OUR STORY
We are Shân and Andrew, our love of jewellery started when we were both apprentices at Cartier.
After working for nearly 30 years creating fabulous jewellery in Mayfair, London, we have decided to open our own studio in Wendover, Buckinghamshire.
Andrew followed his Father and Grandfathers footsteps by becoming the third generation of jewellers to work at Cartier. Shân followed her childhood dream of becoming a jeweller and went on to represent Great Britain in the Skills Olympics.
We are both trained in traditional and modern techniques and have won numerous competitions at the Goldsmiths' Craft Council. We both received the Freedom of the City of London and are members of the Goldsmiths' Company. Andrew is a Fellow of the Institute of Professional Goldsmiths and honoured to be a judge for the Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Council Competition.
With our passion for jewellery, we provide the highest quality craftsmanship. From replacing a missing stone, a ring resize, to a bespoke handmade commission, all work is undertaken by us in our studio. With our full design service, unworn or broken jewellery can be transformed into a treasured piece.
We look forward to helping you with your jewellery requirements.
SERVICES
Our services include and are not limited to; ring resizing, rhodium plating, polishing, repairing worn settings, chain repair, restringing and engraving.
JEWELLERY REPAIRS
Some repairs can be completed on the same day, more complex repairs will require a little more time.
We offer a complimentary appraisal service on any piece of jewellery, so minor problems like worn settings don't end
up with a lost stone.
We can also supply and replace all gemstones. All repairs are undertaken
in our Wendover studio.
REMODELLING
Remodelling is an excellent option if your jewellery is beyond economic repair, or you fancy giving older pieces a fresh, up to date look.
With our expertise, we can turn something unworn into a "must be worn" piece
of jewellery.
BESPOKE
We will be delighted to help you design and realise the unique piece of jewellery that you desire.
With our craftsmanship and expertise, we are able to offer you a bespoke service of exceptional quality.

"I had been searching high and low for a perfect wedding bands when I came across Basford Fine Jewellery, they had exactly what I wanted but in 9ct rose gold instead of 18ct so I messaged and received great customer service quick to reply and so helpful, not only that my ring was made and sent out in a very quick time and the prices were very reasonable. Thank you for all your help."
