Craft

Hand engraving is our main discipline. Stone setting, enamel and casting extend what we can do with it.

Hand engraving

A graver leaves clean facets in the metal. Those facets reflect light in slightly different directions, which gives hand-cut work its depth and movement.

Our craftsmen have more than a decade of experience, and we can make moulds. Our own experience is that a moulded surface looks flatter, so we recommend hand engraving wherever the design relies on the light in the metal.

Stone setting

Stone setting

We set stones within engraved frames and enamelled forms, as in the round frame and polychrome bail shown here.

Tell us the stones, sizes and positions in your brief, and the bench will confirm the approach during review.

Enamel

Enamel

We work in fired enamel and cold enamel, in a wide range of colours.

The two behave differently, so we will discuss which suits your design, wear and budget during review.

Working from your files

We accept CAD and Rhino files. We can 3D-print moulds and cast from them, which helps when a project needs a repeatable form.

Plating and polishing

We have more than a decade of experience in plating and polishing, including gold plating on silver.

Send a drawing or a CAD file. The bench reviews it first, and any quote follows from that review.
