Jesper Velling, award-winning jewellery maker and goldsmith,
worked in Hatton Garden before setting up his own jewellery shop
in Canterbury. Making bespoke, special pieces for his customers is
what makes him smile, and he feels that being a goldsmith is a
privilege rather than a simple profession. Commissions are welcome,
and Jesper offers a consultation service to ascertain exactly what it
is you want from the jewellery he will make for you. With his passion
for what he does evident, cufflinks, ring, earrings, and much, much
more are available from this Kent-based jeweller. When you are looking for something completely different, Lucy
Alice Designs of Folkestone could well be the place to start (and
finish). Instead of metal and stones, Lucy Alice Designs uses sustainably
sourced and reclaimed materials, especially wood, to create the
wonderful pieces of jewellery available here. Everything is inspired
by nature and living on the Kent coast has given Lucy plenty of
ideas. Using age-old techniques (such as embroidery and inlay) to
create modern designs, Lucy can offer some truly striking and eye-
catching pieces.
