About Charlene →
Great Shelford sits just south of Cambridge, with quick access to the M11. From the village, the studio in Godmanchester is around seventeen miles west, typically a twenty five to thirty minute drive depending on Cambridge traffic. There is parking at the studio and Charlene works around your schedule.
Your first consultation is free, relaxed, and usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour. There is no pressure and no obligation to go ahead. From there, Charlene will produce hand drawn sketches and detailed 3D CAD visuals. You can try on a 3D printed resin model of your ring before the final piece is made. Every finished piece is independently hallmarked at a UK Assay Office.
Most commissions take eight to twelve weeks from design approval to collection.
Book A Free Consultation
Everything starts with a free consultation where you sit down with Charlene and talk through what you are looking for. Your ideas, your taste, your budget, and any questions you have. You do not need to arrive with a finished idea. Most people come with a feeling, a few saved images, or just a sense of what they do not want. See the full process.
Charlene then produces hand drawn sketches before developing detailed 3D CAD visuals so you can see the ring from every angle. Before the final piece is made, she can have a 3D printed resin model created for you to try on. You get to feel the weight, check the fit, and see exactly how it looks on your hand.
Charlene works with 9ct, 14ct, and 18ct gold in yellow, white, and rose, as well as platinum and palladium. Stones include natural and lab created diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and coloured gemstones. Every finished piece is sent to the Birmingham Assay Office for independent hallmarking before it reaches you.
Every ring is different so the cost depends on the metal, the complexity of the design, and whether stones are involved. Charlene will give you an honest quote during your free consultation so you know exactly what to expect before committing to anything.
Most commissions take eight to twelve weeks from design approval to the finished ring, depending on complexity. If your wedding date is close, Charlene will always be honest about what is achievable in the time available.
Not at all. Some people arrive with detailed sketches and reference images. Others arrive with nothing more than a vague feeling. Both are completely fine. The consultation is where Charlene helps you figure out what you want.
Yes. Once the CAD design is finalised, Charlene can have a 3D printed resin model made for you to try on. You get to check the fit, feel the weight, and see how it looks on your hand before the final piece is created.
Charlene is based in Godmanchester, around seventeen miles west of Great Shelford via the M11 and A14. Most clients can be at a consultation within twenty five to thirty minutes. Consultations can also take place over video call if that is more convenient.
Absolutely. Charlene regularly incorporates family stones, inherited gold, and existing pieces into new designs. If you have something that means something to you, it can become part of whatever you create together.
