Do you find yourself eyeing a beautiful piece of fine jewellery just to discover that there’s something not quite “you” about it? Or do you have a lovely bit of heirloom jewellery that you’d love to wear but, again, the style is not quite right?

If this person is you, then you’re the sort of jewellery shopper who really needs to find a bespoke, or made-to-order, jewellery brand to help create exactly what you want. Jewellery, like perfume and art, is intensely personal so it’s no wonder we often find it hard to get exactly what we want.

As a true lover of fine jewellery, this same sort of thing kept happening to radio personality Maddy Barber from Kiss92: “Often I’d walk into a jewellery store and see something nice but not totally ‘me,’ then walk away wishing I could make slight tweaks to it just to call it my own.”

So, that’s what she did; start her own bespoke jewellery brand.

How does it work? Basically you need to organise an appointment with Maddy to work out exactly what sort of piece you want. You’ll also get to choose your stone, or stones, from a huge range that includes spinels from Burma, sapphires from Sri Lanka, tanzanites from Tanzania and tourmalines from Namibia.

Prices start from $2,500 and will go up to wherever it needs to be depending on the size, quality, type and number of stones in your piece. Madly pieces are all made with 18K gold too. If you’re providing your own gems from heirloom pieces then that will all factor into the final price as well.

So what are you waiting for? Get your ideas ready and make that appointment so you too can be the owner of your very own bespoke piece of fine jewellery.
