What we do
Design and make all forms of jewellery using the wide variety of natural Purbeck stone
Purbeck is known for its stone, primarily used as building material, including in many of the UK's most significant cathedrals and churches e.g. Westminster Abbey, Exeter, Salisbury and Winchester Cathedrals etc, but we've added a further dimension to its use - beautiful, stylish, bespoke jewellery. See the Examples page for samples of our work.
The Purbeck stone is not modern... having formed around 150 million year ago, when a range of life-forms existed, from large Dinosaurs to small snails. Hence it has a story, and visual clues..... creating a look and style that is rather special and unique....

As you will see from the sub-titles at the top of this page, currently there are only 2 pages to this site, this home page, and an examples page - for the ladies, one for the men to follow shortly. The examples page contains photos of the current range of products, but we are open to any customised requirements. Commissions, with specific requirements or designs, are welcome.
