Services
Bespoke Engagement Rings
We design and craft unique engagement rings tailored to individual stories and preferences. Using silver, gold, or platinum, our process combines hand-carving and CAD technology to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Clients receive regular design updates and photographs throughout production, ensuring transparency and satisfaction. Our service includes sourcing ethically obtained diamonds and gemstones with GIA certification options.
Jewellery-Making Workshops
Our Bristol studio offers hands-on workshops for all skill levels, from beginners to professional jewellers. Courses include wax carving, laser welding, and ring-making, with small class sizes ensuring personalised guidance. Participants create wearable pieces while learning traditional techniques and modern technologies in a supportive rural setting near Cribbs Causeway.
Laser Welding Services
We provide advanced laser welding for jewellery repairs requiring precision around stones or delicate components. This technology enables non-invasive repairs to chains, rings, and vintage pieces without compromising structural integrity. Our workshop houses Dado laser equipment for tasks like porosity repair, jump ring securing, and watch component restoration.
Custom Wedding Bands
Our bespoke wedding bands are crafted to complement existing engagement rings or stand alone as minimalist designs. Available in precious metals, we offer shaped-to-fit options and intricate detailing using traditional forging and computer-aided manufacturing. Clients receive a 50% deposit option with final payments upon completion.
Jewellery Remodelling
We transform heirloom or unused jewellery into contemporary pieces while preserving sentimental value. This service includes redesign consultations, material analysis, and CAD visualisations before remaking items using ethical metals and stones. Our process ensures structural integrity while updating designs for modern wearability.
