What It’s Like to Create a Ring Together
Every ring starts with a story, and being trusted to turn those stories into something a woman can wear for years to come means so much to me.

Highly recommend Design Bay Jewellery! Nadine was unreal!! She had my order within a short time frame (really saved me!) My now fiancé was speechless and it really was a... read more dream ring. Honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better. For something that could have been high stress, Nadine really went out of her way to make it easeful for me. The stone was sourced by her, custom inscription, lots of great communication and design options and there have been countless compliments on the ring! 11/10

August 13, 2026 Jewellery is like art. We each have our own personal taste. We all differ in what we resonate with, what inspires us at our core when we let our eyes... read more soak in the work and admire the skill it takes to bring it to life. Nadine at Design Bay Jewellery is an artist, through her talents and in her heart. By choosing Nadine to design a very special ring, it was hard to not get swept away with her positive energy and passion to embrace and elevate the human spirit. What sets Design Bay Jewellery apart is that you don't just design a ring, you are taken on a whole personal journey of self discovery, and it seems to be just what your soul needed. On top of that, it is fun, collaborative and even more creative than you could have ever imagined. I wish I could give Nadine 10 stars for my beautiful ring. If you've been thinking of designing a lifetime piece, with your own personal taste to mark something meaningful in your life, then I would whole-heartedly recommend Nadine. One zoom meeting with her will leave you buzzing, and so excited for what's to come!

Towards the end of my Para Cycling career I was contacted by Nadine about designing a ring for me as a reminder of my 14 year career. I was... read more over the moon to work with her over a few months for a design I could love. When it was finished I just happened to be in her state and she kindly drove over an hour just to drop it off to me. To say I am happy with it wouldn't give it justice. I love it and show everyone I meet about it and the significance to me. She even inscribed it with my motto "It's Never Too Late". Even after paying Nadine for the stones required she refunded me a huge portion of my payment because it came in cheaper than she thougt it would. Talk about a professional! If you want some beautiful jewellery made for yourself or a loved one I can highly recommend Design Bay Jewellery! Nadine was so easy to work with and as I said earlier a real professional.

March 5, 2025 Nadine worked with me to design two beautiful rings, made with stones that were left to me by my Mum. They were hard stones to work with, but the end... read more result was magical. These two gorgeous rings have taken two stones that were gifted to my Mum from my Dad, added other lovely gemstones to them, and crafted to highlight their beauty. The process was careful and deliberate and this was definitely reflected in the result.

September 9, 2024 I recently had the privilege of acquiring the exquisite bespoke ring, ‘Mayumi’ inscribed with the inspirational words “everything happens for a reason”. This ring has become more than just an... read more accessory; it has become a symbol of strength and inspiration in my life. The craftsmanship of the Mayumi ring is truly remarkable. The delicate design and attention to detail make it a true work of art. From the moment I set eyes on it, I knew it was something special. The inscription, "everything happens for a reason," serves as a constant reminder for me to stay strong and resilient, even in the face of life's greatest challenges. During difficult times, this ring has been a beacon of hope and a source of solace for me. It serves as a tangible reminder that no matter how daunting a situation may appear, there is always a purpose behind the struggle.

I created a personalised inscribed ring with Design Bay Jewellery, and it was honestly the most magical and rewarding experience!!! I had such high expectations for what this ring needed... read more to mean to me - but I'm not creative at all - and it was Nadine who designed and delivered me a ring that now takes my breath away every single day. It is authentic, elegant and impactful and so much more than I ever imagined! The journey start to finish was both happy and inspiring, with Nadine getting to know me and what I wanted the ring to embody. She really managed to capture the essence of everything I wanted this ring to stand for (and also what would work in with my wedding rings). From choosing the right rare gemstone, to the cut, style and design...honestly this ring and the inscription mean the world to me and the process of creating it was incredibly fulfilling. Nadine is a beautiful talented intuitive soul, and I can't recommend her highly enough. If you are sitting on the fence like I initially was, just reach out and talk to her, she is a jewellery goddess!
