Please be aware that Thursdays from 24th July will be workshop only days. This means that the shop will be closed as we will be busy completing the many commissions, remodels and repairs we have currently underway. As this is an increasing part of our business we decided to initially trial this for the summer months and will continue to do so until December when we will reopen again on Thursdays. We apologise for any inconvenience and if this causes you significant difficulty we may be able to organise a pre-booked appointment on those days.

A change to our opening days

Birthstone of the month

November has two beautiful birthstones to choose from ~ the colourful topaz and the golden toned citrine. Topaz comes in a whole array of rainbow colours through pink, yellow, blues and purple to the warm pinkish orange of the prized Imperial topaz. Our regular topaz collections feature the vibrant Swiss blue topaz and also the deeper teal coloured London blue topaz. The highest quality stones are found in Brazil with other sources in Mexico, USA, Africa and the far east.

Citrines are a variety of quartz and range from pale yellow to amber brown. It has been a popular gemstone since ancient times, believed to have calming energies and bring good fortune and warmth to the wearer. Top sources for this stone are Bolivia, Spain, Madagascar, Mexico and south America. Citrines are one of the most affordable gemstones so together with topaz there is an extensive range of birthstone jewellery options for those born in November!

Below are some photos of our topaz and citrine collections. More examples can be found on our websiteu
