Some retail experiences are genuinely special. A trip to Vashi feels like an adventure; there's a sense of wonder to the whole experience, where not only is the artisanry of creating fine jewellery brought to the fore, but you’re invited to join in the action too.

Take Vashi’s flagship store in Covent Garden. Here, the magic begins before you’ve even entered. Browse the Piazza and you’ll witness its makers stationed in the windows. In the heart of Theatreland, they undertake their skilled craftsmanship live for all to see. Unlike the opaque frontages of Bond Street, the Vashi approach is quite literally transparent.

Open the glass doors, and a bright modern space awaits, more akin to a Scandi Michelin-starred restaurant than a stuffy jewellers. Head to the bar downstairs, enjoy a drink – soft or otherwise – while you can discuss your design specifications. In the immersive store, you’ll witness every stage of production, from 3D printing to casting, setting and real-time engraving.

This isn’t a purchase so much as a journey, and one you will share with both the Vashi team and your loved one. Personalise, customise, or even co-create something entirely bespoke – your imagination is the only limit.

You can arrive at Vashi with one idea, lots of ideas, or no idea; and the team will guide you through the creative process until you end up with the jewellery of your dreams – and beyond. You’re even invited to cut your teeth at the workbench and help co-create the final piece. Engrave a message that someone will read every day; hark back to a memory shared by only the two of you; or add a precious stone with a hidden meaning – all these touches bring added richness to the finished item.

Naturally, if you need some inspiration, the Vashi team has already designed and curated a number of core collections designed for every occasion and taste. The Made with Love collection plays with the knot motif, symbolising strength as well as good luck. Or if you’re after something simple, the Foundations collection could be a perfect match. The Lovestrike collection – inspired by sound waves and heartbeats – has as much impact as you’d expect; think, sculptural hoop earrings, stacking rings, bracelets, and necklaces with a distinctive rippled silhouette. The Lumina collection is all about the dawn of a new day – and perhaps a new relationship? And then there’s the aptly named Connections collection – intentionally understated and ready to make personal with a message, date, or your own handwriting. It’s the perfect blank canvas on which to mark the connections in your life.

Vashi – engaged couple

The entire experience can be documented in your personalised Love Story, a complimentary keepsake book. Everybody knows that the journey is as important as the destination – and thanks to Vashi, you’ll keep a memory of yours.

Buying a piece of jewellery with Vashi is not only a personal investment but an emotional one. You’re not just giving a gift with Vashi, you’re telling a story – cherishing memories and creating some new ones, too.
