Fifty years,
one bench.
Founded in 1975, and still run by the family alongside an expert team of designers and makers. Jewellery is designed and made by hand in our studio and workshop in Diss on the Norfolk–Suffolk border. The team specialise in bespoke commissions, restorations, repairs and creating curated collections of beautiful pieces from our retail shop. We work with customers from across East Anglia not just from Diss and Harleston to Eye and the surrounding villages, but to the further reaches of the UK.
1975
Fifty years
A haven for designers and makers
It began in 1975 with a single bench in Diss, and the idea that a well-made piece should outlast its maker. Fifty years on, the team is stronger, more diverse but rooted in the values of care for our clients and the jewellery we produce.
Most of the work happens here. Design, making, stone-setting, repairs and restoration are done at our own benches above the shop, so when you bring us a commission or a treasured piece, you speak directly to the person working on it. Where a piece needs a specialist stage such as casting, enamelling or fine setting, we entrust it to specialists we have worked with for years.
We still finish every piece by hand. It’s meticulous work but we prefer it that way: the process of hand-finishing gives jewellery a character no machine could, which is why so many of our pieces are treasured generations later.
Made by hand
Designed and finished at our own bench, with methods refined over fifty years. Heirloom quality, built to be worn for a lifetime and handed on.
Kinder materials
We share the concerns of our clients and seek to use recycled gold, ethically sourced and reclaimed stones wherever feasible. Hence heirlooms are regularly remade – the same metal, without the mining.
Always part of it
Clear, supportive advice with no obligation. Keeping in touch means we can offer you a free annual check-up on anything we make. You’re always part of the workshop.
The hands behind
every piece.

You might meet the: Hatton Garden-trained goldsmiths, our lead designer, our brilliant restorer, a gemmologist, the valuer…
