The business

A London jewellery brand selling fine and lab-grown diamond pieces — chains, rings, bracelets, pendants and commissions — direct to customers online. Built and run by Faris over roughly seven years.

The challenge

Selling four-figure jewellery to people who have never held it. Every part of the journey has to carry the weight: the photography, the product page, the delivery promise, the tone of the follow-up after someone spends three thousand pounds with a brand they found on their phone.

What we built and operated

  • — Shopify storefront and product architecture
  • — The full journey from advert to delivery
  • — Meta acquisition and creative
  • — Email and lifecycle
  • — Sourcing and manufacturing relationships
  • — Drop planning and merchandising
  • — Customer service and after-sales

Selected details

  • — Price points from £10 accessories to £5,000+ pieces
  • — Made-to-order and ready-to-ship in one catalogue
  • — Platinum 950 and 14k gold, lab-grown stones
  • — Drop-based release structure

What we learned

At high price points conversion is mostly reassurance. Most of the work is not persuasion — it is removing reasons to hesitate, one at a time, until buying feels like the obvious thing to do.

Where it applies

Any business selling something expensive to someone who cannot touch it first: jewellers, watch dealers, furniture and interiors, automotive, high-ticket clinics, property.

Studio Bite

Built & operated Custom grillz · Appointment-led · London studio-bite.com

The business

A London studio creating distinctive custom grillz and building a community around jewellery, self-expression and culture. Appointment-led, fitted in person, priced and presented as jewellery rather than novelty.

The challenge

The product is custom and the conversion event is a booking, not a checkout. The website has to sell craft and confidence, then get someone to physically turn up at a specific time on a specific day.

What we built and operated

  • — Website and ecommerce build
  • — Enquiry and booking journey
  • — Brand presentation and art direction
  • — Content and social
  • — The path from social interest to a booked appointment

Selected details

  • — Consultation-led model
  • — Custom fitting, in person
  • — Physical studio in London

What we learned

When the conversion event is an appointment, the website’s job is not persuasion. It is removing doubt about what happens when you arrive — who you meet, how long it takes, what it costs, what you walk out with.

Where it applies

Clinics, dealerships, showrooms, private practices, interiors studios — anywhere the sale happens in a room and the website only has to get someone into it.

Soniq Labs

Built & operated Consumer technology · Jewellery care · UK soniqlabs.co.uk

The business

A consumer technology brand developing modern jewellery-care products, beginning with ultrasonic cleaning technology that brings professional-level jewellery cleaning into the home. Launched from scratch and sold direct in the UK.

The challenge

Launching a physical product with no audience, no trading history and no forgiveness in the margins. The product has to be explained before it can be wanted — demonstration, education and direct-response creative all have to work from day one, and nothing has data behind it yet.

What we built and operated

  • — Ecommerce build and launch
  • — Paid acquisition
  • — Creative system and production structure
  • — Lifecycle and email infrastructure
  • — The operations of getting a physical product to a customer

Selected details

  • — Ultrasonic jewellery cleaning for the home
  • — Direct to consumer, United Kingdom
  • — Built from launch rather than inherited

What we learned

A new physical product does not have a traffic problem on day one. It has an explanation problem. Until someone can tell you what it is and why it is worth the money in a single sentence, more spend only buys a faster answer to the wrong question.

Where it applies

Any launch: a new product line inside an established company, a new market, a new format, a business bringing something offline online for the first time.
