Custom Fine Jewellery

Custom fine jewellery is the personalisation of an existing Layla Kaisi Collection design. An archive piece becomes the starting point, and selected elements including the central stone, precious metal, and finish are adapted for the individual who will wear it.

The defining character of the original is retained and the design language of the house remains present throughout. The result carries the language of the original in a piece singular to its wearer.

Custom adaptations are available across the Layla Kaisi Collection archive, including:

• Engagement rings
• Wedding rings and wedding bands
• Statement rings
• Cocktail rings
• Necklaces and pendants
• Earrings
• Bracelets

Each piece is adapted from an existing Layla Kaisi Collection design and personalised in stone, metal, and finish within the design codes of the house.

A custom commission begins with a consultation held with the team, in person at the Auckland atelier or via virtual correspondence for international clients. The client selects a design from the Layla Kaisi Collection archive as the starting point.

From that design, the client selects the elements that make the piece particular: the metal, the finish, and the shape and size of the central stone. The atelier presents suitable precious stones for selection before the piece progresses.

A final rendering of the adapted design is issued with a quote, inclusive of delivery and insurance. On approval, the piece enters the crafting phase and is completed at the atelier in Auckland.

A custom commission at Layla Kaisi Collection typically takes between eight and twelve weeks from consultation to completion.

Timelines vary depending on the design selected, stone sourcing requirements, and craftsmanship. Clients planning engagements, weddings, anniversaries, or significant occasions are encouraged to begin the process well in advance.

The investment for a custom commission depends on the design selected, the central stone, the precious metal, and craftsmanship requirements. Following the consultation, clients receive transparent guidance regarding investment before proceeding with the piece.

Custom commissions typically begin at a lower investment than bespoke, reflecting the difference in design process.

Layla Kaisi Collection will only work with diamonds and precious stones sourced by the house.

Subject to atelier discretion, heirloom precious stones that hold personal significance can be incorporated into a custom design, preserving their history within the adapted piece. Each stone is assessed individually to ensure it is suitable for the chosen design and capable of achieving the intended result.

Yes. A custom engagement ring can be commissioned in confidence, with discreet communication throughout. In many cases, both partners attend an initial consultation together to explore designs from the Layla Kaisi Collection archive, before one partner takes ownership of the commission and the specific adaptation is finalised privately. This allows preferences to be understood without compromising the surprise.

Guidance is also provided when ring sizing information is unavailable.

A custom jewellery design begins with a consultation with the Layla Kaisi Collection team.

During this conversation, the design selected from the Layla Kaisi Collection archive, the preferred elements to be adapted, the timeline, and the overall intent for the piece are discussed. The consultation provides the foundation for a considered and highly personalised adaptation.
