Craftsmen offer more for scrap gold. The Office of Fair Trading has just announced action against multiple ‘cash for gold’ businesses.
These companies offer an exchange of gold for cash by post, however, as consumer watchdog, Which? found, these firms often offered consumers far lower prices than they would get if they went to a jeweller or a pawnbroker.
Here in our workshop, we can melt down and re-use gold, therefore giving excellent rates, bettering high-street jewellers.
Month: May 2011
It’s such a shame when your jewellery box is full of broken, unused and unfashionable pieces that are never worn. We invite you to make an appointment for your free consultation on how we can transform them into the set of jewellery that you have always dreamed of owning.
We re-polish diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies to look like new. We create designs that cleverly utilise mismatched sizes as if you’d chosen them that way. We reclaim your platinum and gold and if it’s of sentimental value, guarantee that we are reusing the same metal in your new items. Any unused materials are returned to you.
White gold and platinum ideas:
If you prefer, any metals that cannot be recycled because of impurities or are surplus to your requirements can be exchanged for cash at the best rates. (see post above)

A Precious Legacy
Nowhere is the famous Ditchling arts and crafts heritage more alive and well than in the workshop and gallery of Anton Pruden and Rebecca Smith right in the centre of the village. Eric Gill himself suggested to Dunstan Pruden (Anton’s grandfather) that he join the Guild of St. Joseph and St. Dominic on Ditchling common in 1931. As one of the most influential silversmiths of the 20th Century, the legacy is strong:
“Growing up at the Guild, I was aware even very young of the centrality of the work there….not an over-serious, dry thing, but that they loved, cherished and valued what they did. It was a rare thing then as now and we make it central to our life too. “
For over 20 years they have been designing & making extraordinary jewellery and silverware for those who appreciate real craftsmanship. Whether buying a small silver gift off the shelf or commissioning an engagement ring of a lifetime, buying directly from their workshop is an unforgettable experience.
Commissions include chalices for Ely Cathedral, candlesticks for Durham Cathedral and jewellery for Julie Christie. Rebecca Smith and Anton Pruden are Freemen of the Goldsmiths Company.
Open daily 10.00-17.00, Monday – Sunday. (Sundays 11.00-4.00) Open seven days a week.
