JEWELLERY & WATCHES
AWARD-WINNING CRAFTSMANSHIP
Justin ’ s inspiration for the Octavo range came from the heyday of the British automotive industry and its classic dashboard instrumentation , and as such the watches are opulent and expressive , advancing British watch design in this smart age and recognising that watches are worn as pieces of jewellery as much as instruments for telling the time .
At the heart of every custom-made piece is the design . Justin combines craftsmanship with his passion for design to create dramatic and beautiful fine jewellery .
The start of the process is to sit down together , discuss and bounce ideas , until a firm brief is established . From there we will meticulously hand paint a series of options from which to choose .
The final design chosen will remain exclusive to you , as commissioned designs are never repeated .
Based in the heart of the historic cathedral city of Canterbury , Justin Richardson and his team of master craftsmen create some of the country ’ s most exclusive and inspiring jewellery and silverware . From the purpose-built workshop at the rear of the gallery , He designs and creates beautiful and bespoke pieces , varying from classic engagement and wedding rings , to unique custom-made cocktail jewellery and dress watches . Justin ’ s team of experienced craftsmen have won numerous awards for their world-class design and craftsmanship . These include awards by the prestigious Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths Craft & Design Council , ‘ The Jewellery Oscars ’. Justin himself also won the ‘ New Designer of the Year ’ award shortly after completing his training .
So why compromise , let us custom make something unique and special for you or your loved one .
