The Workshop

Services

Eight disciplines,
one invoice

The operational menu in full. Take all of it or take the one piece you are missing — most accounts start with sampling and grow from there.

Design & CAD development

Sketch to production-ready CAD, with stone plots, weight estimates and turntable renders for sign-off.

  • Hand sketch interpretation
  • Parametric CAD in Matrix and Rhino
  • Photoreal turntable renders
  • Stone plot and setting layout
  • Metal weight and cost modelling
  • Full size and gauge ranging

Sampling & prototyping

A first article finished to production standard, so approval means something. Iterations quoted flat, not per revision.

  • Resin printing and wax cutting
  • Single-piece casting
  • Fully finished first article
  • Fit, comfort and wear assessment
  • Photography for your line sheet
  • Approved sample retained as the reference

Gemstone sourcing & matching

Calibrated parcels matched across a run, or a single exceptional stone found and negotiated on your behalf.

  • 250+ varieties held in-house
  • Calibrated and free-size
  • Colour and cut matching across runs
  • Certification arranged where it qualifies
  • Substitute stone equivalents costed
  • Lapidary recutting on site

Production manufacturing

Runs from one to twenty thousand, batched by operation so the last piece matches the first.

  • Lost-wax casting in-house
  • Hand setting: prong, bezel, pavé, channel
  • Chain and findings manufacture
  • Assembly and soldering
  • Laser welding and repair
  • Batch consistency control

Plating & surface finishing

Stated micron thickness, verified by measurement. High polish through heavy sandblast and everything between.

  • Rhodium, ruthenium, yellow, rose
  • Vermeil to a genuine 2.5 micron floor
  • Nickel-free base plating
  • Matte, satin, brushed, hammered, sandblast
  • Antique and oxidised finishes
  • Thickness verification on every batch

Private label & branding

Everything that makes the piece yours rather than ours, applied at the right stage of production.

  • Laser and hand engraving
  • Inner-shank logo stamping
  • Custom hallmark registration
  • Branded pouches, boxes and outers
  • Care cards and authenticity papers
  • Barcode and SKU labelling to your scheme

Quality assurance

Six gates, documented, with photographs at each. Independent of the production supervisor by design.

  • Ten-power loupe inspection
  • Weight and dimension verification
  • Stone security and setting torque
  • Plating thickness measurement
  • Nickel release and REACH testing
  • Full photographic gate record

Export & logistics

Consolidated, insured and documented. The paperwork is our problem, not yours.

  • Assay-office hallmarking
  • Customs and duty documentation
  • Insured bonded courier
  • Consolidated season shipping
  • Certificates travelling with goods
  • Landed cost quoted upfront

Working terms

Terms before flourishes

The things a production partner should be able to state plainly, stated plainly.

No minimum order

A single sample and a thousand-piece run are quoted on the same terms. Nothing is gatekept behind volume.

Made only to order

Nothing is made speculatively. Every piece is customized to the person it is for, from design and stones through to engraving.

250+ stone varieties

A working stone library held in-house, so a substitution is answered the same afternoon, not the next month.

Assured at every gate

Six signed inspection points between wax and packing.

Shipped worldwide

Consolidated, insured and documented to twenty-six markets.

Responsibly made

Recycled metal by default and audited stone channels.

Certified materials

Assayed alloys and lab reports travelling with the parcel.

Costed in the open

Metal, stone, labour and finishing broken out in full.
