Six Year Anniversary
Six years ago we opened our boutique in Canterbury.
We were excited to launch the brand in the heart of the historic city and still today find it an adventure everyday working in this traditional, romantic trade.
Our regular customers have become friends meanwhile fresh faces come through the door everyday. We would like to thank all of you for your passion which propels us to make more exquisite pieces and bespoke commissions.
Sapphire Surprise
Did you know that sapphires come in a range of dazzling colours?
A stone of wisdom and prosperity, the sapphire has long been relished as sacred.
Luke's favourite shade is Atlantic blue, what's yours?
Bespoke Wedding Ring
Bespoke Wedding Ring: Luke made this beautiful wedding ring for a customer last week.
What's amazing is that the ring can be worn several different ways, meaning it can be bright coloured gemstones (picked out by the couple's children) in the day and diamonds for an evening out.
It is truly a work of art.

Mackintosh respected craftsmanship and tradition, values which are at the core of Luke Goldsmith Jewellery. Here are some initial sketches.

I spy a secret meeting going on regarding some specially cut precious stones which have just come in. They are drusy gemstones, exceptional because of how they've been cut. They definitely have a beautiful texture and sparkle.
