At Sophia Perez Jewellery, every piece begins long before it reaches your hands. It starts with a promise: to honour beauty without compromise, and to trace every sparkle back to its story.
Today, we’re inviting you behind the scenes - on a global journey that follows a single gemstone from its origin to the final moment it’s set in a one-of-a-kind SPJ piece. Whether it’s a responsibly sourced natural sapphire or a lab-grown diamond, each stone holds a world within it. And we believe you deserve to know that world.
Ethical Origins
Our natural stones are sourced through trusted partners who adhere to rigorous ethical and environmental standards. From Sri Lankan sapphires to Zambian emeralds, we only work with suppliers who prioritise safe working conditions, fair wages, and sustainable mining practices. For lab-grown diamonds, we work with certified labs that mirror nature’s process using clean energy wherever possible.
The Art of Cutting
Once sourced, the rough stone travels to expert cutters - often in heritage hubs like Antwerp, Jaipur or Tel Aviv - where generations of craftsmanship meet modern precision. Every facet is a decision, every cut a celebration of the stone’s inner character. We work closely with our partners to retain the soul of the gem, rather than chasing trend-driven shapes.
Shipped with Care
Each gem makes its way to our London studio via fully insured, responsible couriers - often accompanied by certification and full provenance documentation. Transparency matters, and we keep records so your piece comes with peace of mind.
Designed Around You
Here’s where magic meets meaning. Every SPJ design begins with your story - your preferences, your milestones, your future heirloom. We sketch, prototype and refine with intention, ensuring the chosen stone sits not just beautifully, but meaningfully.
Handcrafted in London
Finally, the gem is set by our skilled bench jewellers in our London studio. Every claw, curve and polish is finished by hand. We don’t mass-produce, and we never rush. Your ring is made to last generations - and to carry the energy of everyone who’s touched it along the way.
That’s the SPJ way.
