How Jewellery Is Made

Between a gemstone and a finished piece of jewellery lies a long sequence of careful, largely unseen work.

Between a gemstone and a finished piece of jewellery lies a long sequence of careful, largely unseen work.

A design begins as a sketch, then a wax model, carved by hand to test proportion and scale before a single gram of metal is cast. Once cast, the piece is filed, polished, and prepared to receive its stones - each one set individually, by hand, under magnification.

The final polish can take as long as the setting itself. It is this unhurried, layered process - not any single step - that separates a considered piece of jewellery from one simply assembled.

Every remarkable gemstone carries a story. We would be honoured to help you discover the one that becomes part of yours.
