Bespoke jewelry by i seira
Investing in jewelry is a considered process that creates significant memories. i seira is passionate about creating bespoke pieces that capture individual identity. Each piece is thoughtfully and carefully crafted, entirely handmade, and intended to be passed down through generations.
Clients looking for an entirely bespoke piece will work closely with i seira founder, Alexa, to create a beautifully designed heirloom piece. Whether it is repurposing a stone or creating a piece for a special occasion or for everyday wear, Alexa will ensure a collaborative experience with exceptional customer service.
Please note, we only take on a handful of entirely bespoke orders each year. Beginning September 15th, bespoke ordering will be available again so please ensure you sign-up for our newsletter to be the first to know.
The Bespoke process
i. Collaboration. Together, we will go through the process of creating, from concept to sketch to material ideas. A non-refundable deposit of $250, which will be applied to the final cost, is required.
ii. Approval. Once sketches and gemstones are selected and approved, a final cost estimate will be determined and a 60% deposit is collected for production to begin.
iii. Creation. Alexa then carefully hand-crafts your custom piece, providing process images throughout production. Lead time for entirely bespoke work usually ranges from 8-12 weeks. Alexa is always available via call or email to ensure seamless communication.
iv. Delivery. Final images will be provided for approval and the balance collected. The piece will be ready for delivery and to be worn and loved!

BESPOKE BANGLE I
A simple hammered bangle, custom sized and handmade to complement a current bangle stack. 22k gold, of course. Some pieces are chosen to celebrate a personal moment — quietly meaningful and made to last.
MILESTONE BIRTHDAY
Jewelry often is given to mark a moment in time. The bespoke process is thoughtful and deeply personal, and making a custom 22k chain is a meditative process. Though each stage is repetitive; no machine can recreate the perfectly imperfect finish of a handcrafted, high karat gold chain. This 26” handmade chain can be shortened and worn with or without the Large Sculptural II Pendant. Daily or dress, though usually always, a forever piece.
GRADUATION GIFT
Marking a celebratory rite of passage, and creating a very personal moment in time. A custom creation for a most lovely customer with a specially sourced ancient coin from the (ancient) city of her birth, gold on gold, a favorite combination!
ANNIVERSARY GIFT
This one of a kind, 20th anniversary gift was designed through i seira’s deeply personal process. This piece was an absolute delight to create and creatively so fulfilling to design and hand-carve. A 1.73 ct Zambian emerald, chosen for its depth, color, and meaning (a 20th anniversary in the month of May) sits at the heart of a 22k sculptural pendant, perfectly suited to pair with the signature pod necklace.
BESPOKE BANGLE II
A custom piece for a sister, in memory of her own. A scarab bracelet worn daily by the sister she lost, repurposed into the centerpiece of a hand-carved, high karat gold bangle. A personal heirloom, designed to carry her presence forward.
