discuss your ideas, style, budget, and inspiration.
2. Sketching & Design Development
After your consultation, we will create your initial design sketches. Weāll send these by email for feedback. From there, we refine and develop your design until youāre completely happy.
If youāre local to Bristol, weād love to meet in person for a cup of tea and to go over the details.
3. Choosing Your Gemstones
We have a selection of diamonds and gemstones to suit different preferences and budgets. We can send you photos and videos. If youāre nearby, you can pop into our cosy Stokes Croft studio to browse our collection.
For engagement rings, we start with choosing the centre stone (the main focus of the piece) and then build our designs from there.
4. Finalising the Design & Quote
Once youāve decided on your final design, we create detailed drawings from all angles so you can see exactly how your piece will come together. At this stage, we provide a final quote for your special piece.
For remodelled pieces, weāll have to see your jewellery in person before being able to make detailed drawings of the final design.
5. Payment & Making
Now that we have the final design for your bespoke jewellery, weāll begin crafting in the studio after youāve made the 50% deposit of the total cost. This deposit confirms your order and is non-refundable. The remaining balance is to be paid in full before collection or dispatch.
Making your bespoke piece will take roughly 5-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design. If you have a specific deadline, weāll do our best to work to that date.
For remodelled pieces, weāll ask you to sign a waiver before working with your gold and jewels as there is some risk in the reworking process.
6. Crafting & Completion
Your jewellery will be handcrafted by us (India & Jack) in our Bristol studio workshop to the highest standards using Fairtrade and ethical stones and precious metals. Weāre more than happy to keep you updated during the process with photos and videos!
7. Collection or Delivery
Once your piece is complete, weāll get in touch to welcome you to a collection appointment at our studio.
If youāve commissioned an engagement ring, weād love to invite you and your partner in for a glass of bubbles to celebrate!
During your appointment, weāll check the fit and discuss your jewellery aftercare.
If youāre not local, we offer tracked and insured delivery to ensure your bespoke piece reaches you safely.
