Palladium & 18ct gold Diamond Ring

The Croft Workshops make jewellery from Platinum, Palladium, Gold and Silver, and have a wide range of precious and semi-precious stones available for you to choose from.

Platinum & Diamond Ring Set

The Design Process can be as detailed or as swift as you prefer, our designs are drawn with the customer present and perfected until the design meets your requirements. Only once a design and price are agreed on does a deposit need to be paid.

The Last Solder

Then the materials are ordered in for the piece, and shortly after the Goldsmith crafts the raw materials into your unique jewellery item! in cases where you may be unfamiliar with different grades or styles of stones, the Goldsmith will order a variety of stones from the Merchants so you can inspect them before they are set into your jewellery.

Sol Game

The Goldsmith works not only with jewellery, but also with ornamental objects, look at this Miniature Solitaire game in sterling silver and onyx beads with hand made silver tweezers for handling the beads.
