John’s journey began as a smith, when he worked to restore armour for historic organisations such as the National Trust and Warwick Castle.

John has developed his expertise over the last 50 years on the hammer.

Speaking about the business being named a finalist on the awards, David said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be recognised as a finalist for this award.

“Our jewellery is all about timeless design, quality craftsmanship, and making pieces that people love to wear every day.

"To be acknowledged on a national stage among the best in the industry is a real honour for our small, family-run team.”
