Hand made 18ct gold jewellery by Seth Gardner
SG7 by design offers a complete bespoke 18ct gold jewellery design service. The jewellery is handmade for you using traditional jewellery making techniques. Seth, whose workshop is within the gallery, has over 15 years experience in jewellery design and making. He trained and worked in Italy for 5 years before returning to England to set up his own business. He is passionate about quality, craftsmanship and design. His jewellery is almost exclusively 18ct gold.
Commissions for bespoke handmade 18ct gold jewellery, handmade wedding rings, engagement rings and committment rings are his specialities. The challenge of making a jewellery commission is a good antidote to making and remaking the same jewellery, it's a pleasure handmaking a piece of jewellery to a client's design or based on one of Seth's designs. Before you ring or visit you need to think about what sort of gold you want, Seth only works in 18ct gold because it is purer gold than 9 or 14ct. You need to decide whether it is white gold, red gold, yellow gold or a combination. Seth does not rhodium plate his white gold. Then you need to decide on a budget. Handmade jewellery can fit any budget, the more gold and the higher quality stones, the more expensive the jewellery but it can be made with less gold and less expensive stones.Once Seth knows how much you have to spend he will budget around that. The design, you can base your design on one of Seth's or you can design your own. To help clarity it's a good idea to collect some pictures or drawings.If it's a wedding ring think of the shape of the band you want, try on different shapes to see how they match with your engagement ring. Then finally ring Seth on 0113 2819777 or email seth@art of gold galleries.co.uk and set up a time to visit the gallery. Commissions usually take between 3 to 6 weeks to make so tell him your deadline.

Why is hand made jewellry better?
Commissioning handmade jewellery gives you something totally unique and special. With a handmade piece of jewellery, you are in control, for example is you are having your wedding rings handmade, you get to choose the design, the shape, the depth, the weight, whether they are white gold,red gold or yellow or a combination, you can choose the stones (if any) and the compatability with your engagement ring.Every hand made item is as unique as each client.
Chain store jewellery is mostly machine/factory made by casting methods which ensure each item made in the same cast, looks and weighs exactly the same as the one next to it in the jeweller's window.You will see and feel the difference with handmade jewellery, it will wegh heavier, the metal used will be denser, the finish not as uniform but crisper. It will be far more duable and its value will increase more than a machine made piece.
Feedback from clients show appreciation for the individuality and the craftsmanship of the handmade jewellery, the helpfulness and the prices
We also showcase jewellery from eight of the countries most creative, inspirational and contemporary silver designers. The designs you can see here are mostly silver but our designers will craft the same designs in gold.
