Handcrafted Jewelry Celebrating Love, Hope & Affection
For nearly four decades, our family-run business has been crafting jewelry celebrated for its storytelling, craftsmanship, and emotional resonance. Founded in 1978 by Nick and Jean Hubbard in Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter, we transitioned to a Staffordshire workshop where we continue Nick's legacy after his passing in 2013. Our work, influenced by literature, comic art, music, and nature, pioneered fine jewelry featuring hand-engraved text, mechanized elements, and intricate figurative details.Each piece, marked by our signature 'brick and bean' engraving, is handcrafted from solid silver and gold, reflecting Nick's ethos that jewelry should spread joy while cherishing the past and inspiring hope for the future. Our team, including Nick's daughters Philippa and Elizabeth, preserves his creative processes and traditional techniques to ensure every item maintains his distinctive style and quality standards.
