pearl jewellery made in our workshops

To guarantee quality all jewellery is made in our West Wales workshops using traditional skills, materials and genuine cultured pearls.

Top grade pearls are backed by a Certificate of Authenticity, signed and stamped by a specialist UK pearl graduate of the Gemological Institute of America (London) - the world's foremost authority.

Making our jewellery - a 3 minute

It takes a bit longer and costs a little more, but we think the end result is worth it - and so do our customers.

It's a shame to spoil a nice set of pearls with a cheap box so there's no skimping on presentation. Pearls are presented in polished, sustainable wood cases or lined jewellery boxes. None of your 'luxury cardboard' nonsense.

Free, insured, UK delivery is within 4 working days from order. To ensure confidentiality, all orders are sent in plain packages with no indication of the contents or the sender on the outside of the package

For your protection our customer terms exceed EU directives and UK legislation. Purchases (except vouchers) may be returned up to 30 days from delivery.

Our aftercare service will help keep your pearls in tip-top condition. If they need restringing or repairing, we're ready.

What makes you different?
Ask any online jewellery retailer that question and they'll rattle on about price, quality, customer service etc. Here's a statistic. The average returned order rate in the sector is 8 in 100 orders, sometimes as high as 20 in 100 orders. Ours (excluding exchanges) is 1 in 200 orders.

And, if you decide to buy from us we won't....

make you open an account so we can hoard your details
pester you to sign up for our newsletter
harass you for feedback about our products/service
stalk you around the web with unwanted adverts (spooky!)
email you 'special offers' twice a day
sell your address to third parties

...because we hate all that stuff too!
