One bench. Four generations. No shortcuts.
In 1924, goldsmith Elias Marlow and diamond setter Walter Finch pooled their tools and opened a single oak workbench in York. A century later their great-grandchildren still sit at it — and every piece in our cases passes through their hands before it passes into yours.
Bring us a ring that’s spent thirty years in a drawer, a watch that stopped on a Tuesday, or nothing but a question. Appraisals are always complimentary, the coffee is always on, and nobody here works on commission.
Three we can’t stop showing people
Photographed under the same light you’ll see them in at the counter — no filters, no retouching, nothing hidden.
Watch it catch the light.
The HaloA round brilliant ringed in hand-set pavé — it reads a size larger across the room and twice as bright up close.
Opal InlayGenuine opal laid flush into a wave of yellow gold. Tilt your hand and it shifts from sea-glass green to electric blue.
Vintage FiligreeHand-pierced white-gold scrollwork and milgrain edges around a bright center diamond — estate romance, built for every day.
Eternity BandBaguettes and rounds matched by eye and set all the way around, so it sparkles from every angle — even the ones only you see.
Find the band that feels like yours.
Yellow, white and rose gold. Brushed, hammered, milgrain and diamond-set. Slip them on side by side, feel the weight and the comfort-fit edge, and choose the one that belongs on your hand — not just in the photo. Engraving is on us.

Bring us loose stones, an old setting, or a sketch on a napkin. We’ll render your design, cast it in wax so you can try it on, then set every stone by hand at the bench. Most commissions are ready in four to six weeks.
