Marisa Arna designs and makes every engagement, wedding and commitment ring by hand, from start to finish.
Most of the rings are bespoke but there is a small selection of them on display at the jewellery studio and gallery, which is open to the public. If you do not find something that fits you at the gallery, or if you would like a bespoke ring, a free consultation would be the first step towards commissioning Marisa to make it.
This is followed by one or two fitting sessions, before she finishes it and sets the stones. She will happily listen to ideas, combine them with her wide range of designs, before putting together the final ring design, which will be unique to you.
Marisa will design and make a ring which suits your lifestyle and budget. The shape can be round or even square which is one of Marisa’s favourites.

At Jonathan Lambert, they know that your wedding ring is an item of jewellery that will be worn more than any other. By creating something truly unique and meaningful makes an already cherished symbol even more special. Bespoke jewellery is our speciality.
Creating your bespoke ring couldn’t be simpler. Initially they will discuss the ideas for your ring with you and either design ideas from scratch, or if you have gemstones and gold from inherited jewellery that you would like to include they can do this too.
Yasmin then hand paints a selection of designs for you to choose from, which will be yours to keep once the ring has been made. When you have chosen the perfect wedding ring design for you, your ring will then be made by Jonathan and his team at the in-house workshop.
So if you have ever thought you may like to explore bespoke wedding ring ideas, go and have a chat with them and they would be delighted to go on that journey with you.

Bespoke jewellers Rick and Maggie Chapman moved their jewellery workshop from Sudbury to Woodbridge four years ago. Rick has been making fine jewellery for over 40 years and they design and handmake all their jewellery to order, using traditional tools and methods.
They also undertake restorations to quality jewellery, and remodel pieces. In addition they run day courses for individuals to make a piece of jewellery or for couples to make their wedding rings.
This is very popular, giving the couple a unique and memorable day. The rings can be made in gold, palladium or platinum. They can be shaped to fit with an existing wedding ring, diamond set, or engraved.
Rick enjoys teaching, and explaining techniques, and is passionate about his work. People visit the workshop just to see him working at the bench, watching him create beautiful, individual pieces. Opening hours Thursday to Saturday 9-5. Other times by appointment.
