BESPOKE JEWELLERS/ CRAZY PIG DESIGNS

Sometimes BESPOKE can be a tiny little thing
as shown here below.

A customer approached CRAZY PIG DESIGNS with his simple
but very precise idea and design for a silver pendant.
All the parameters had very specific measurements
so it had to be 100% exact.
We quote this client and he placed the order.
When he came to collect he was delighted
with the result and was ready to pay.
But we had had good news because we actually charged
him half of what he was quoted, simply because
it was a lot easier and quicker to make than anticipated.

VAN HALEN versus RICHIE BLACKMORE RAINBOW

First of all I need to mention that this blog has got nothing to do with jewellery
but if you are into CLASSIC ROCK music like myself
you might be curious to find out what this is all about.

Let's assume  RAINBOW and VAN HALEN were playing
on the same evening in your town ( both band in their prime circa 1979)

Who would you choose ?
VAN HALEN

or RAINBOW

Is DIO better than ROTH
Is COZY better than ALEX
Is RICHIE better than EDDIE

YOU DECIDE
Its only ROCK & ROLL

DAVE STEWART -EURYTHMICS Bespoke jewellery

Dave Steward has been a regular at Crazy Pig Designs for many years
And we are proud to have made for him many bespoke pieces
including his wedding rings.
However here's a fairly simple silver ring that we made
and he seems to be his favourite.
He approach us with the idea of having the initials of each of his
children on a ring.
A fairly simple idea but we put some thought into it
and came up with the ring shown here.

Dave's children name are:
DJANGO, KAYA, SAM and INDYA
It was obvious that it spelled the word  KIDS
How perfect!
So we carved each of the first letters in 3D
and placed them randomly on the front of a rough cut
and chunky ring,Like carved out of stone.
Sometimes its all about design.
That is why we are CRAZY PIG DESIGNS
