Crafting Jewellery That Tells Your Story
It went from designing my best friend’s engagement ring to crafting bespoke rings for thousands of clients, including A-list celebrities.
I’m Michael,
I'm a gemologist, designer, and founder of Michael Isaac Bespoke, based in York, North Yorkshire.
For over 15 years, I’ve crafted one-of-kind engagement rings for those who refuse to settle for the ordinary. As a former head diamond buyer for some of the UK’s top jewellers, I’ve worked one-to-one with over 1,000 clients, trained with the GIA, and even created exclusive designs for A-list celebrities.
But my journey began long before I built my name in the industry.
(MY STORY)
From York To The World
It all started with one request from my best friend, Jack. He was ready to propose and wanted a ring that truly meant something. Not just a beautiful ring, but one that told their story. As a gemologist and senior diamond buyer, I thought it would be simple. But I quickly realised two things:
1. Everything Looked Generic
Jack wanted a ring that was deeply personal, yet everything available felt mass-produced and uninspired.
2. Overwhelming Process
Bespoke jewellery seemed unnecessarily complex, expensive, and filled with uncertainty.
Determined to create something better, I teamed up with my old colleague Phil, a former Bond Street craftsman. Together, we designed a ring that was not just unique and exceptionally crafted, but something deeply meaningful. Something that had the all important 'wow' factor.
When I handed Jack the ring, he just stared at it. Silent. Then, he turned it over in his hands, his eyes shining. “This is exactly what I imagined, but better.”
At that moment, I knew. Most guys don’t just want a ring. They want certainty. They want to know that when they open that box, their partner’s eyes will light up with joy.
And so, Michael Isaac Bespoke was born, to make custom jewellery effortless, deeply personal, and truly unforgettable.
(MY MISSION)
At Michael Isaac Bespoke, I help clients celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with jewellery that reflects their individuality. Every piece is guided by four core values:

(HOW I WORK)
MY THREE STEP PROCESS
(STEP ONE)
DISCOVERY & DESIGN
We start with a relaxed, one-to-one chat. No sales pitch, just a chance to explore your story and what the perfect ring could look like. Once we’ve uncovered your vision, I’ll help you choose the perfect stone and design your ring in 3D, with the option for a life-size wax model before it’s made.
(STEP TWO)
THE BUILD
Once you approve the design, your ring is brought to life in my York workshop. Every detail is handcrafted using time-honoured techniques and the finest materials. You’ll receive personal video and picture updates as it takes shape. A journey built on care, precision, and purpose.
(STEP THREE)
THE REVEAL
When your ring is complete, I’ll send you a private video so you can see every detail before it leaves my workshop. You can collect it from my York studio or a private design suite, or I can arrange secure delivery to your door. Each ring is beautifully boxed with certification, a valuation and a lifetime warranty.
