Jacqueline & Edward is an independent jewellers founded by husband and wife Mark and Jacqueline and was born out of Mark’s passion, gold panning. He is a world gold panning finalist and British and Scottish gold panning champion. Having previously worked in the environmental sector as a contaminated land consultant, some of the projects Mark managed involved the restoration of mining areas, during which time he gained qualifications as a chartered environmentalist. Scientist and chartership within the institute of water and environmental management. He has seen first-hand the damage done to our landscapes by mining.
It is this combination of passion and education that Jacqueline & Edward is built on and means we have an uncompromising view when it comes to sustainable and ethical practices. All our jewellery is sustainably made-to-order in our Wetherby workshop using traditional techniques and is handcrafted by our small team of artisan jewellers. We don’t believe in creating jewellery without a purpose. Each piece we make is handmade and none of our wedding rings or engagement rings are mass produced. Handmade to us means melting our own alloys to our own unique recipe, it means drawing our own wire to create the claws which hold our gemstones and it means your piece never has to leave our workshop (apart from when it’s sent to be hallmarked). We genuinely create by hand from start to finish.
