Custom jewellery design covers everything from concept to finished piece. Many jewellers can guide you through stone and metal options, then create made-to-order designs to suit your style and budget.

BB Designer Jewellers is a family-owned jewellery studio based in Newtown, Sydney, specialising in bespoke engagement rings, wedding rings and custom-made fine jewellery. Founded in 2004 by Vartan and Narenay Bakalian, the business has spent more than two decades combining traditional craftsmanship with personalised service and contemporary design.
Each custom piece is created in-house by experienced artisans using a combination of handcrafting and modern techniques including CAD design and laser welding. Clients are closely involved throughout the process, from exploring ideas and selecting diamonds or gemstones to refining the final design, ensuring the finished jewellery reflects their individual style and story.
BB Designer Jewellers works with both natural and lab-grown diamonds and offers a wide variety of ring styles, metals and settings. The studio also creates men’s and women’s wedding rings, fine jewellery and heirloom pieces designed to be treasured for generations.
Ethical sourcing, transparency and attention to detail are central to the business, with diamonds and gemstones selected with a focus on quality and responsible practices.

Gemstone sourcing helps you find the right stone based on cut, colour, clarity, size and budget. It's useful if you want something specific or want expert guidance comparing options before setting.
An online shop lets you browse and purchase remotely, often with delivery Australia-wide. Before buying, check sizing guidance, delivery timeframes, returns, warranties and aftercare.
Repairs can include resizing, clasp replacement, chain repairs, polishing, re-stringing and stone re-setting. Ask about turnaround time and whether repair work comes with a service warranty.
In-store shopping is ideal if you want to see pieces in person and compare options with guidance. Many jewellers can advise on fit, styling, care, and gift ideas while you browse.
Jewellery valuations provide written documentation for insurance, resale or estate purposes. A valuation records materials, gemstone details, condition and an assessed value using current market factors.
