In The Workshop

We can create your own Hand Engraved Family Crest image onto our range of handmade sterling silver cufflinks. Using years of experience and skill Peter can carve out your family crest entirely by hand using traditional engraving methods. Peter puts a great deal of attention to detail into every family crest.  Three dimensional images are created by cutting out every single line, creating angles, depth and shading, adding fine detail to the exquisite miniature work of art.    

Peter had the pleasure of hand engraving this 8.5" sterling silver salver with a Coat of Arms for a member of the House of Lords. This Coat of Arms was hand engraved approximately 4.5" wide onto the front of the silver salver. Working from an image, Peter deeply cut out the outline by hand and then spent many hours adding all of the fine shading and detail which makes the whole thing come to life. Peter has a vast knowledge and experience in hand engraving and also studied Heraldry.  Over the years he has engraved many items ranging from gold and silver cufflinks to salvers, cutlery, jugs, candlesticks, fine silverware and many more with customers crests and coat of arms.

Peter has been Hand Engraving for over 35 years, yes I know that makes him sound really old, but experience = quality   3. We have a massive passion for keeping the traditional skill alive, when you compare computerised engraving to traditional hand engraving there is no comparison.   4. Don't confuse engraving with a dremel as traditional hand engraving, the dremel does not deeply cut out like the hand held gravers that Peter uses. The cuts that he does with the gravers are very neat precise lines, every cut is controlled....

Handmade Silver Cuff Bracelets All of our handmade silver cuff bracelets  are all handcrafted in our workshop. A lot of time goes into the making process of each and every cuff bracelet. The making process We know what thickness sterling silver to use with the width of the cuff bracelet to give strength and to ensure that you have a nice sturdy bracelet.   The silver is annealed (heated up to soften it, so that we can hammer it into shape), if not annealed the silver would keep springing back when trying to shape.   The edges are filed into shape (there are no sharp edges) the whole of the bracelet is then filed and buffed to a smooth finish (even the outside edges).   The bracelet is then hammered into...
