New this week

This is the first in a running series. Each edition covers a small handful of pieces that have just finished the full process, sourcing, gemological review, the bench, and photography, and have gone live on the site in the past week.

We do not list everything we buy at once. Pieces move through the workshop at different speeds depending on what they need, and we would rather release a small, considered group each week than hold a large batch back and release it all at once. It also means the shop keeps changing in ways worth checking back for.

Selection for these weekly notes is simple: we choose pieces that our gemologist and workshop team found genuinely interesting to work on, whether because of an unusual hallmark, a construction detail worth explaining, or a stone cut in a style that has become harder to find. Nothing is featured here for being expensive or rare on its own; it needs a story we can actually stand behind.

A typical week might bring in an Edwardian pendant with a legible assay mark, a pair of Retro era earrings that needed only a clasp repair, and a hand fabricated bangle with a maker's mark we were able to trace. Some weeks bring more rings, others more brooches or bracelets, depending simply on what came through the door.

Every piece mentioned in this series has already been through metal testing, gemological examination and a bench review before it appears here, in the same way as everything else in the shop. We are not previewing unfinished work; we are pointing out what has just finished.

If something catches your eye, we would rather you see it properly before deciding. Every new listing can be viewed on a private video call with one of our specialists, in daylight, from whatever angle you want to see. It is a better way to judge an antique piece than any set of photographs, however careful.

We will keep this format going for as long as it is useful. If you want to see pieces the week they go live rather than after, the fastest way is to book a viewing slot and ask what has just come in; our team can walk you through the newest arrivals directly.

Expect the next edition to follow the same shape: a short note on what came in, why it interested us, and an open door to look closer.
