Taking an idea from a rough sketch to a finished ring is real, hands-on work, and Hatton Garden has done it longer than almost anywhere in Britain. Behind the shopfronts on Greville Street and the lanes off Farringdon sit the workshops that actually make the jewellery: the designers, the bench jewellers, the setters who fit each stone by eye.
The 8 businesses listed here cover the whole production chain. That usually starts with design, either hand sketches or CAD, then a wax or resin model so you can see the shape before any metal is cut. From there it moves to casting, stone setting and finishing, in gold and platinum to professional trade standards. Many also handle diamond and gemstone setting, resizing, remodelling and restoration, with the work done to keep proportions and structural integrity intact.
These workshops serve private clients commissioning one-off pieces, often engagement rings and wedding bands, as well as the wider trade. If your project is purely digital modelling, the CAD design specialists nearby can produce print-ready files. Lead times and specialisms vary by bench, so it is worth describing your project up front.
Browse the workshops below and book a consultation to talk through your design. The earlier you involve the maker, the smoother the build.
