Every piece made in house
One bench,
forty-seven years.
Edmund Penhallow opened this shop after twelve years at a findings factory down the street. His bench still sits by the window. We added a laser welder, a setting microscope and a CAD station, and kept the rest.

Services.
Engagement rings, wedding bands, custom work, repairs, appraisals and loose diamonds, handled at one counter by the people who do the work.
Six weeks,
from sketch to finger.
A custom ring takes about six weeks from the first sketch to pickup. Have a proposal date in mind? Tell us at the consultation and we plan backwards from it.
Wk 1
Consultation
Look at stones under the loupe, talk through budget and start a sketch.
Wk 2
Sketch and CAD
Hand sketches first, then a 3D model you can turn on screen.
Wk 3
Wax fitting
Try a wax copy of your ring on before any metal is poured.
In house
Wk 4
Casting
Recycled gold or platinum, poured at our own bench, never sent out.
Wk 5
Setting and polish
Stones set under the microscope, then a final polish and inspection.
Wk 6
Pickup
We check the fit on your finger, clean it and hand over the appraisal.
The consultation.
Bring photos, a budget and any stones you already own. We compare natural and lab-grown diamonds side by side under the loupe and sketch while we talk. Free, with no pressure to decide that day.
Free, by appointment
Thursdays until 8 PM
