Contemporary Caribbean Handmade Jewellery
Much of Janice’s work is made to private commission. Commissioning handmade work allows the client to be a part of the design process and makes the piece extra special as a result, be it for a wedding, anniversary or another special occasion.
Janice’s design style is simple and elegant, without heavy embellishment; it’s good to think about her style to make sure it suits your commission. Most of Janice’s commissions are inspired by the work she already does; if she feels that what you want is not a good fit, chances are she will know someone who is and point you in their direction.
It’s always a good idea to do some research and refine what you like or what the person you are commissioning for likes. A few online searches can narrow down your ideas.
We can remodel sentimental jewellery, using both the gold/silver and stones to create a contemporary new piece. We hold a selection of different diamonds, as well as a large array of semi-precious stones for clients to browse; all carefully chosen for their unique colour and cut. If there is something specific you are after, we can source a variety of different gemstones. Janice uses reputable diamond and gemstone dealers and stones can be certificated if required.
Commissions can take up to 10 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the piece.
You can get in touch with me by email, phone call, message or through Instagram or Facebook to make an appointment to meet with me (or we can do this via FaceTime/Zoom). I would ask you to bring along or share electronically images or sketches of ideas for what you have in mind.
During our meeting I will ask a lot of questions; your budget, type of metal(s) you prefer, if you want stones and which ones, deadline, etc. and I will take measurements as necessary. This is also your chance to ask questions… no questions are ‘stupid’!
I will draw up a couple of designs for you to consider and quote a price for each option. This is your time to ask more questions that you may have thought of.
You choose a design and we confirm a price and the deadline for the work to be completed. A 50% deposit is usually required before work will begin.
Finally, I present you with your special piece and you are delighted… you have successfully commissioned an original work of art.
