Bench Jeweller / Goldsmith

Jacqueline & Edward

Wetherby, West Yorkshire

Jacqueline & Edward are an ever-growing online ethical jewellers with a focus on the use of recycled precious metals and gemstones to create a range of engagement rings, wedding rings, and other jewellery. We incorporate natural alluvial gold from around the world into our pieces to add provenance to our work. Mark, one of the co-founders, is a long-time gold panner and takes clients out on gold panning adventures, so they can incorporate the gold they find into their wedding rings or engagement rings. Everything is fully handmade within our own workshop from molten metal, and we do not do trade work or repairs. We are situated in the heart of the historic market town of Wetherby, West Yorkshire, and are about to move into a beautiful, bespoke-designed workshop as we have outgrown our current space. We supply our products both locally, across the UK, and worldwide.
