DREAM ⬩ MAKE ⬩ LOVE

In a world brimming with mass-produced adornments, owning a piece of jewellery that tells a story unique to you has real allure. It transcends the conventional and becomes a celebration of a personal moment sealed in time. The craftsmanship involved in making a bespoke jewel is a key part of the collaboration between clients and our team of helpful experts.

Since 1969, David M Robinson has upheld a legacy of excellence by safeguarding traditional goldsmithing techniques while using new technologies to drive innovation and expand design boundaries. At our main jewellery workshops – in Altrincham and Liverpool – our in-house designers, master goldsmiths and gem-setters specialise in crafting one-off bespoke pieces that narrate personal stories and capture the essence of individual preferences and aspirations.

As a family-owned business, we aim to build strong, enduring relationships. When clients are welcomed into the design process and included from start to finish, it gives them a truly joyful experience. There is something deeply personal about working to make someone’s vision a reality, capturing individual meaning in a piece crafted just for them.

‘The bespoke journey begins with a consultation, during which clients can express their ideas and inspirations guided by an expert. “You talk, we listen” is our mantra,’ says DMR jewellery designer Vix Smith. More than just a discussion, this face-to-face brainstorming meeting covers metal types, setting shapes, size, cut and colour of gemstones, as well as motifs and aesthetic styles.

This collaborative approach ensures that unique qualities are infused into the design from the start. Detailed sketches and technical drawings bring these preferences to life on paper, allowing you to see how colour, proportion and size will come together on your chosen silhouette.

CAD software and 3D models provide an accurate understanding of the finished jewel, allowing you to see your custom piece from multiple angles and inspect design details at close range, before the forging, setting and gold-finishing processes are undertaken by the in-house goldsmiths, using their wealth of experience to expert effect.

Ultimately, a custom-made piece is a canvas for personal expression, one that seals a moment in time and forever engages the senses.

‘Each piece is magical because it is activated by the special connectivity that exists between designer, maker and client. We strive to capture as many personal elements of a person’s story in our custom-made commissions as possible, and this is such a rare and wonderful expertise to have within our company.’
