OUR STORY
A LONG-ESTABLISHED FAMILY BUSINESS, PROUDLY SPANNING FIVE GENERATIONS, WITH AN OUTSTANDING REPUTATION FOR CRAFTING HIGH-QUALITY, BESPOKE FINE JEWELLERY.
Our jewellery is not only about design but also about bringing that design to life. It’s about selecting the right materials and employing the finest techniques to create bespoke pieces. Exceptional design requires flawless execution. It demands artisans with the expertise to understand how gold of every carat will behave and interact. Our pieces are a testament to the skill of our team. We deeply value these craftsperson’s and ensure their expertise is reflected in every aspect of our work—from the meticulous creation of our rings to the precise setting of stones, artful engraving, and flawless finishing.
The art of jewellery making dates back to prehistory. Some of our rings closely resemble those found in renowned museums around the world, and we take great pride in preserving traditions that stretch back to a time before the written word. We are confident that you will recognise and appreciate the knowledge and craftsmanship embodied in even the simplest of rings.
The company was founded by John Gammage in Clerkenwell, London in 1861. We are proud to have descendants of the three founders still associated with the business today, and a relative of the Gammage family runs the company. In 1982 LW&G took over an even older company, W. Wilkinson, (founded in 1832) and formed the company that is still supplying fine jewellery throughout the UK.
Despite the credit crunch we are lucky to be able to still develop our business, shown by the large base of loyal customers and increasing numbers of new clients. Our growing customer base is a testament to our ethos of aiming to leave every customer happy and guiding them with our professional advice. Our roots in traditional jewellery making methods are complemented by our keenness to learn new techniques and release new designs to cater for every customer.
