Private commissions by Iliyan Dzhondzhov

Made for your story. Kept for you.

I create a single piece of jewellery around the person, memory or moment you choose to share with me. From our first conversation to the finished work, it is personal.

The work begins with you

Tell me what matters.

A person. An achievement. A feeling you want to keep close. We speak directly, and, when it is right for the project, we can arrange to meet in person before I begin the design.

I create the piece for you alone. I never repeat a design, whether commissioned or created from my own ideas. I personally hand the finished work over to you.

Private by default

Your story stays yours.

Discretion matters to me. Your project will appear in my portfolio or public channels only with your express permission. Once acquired, the piece is yours alone. You decide whether its story is shared.

Before commissioning a piece

Do I need a finished design idea?

No. Begin with the person, occasion or memory the piece is for. If you have preferences for a shape, metal or gemstone, share them. Our conversation will guide the original design.

How is bespoke jewellery priced?

The minimum budget for bespoke jewellery, including an engagement ring, is $3,000. The price is established for the particular design, materials and gemstone, if the project includes one. You can share an approximate budget at the beginning. Before work starts, you will receive a private proposal with the price, deposit and terms.

How long does a commission take?

The timeframe depends on the project, the choice of materials and the work required. If the piece is for a particular date, include it in your enquiry. We will confirm what is possible and agree the timeframe before work begins.

Will there be another piece in my design?

No. Every original ILIYAN design is made only once, whether privately commissioned or created from my own idea. A client project is shared publicly only with the client's express permission.

A private beginning

Start with a note.

Share as much or as little as you wish for now. I will reply personally to discuss the idea, the scope and whether an in-person meeting makes sense.

After we agree on the direction, I’ll send you a private proposal with the price, deposit and any travel plans before we begin.

The minimum budget for bespoke jewellery, including an engagement ring, is $3,000.
