WHERE IS YOUR JEWELLERY MADE?
All of our jewellery is made from start to finish in the United Kingdom. We have a workshop located in Hatton Garden, London's historic jewellery quarter.
IS YOUR JEWELLERY ETHICAL?
All of the metal we use in our jewellery is recycled, we do not use any new mined metals except FairTrade, which can be requested for a small premium (which we do not profit from).
All of our stones are conflict-free and we work with many suppliers globally who all ensure this. All of our diamonds are sourced in accordance with the Kimberley Process, and we are able to provide the origin of the majority of our sapphires and other gemstones. Read more about our responsible jewellery approach here.
We also offer lab-grown diamonds as an alternative to natural mined diamonds.
CAN YOU USE MY HEIRLOOM JEWELLERY, GEMSTONES OR GOLD IN A NEW PIECE?
Yes, we can use heirloom jewellery in good condition. We will need to see the jewellery to assess the quality of the metal and gemstones and if it is possible.
I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT A STONE - ARE YOU ABLE TO WORK WITH IT?
Other than heirloom jewellery, we only work with stones that we have sourced ourselves to guarantee their origins and grading/certification.
HOW DO I GET A QUOTE?
