Our Workshop
All of the stages involved in the making of jewellery, from design through working of raw precious metals onwards, are carried out by our jewellers at our workshop.

The jeweller's bench is the hub of production.
Traditionally the half-circle recess gives access to a wide working area with a "bench pin" at its centre. The wooden pin supports work in hand and each craftsperson will customise his or her pin to suit individual working styles. Jewellery is primarily made by piercing out metal.
Heat is often used to soften metal, or anneal, and to join components together, or solder. The metal work-piece is laid on a charcoal block which absorbs the torch flame. A soft, fine flame is used for most jobs.
Precious metals can be punched into almost any shape. A doming-block with graded semi-spherical holes is used to punch a flat into a dome.
Precise soldering is the forte of an experienced jeweller. Solder is an alloy with a lower melting point than that of the metal being joined, but must be matched to the metal. Some pieces require many soldering stages.
Polishing requires great patience and dexterity. A detailed piece can take many hours of polishing to achieve a high mirror-finish. Different gauges of mop are used with jeweller's rouge to remove all marks and scratches.
