What I Do
Jewellery Designer & Specialist.
Creating a bespoke piece is an intimate and personal experience that I will be with you every step of the way. Whether you are looking for a special engagement ring, or wedding bands or something unique made just for you, I will assist you in discovering your own style. Together, we will create pieces that reflect your personality and that suit your own lifestyle.
As a private jewellery designer & specialist without a traditional showroom, I offer an exclusive, tailored experience, bringing the artistry of fine jewellery directly to you. With a commitment to making this process effortless, we will typically meet just once, in the privacy of your home, where I’ll present a hand-selected collection of the finest gemstones and precious metals for your piece. Once crafted, I personally deliver your bespoke jewellery, ensuring that each step is refined, intimate, and beautifully convenient.
This is more than a service; it’s a luxurious experience designed entirely around you.
1. Initial Consultation
Start by booking in a complimentary 45 min appointment via phone or zoom call, where I will walk you through the process, access your project, ideas and inspiration and give you advice + recommendations on your custom piece. This is the time to ask all your questions. Alternatively, you can also send me an email with your request at contact@elpijewellery.com.
2. Discovery & Review
Every custom and redesign piece is unique and personal, so I strive to make sure you receive a curated one on one experience. In the discovery & review stage, I will ask you more detailed questions that will help me with the design of your piece. Please allow 3-5 business days for me to review everything and get back to you with a proposal. If you agree to the project and want to go ahead, I will require a 50% non refundable deposit to secure your project. Your deposit will be applicable to the final total.
3. Design Process
In this stage, I will provide you with a design brief, hand sketch or computer rendering of your design. Please note that this is provided on a project by project basis and will depend on the complexity of your design.
4. Source & Select
I will schedule another chat or meet up with you if needed to solidify your inspiration and vision. We will work closely to review the materials and stones I have sourced for you and choose the ones that are most suitable for your project.
5. Approval & Creation
I will provide you with the final design. Once I receive your final approval, I will begin the process of creating your jewellery piece and bringing it to life.

I specialise in transforming treasured heirlooms into stunning, modern pieces that will retain their sentimental value. Without a retail store, I bring this exclusive service directly to you, offering a highly personalised home consultation to begin the journey.
Remodelling heirloom jewellery is a personal and unique process and I am dedicated to crafting designs that reflect your own individual style while honouring the history of the original piece. My goal is to create something you’ll truly cherish.
1. C R E A T E
Our process starts in the privacy of your home, where I’ll take time to learn the story behind your piece and understand your vision for its transformation. This conversation is essential for capturing both the sentimental essence and design aspirations you hold for the jewellery. During this visit, I’ll also examine your piece to understand its composition, especially if we’re working with unknown stones or metals.
2. Design
I’ll create a bespoke design that incorporates elements of the original piece while giving it a contemporary update. This stage includes sketches and 3D renderings to help visualise the final piece.
3. Creating
Using high quality materials and expert craftsmanship, I will meticulously remodel your heirloom into a new, beautifully crafted piece.
4. Finalisation
Once the remodelling is complete, we review the piece together to ensure it meets your expectations and vision perfectly. The result is a unique piece of jewellery that seamlessly blends the old with the new.
* Before our consultation, I will require a $500 non-refundable deposit to secure this custom service for you. Your deposit will be applicable to the final total.*
I understand how challenging it can be to find the perfect natural diamond or coloured gemstone, especially with all conflicting information available. That’s why I am here to provide expert guidance, helping you navigate the complexities and choose the right stone for your needs. My ultimate goal is to ensure that you make an informed and confident choice.
1. Consultation
I begin with a detailed consultation over the phone, email or a zoom meeting to discuss your ideas, preferences and budget.
2. Search

We will schedule a meeting at your home where I will present you with a selection of stones, complete with detailed information and my professional recommendations to help you make the best choice.

At ELPI Jewellery, I am dedicated to making your stone sourcing journey as smooth and straightforward as possible. Your satisfaction is my priority and I am here to ensure you find the right stone for you.
I specialise in repairing and refurbishing fine jewellery, bringing your treasured pieces back to their best. From fixing broken clasps and resizing rings to replacing missing gemstones, I use careful techniques and top quality materials. At ELPI I also clean, polish and restore settings ensuring your jewellery looks fresh and remains special for years to come.
Clasp Repairs
A broken clasp can make a necklace or bracelet unwearable. I repair or replace all types of clasps, ensuring your jewellery is both functional and retains its original appearance.
Ring Resizing
Over time, rings may no longer fit as they should. I offer resizing services to adjust the ring’s size while maintaining its design and durability, ensuring a comfortable fit.
Gemstone Replacement
If you've lost a gemstone, I can replace it with a high-quality match, whether it's a diamond, sapphire, or another stone, restoring your piece to its original beauty.
Jewellery Cleaning
Daily wear can dull your jewellery’s shine. I provide professional cleaning and polishing to remove tarnish and scratches, revitalising your pieces to look as good as new.
Setting Restoration
Damaged settings can lead to lost gemstones. I repair and restore prongs and bezels, securing your stones and maintaining the design’s integrity and appearance.
