Made in House
Unique in Edinburgh, we are proud to design, cast and make all of our jewellery onsite. Our beautiful showroom is at street level, with our modern workshop situated in the basement below. Between our five in-house goldsmiths, we share years and years of experience. Our wealth of expertise, coupled with our highly equipped workshop gives us complete control to create, set, engrave and finish our exquisite jewellery to exacting standards.
Traditional Skills
Traditional goldsmithing skills are fundamental to what we do. Each of our goldsmiths is highly trained in long established methods at the workbench, using centuries old techniques, and traditional tools which would be recognised in a workshop from a century ago (indeed, we hold some antique, well-loved tools in our collection!) These hand skills form a vital foundation from which our work is created, ensuring the quality of each piece we make.
Design
Our esteemed designs vary from refined, modern engagement and wedding rings, to botanical inspired collections, to bold gemstone dress rings and statement pendants and earrings. Our ever evolving stock collections serve to showcase our creativity and passion for design. Each bespoke design begins as a brief sketch, before being brought to life by our in house CAD designers. The beauty of computer aided design is that it enables us to tweak a design multiple times to ensure it is perfect, before utilising our in-house 3D printers to transform each design into reality in resin, for the client to try on, providing an exact prototype of their jewellery.
Accuracy
Attention to detail is integral in our work. Our pursuit of meticulous precision has only grown over the years due to the introduction of microscopes, enabling us to set even the tiniest diamonds with the utmost accuracy. Our jewellery is set, engraved and inspected at intense magnification, allowing for the highest level of detail and outstanding finish.
Diamond & Gem Setting
Our goldsmiths are highly trained and accomplished in all styles of setting including micro-claw, pave and fishtail. Extensive experience in setting diamonds and gemstones with precision, ensures dependable quality and jewellery that will endure for years to come. Having spent years cultivating relationships with trusted UK suppliers, we go above and beyond to source the perfect stones to suit each client.
Hand Engraving
Attention to detail is of the utmost importance to us. Carrying out our hand engraving under a microscope has allowed us to develop outstanding engraving techniques, in particular our signet and deep seal engraving. Our expertise in this area opens up endless possibilities for personalisation, even adding patterns and textures as demonstrated in our brand new stock collections.
3D Printing
Our workshop houses three 3D printers, which not only allow us to accurately print our CAD drawings in wax before casting the models in metal, but also to print design mock ups for each customer free of charge, as part of our bespoke design consultation process.
Casting
In 2018 we began investing in our own casting facility, right within our own workshop here in Edinburgh. We wanted to have complete control of the casting process to, using the highest quality metals and retain autonomy over the alloys we use. This means the finest quality finishes for every piece we make. We are proud to use 100% recycled gold as standard and to offer Fairtrade gold and Single Mine Origin metals. In doing this, we succeeded in improving the finish of our jewellery and consequently provide a superior product for our clients.
The Finish
Every piece of our jewellery is skilfully finished by hand, to the highest standard in our polishing room. Each item is meticulously examined for blemishes, before being polished in the traditional way, using time honoured compounds to ensure the very finest finish. Additionally, these skills allow us to offer a lifetime of care and refinishing, which is greatly appreciated by our clients, whose jewellery can be made to look like new again at no additional cost.
