Custom Jewellery

“I find India Mahon's jewellery both beautiful and utterly covetable. Everything she makes, is wonderful, whether she is using silk, gold or silver, crystals, gemstones or more serious jewels. I have bought affordable gifts for friends, special gifts and treats for myself, all of which have been unique and lovely. The highlight of my (rather major) recent birthday was a wonderful bespoke necklace from my husband which we commissioned from India. My husband and I visited her a few times to discuss it. Each visit was a pleasure as India is fun, warm and a true artist. She happily talked through my vague ideas about a long necklace.  Her enthusiasm for the design was amazing. She suggested unusual stones and revised the design several times, making gentle suggestions. The piece she made is indescribably beautiful and I adore it.”

I had great fun with the client designing and making this amazing ring stack with 28 diamonds taken from her engagement, wedding and eternity rings, to create a statement stack of modern diamond rings.

“I love them…. truly stunning piece …. that shows your quality of craftsmanship and design prowess, thank you”

The client was to create something unique, elegant and very simple that she could wear all day, everyday, from her family heirloom diamonds.

Every one of the 11 diamond in this stack are a different size and shape, some date back to the Georgian/early Victorian era, and have themselves been remodelled into all nature of brooches, and rings over time.

I designed and made a very simple organic ring stack in 18ct yellow gold, with various widths of ring, each one hand textured and hammered to create a modern treasure.  

“India designed and made a surprise engagement ring for my fiancee.  I had never bought much “serious” jewellery before, I met with India and discussed my requirements and budget.  She made the whole process enjoyable, easy and answered all my questions patiently and knowledgeably.  Initially India showed me a couple of emeralds and some drawings.  She answered my brief perfectly, and she sent me a serious of photos at each stage of the making of the ring.  I popped the question just before Christmas and she said Yes and she adored the ring.”

“I have bought many pieces from India’s shop, I love her unique style and attention to detail.  On one of my visits – where we drink coffee and gossip – I spied a beautiful pale green emerald cushion on her desk, so we set about designing a ring for the emerald.  India advised me to keep it simple and allow the emerald to sing out, it certainly does that, I LOVE it!”

“It’s always a pleasure to visit India’s shop, it is a wonderfully warm, informal and friendly space.  I have bought several bespoke and ready to wear pieces from India, and I wear them all the time and I always get lots of compliments.”

“It’s a pleasure to work with India, I trust her approach and sources, and I am confident she will always find just the right ethical stone to start the design process.  She worked a small strand of Persian turquoise into a bracelet and earrings cleverly adding some hand made gold beads and clasp which complimented the turquoise perfectly.  I love the fact that her jewellery has colour and integrity and uses Fairtrade gold.  I have a very busy schedule and I never feel pressured to make quick decisions, she works to my schedule.”

“Commissioned for his wife’s birthday and hung on her favourite gold chain, this captivating labradorite triangle is a stunning blue and gold, framed in 18k Fairtrade gold. This piece of labradorite originated from Canada’s Labrador Coast, the more vivid the blue, the finer the quality of stone. It was difficult to give this piece up.” - India Mahon.

“I adore India’s designs, I spent many happy hours in India’s shop and was very sad to see her disappear up north. I have commissioned India to make three or four pieces for me as well as buying lots of beautiful pieces from her shop. I always get lots of compliments when I wear India’s jewellery.”

“India’s delicacy of design, eye for special detail, & unusual stones, sets her jewellery apart. It has an elegance which appeals to every age group.”

“I wanted a very special ring creating that I could wear every day, using the gold and diamond jewellery left to me by my father.  India chose these ten tiny marquise and oval diamonds from over forty native South African diamonds she salvaged from my heirloom jewellery. I adore the ring she created I wear it every day. I enjoyed working with India, she listened and interpreted my dream perfectly. Our time together was a mix of fun and chatter and the business of creating a piece of jewellery I can enjoy and pass onto my own daughter.”

“I love India Mahon jewellery for its exquisite style and timeless simplicity and all this with truly ethical values. Her bespoke service was a perfectly tailored experience that really captured my perfect piece. Just beautiful.”

“This was a stunning tiara brought in by a very special client. It had spent many years in its original leather box and my brief was to repair the tiara in time for her nephew’s wedding. This family heirloom was 18k yellow gold with a top layer of silver that was typical of the style of the day. I hunted down and replaced the missing old cut diamonds, cleaned and polished the tiara and made a new headband style setting. This really was a labour of love. The bride came into the shop to be shown how to fit and wear the tiara. I later heard that the tiara and the wedding were a great success.” - India Mahon.

“India remodelled an inherited diamond, sapphire and platinum Art Deco brooch into a contemporary everyday wearable ring. Her design is simple, unfussy, and accentuates the curves of the 2ct marquise diamond. I love it. India was a pleasure to work with. Always patient, she answered my questions in an easy to understand and friendly professional manner. I felt complete confidence in India’s knowledge and guidance, she has an amazing attention to detail. I liked and trusted her design signature and she progressed the design and production of the ring at a pace that suited me. What an incredible journey, I am delighted with the result and wear it all the time.”

“India made a necklace to celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary. She took her inspiration from my aquamarine and diamond engagement ring. I really enjoyed the experience. She expertly guided me through a fantastic selection of aquamarine faceted pear drops and brilliant cut diamonds of various grades and colours. She made various lengths of different styles of chain to ensure we got the perfect neckline. I instantly loved the result, a classic deep blue aquamarine faceted pear drop with a cluster of brilliant cut diamonds set very simply in white gold on a fine chain.”
