How a commission works

Five steps from the mine to your hand

Each stage is agreed with you before we move to the next. You see the stones, you approve the design, and nothing is made until you're happy with it.

Step by step

What to expect

01

Discovery & consultation

We talk about the piece you'd like, how you'll wear it, your budget and any date you're working towards.

02

Stone sourcing & selection

Our diamond team shows you stones from Debswana and Okavango Diamond Company rough that match your brief. Each one is documented back to Botswana, with a GIA or IGI grading report on request.

03

Design development

Sylvera London's designers draw the piece around your stone and refine it with you until the proportions are right.

04

Handcrafting in Dubai & Botswana

Master goldsmiths make the piece by hand and set your diamond with precision.

Delivery & aftercare

You receive the finished piece with its provenance papers and grading report, and we stay on hand for care and future pieces.
