Custom Shape Studio

Your vision, your shape.

Signature cuts, one-off silhouettes and shapes that don't have a name yet — planned, cut and polished on our own wheels.

Beyond the library

If it can be drawn, it can be cut.

We hold 29 cuts as standard. Everything else — a house shape for a brand, a portrait cut, an animal, a logo rendered in facets — is a commission, and commissions are most of what our senior cutters do.

The limit isn’t the drawing. It’s the rough: an unusual silhouette can cost you half the weight of the stone. We’ll tell you that number before you spend anything.

How a commission runs

Sketch to certified stone.

  1. 01

    Send a reference

    A sketch on paper, a photograph, a CAD file, a competitor's stone — anything that shows the silhouette you're after.

  2. 02

    Feasibility & yield

    We model the shape against real rough and tell you honestly what it costs in yield. Some silhouettes waste half the stone; you should know that before you commit.

  3. 03

    Planning & mapping

    The chosen rough is 3D-scanned and the cut mapped for maximum return, clarity and symmetry.

  4. 04

    Cutting & polishing

    Bruted, blocked and brillianteered by hand on our own wheels. Bespoke silhouettes are cut by our senior cutters, not the production line.

  5. 05

    Grading & delivery

    Checked in our lab, certified independently if you want it, and shipped insured door to door.

Before you ask

The usual questions.

  • Is there a minimum?A single stone is fine for a signature or exhibition piece. For a repeatable branded cut we'd usually talk about a run.
  • Can you protect the shape?Yes. Bespoke silhouettes cut for a client are not offered to anyone else, and we'll sign to that effect.
  • Natural or lab-grown?Either. Lab-grown is often the sensible route for an unusual silhouette, because the yield loss costs you far less.
  • How long does it take?Two to five weeks depending on the shape and the rough, from sign-off to a finished, graded stone.

Send the reference and we’ll come back with feasibility, yield and a price.
