Award-Winning Jewellery Design & Repair in Margate
Established over 30 years ago, Warne William has built a reputation as a distinguished independent jeweller in Cliftonville, Margate. Our expertise spans bespoke jewellery design, vintage piece restoration, and professional repair services, all rooted in traditional craftsmanship. Collaborating with renowned interior designer Victoria Hill, we created a boutique that harmoniously blends heritage features with contemporary elegance, reflecting our philosophy of merging old and new. Our remodelling service allows clients to repurpose heirlooms into modern wearable art, catering to ethical preferences by reusing existing materials. Recognised through multiple awards, including the Goldsmiths' Craft Council accolades, our work combines technical precision with artistic vision. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in our on-site workshop using time-honoured techniques, ensuring every creation carries the mark of authentic artistry.

We maintain a curated collection of vintage jewellery alongside our own designs, offering clients diverse options for personal expression. Our commitment to individualised service ensures every client receives dedicated attention, fostering long-term relationships built on trust and shared appreciation for fine jewellery. The inclusion of our name in Hornby's model railway range underscores our cultural impact beyond traditional jewellery circles. Operating from a redesigned space prioritising comfort and safety, we continue to serve local, national, and international clientele with the same passion that earned us recognition since the 1990s.
