About
With a combination of state of the art technology and traditional jewellery making techniques, we will create a unique piece of jewellery suited to your personal style and budget however extravagant or modest it may be.
The final design file is then emailed to a casting company in London who will first grow a wax model of the piece. This is then cast in the material of your choice, and returned to me in a raw state. The casting is then cleaned up and each individual diamond is set and finished by hand to the highest standard. Our Specialist on site gemsetter has more than ten years bench experience and has carried out work for the some of the finest jewellers from Cardiff, Manchester, Leeds and London.

He then spent five years working for one of the UK’s largest jewellery manufacturers, developing goldsmith’s skills before specialising in gem setting.
