With over 40 years of craftsmanship behind us, our team blends sustainable practices with a personal touch to make the process as joyful as the final piece. Let’s walk you through how we create your dream jewellery, and maybe inspire you to start your own journey. Ready to chat? Book a consultation with us!

How We Bring Your Vision to Life

It all begins with a conversation. Swing by our Poynton studio any time for a friendly chat—no need to book—or schedule a consultation in-person or online to dive into your ideas. Whether you’ve got a clear vision for a bespoke pendant or want to reimagine an old wedding ring into something new, our designers are here to listen. Bring along sketches, photos, or even that old piece of jewellery tucked away in a drawer, and we’ll brainstorm together.

We use fancy Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to create a 3D model of your piece, so you can see exactly how your engagement ring or eternity ring will look. It’s like a sneak peek of the real thing! We’ll tweak it together until it’s spot-on, making sure every detail feels right and tells your story.

Materials: Meaningful and Sustainable

Once we’ve nailed the design, it’s time to pick the materials. You can choose from 9, 14, 18, or 22-carat yellow, rose, or white gold, or go for platinum—all chosen with the planet in mind. Got some gold from an old pendant or ring you don’t wear anymore? We’ll melt and recast it in-house, giving your jewellery new life while keeping its sentimental value and cutting down on new mining.

For stones, we’ve got you covered. Want to use a gem from a family heirloom? Perfect. Dreaming of a diamond for your engagement ring or a sapphire for a bespoke pendant? We offer lab-grown or natural diamonds and ethically sourced gems like rubies, emeralds, and more. You can even pick your stone through our sourcing service, with options to view in-studio or remotely. Whatever you choose, your piece will shine with quality and heart.

Crafting: Where the Magic Happens

In our Poynton workshop, our jewellers get to work, using techniques like laser welding and hand-finishing to craft your piece with care. Every wedding ring or eternity ring is made in-house, so we know it’s up to our high standards. For trickier designs, we might make a wax or resin model for you to try, ensuring your bespoke pendant or ring fits and feels just right. Before we finish, we’ll do a final check to make sure every stone is secure and every surface gleams.

If you choose to re-use rather than sell, our designers will work with you to create a bespoke piece that honours the story behind your gold. We’ll craft a wax or resin model for you to try before the final piece is made, so you know exactly how it will look and feel.

Delivery and Care: Yours Forever

When your jewellery is ready, we’ll deliver it to your door, beautifully packaged, or you can pop into our studio to pick it up and share the moment with us. We’ll include a care guide to keep your engagement ring or pendant looking its best, with tips on cleaning and storage.

And we’re not done yet! Drop by anytime for free cleaning and polishing to keep your piece sparkling. If it needs a bit more love down the line, our repair and refurbishment services will keep your eternity ring or bespoke jewellery in top shape. We’re here to make sure your creation stays as special as the day you got it.

From competitive gold valuations to bespoke creations crafted in-house, we’re here to ensure your jewellery continues to be worn, loved, and passed down for generations. Visit us in-store or get in touch to start your journey—because your jewellery deserves to shine with purpose.
