contemporary jewellers

Aurum  (the name is Latin for gold), was set up in 1985, by designer-craftsman, Andrew Leggett, who had spent the preceding 10 years making high-class jewellery in the London workshops, of eminent designers John Donald and Geoffrey Turk.

We design and make high quality jewellery of all kinds, in gold, platinum, diamonds, and other precious and semi-precious stones. The majority of our work is completely handmade from scratch, using traditional techniques, and much is made to commission.

Although most of our clients visit us in person, we frequently undertake commissions from abroad, with all arrangements being made using e-mails and phone calls.

The craftsmen at aurum are always happy to discuss individual requirements, and offer advice and estimates without obligation.

Individually designed wedding and engagement rings make up a large part of our output.

For many years we have exhibited our handmade wedding rings, at "Wedding Fairs",  mostly in Sussex, but also in Kent, Hampshire and Surrey. In 2007 we took part in the Goldsmiths' Fair at Goldsmiths' Hall in London.

In addition to our own creations, designed by Andrew Leggett and produced by a small team of jewellers, we now carry the work of other designers, whose work we admire.

We currently have jewellery by Atelier Verstraeten, BunzXen, Breil, Stockert, David Webdale and Dancing Bear.

We also carry out remodelling of clients' own jewellery.

You may have inherited a collection of jewellery which, whilst it has sentimental value, never gets worn because it is unfashionable, or just not to your taste.

Why not let us redesign it for you? A large piece can be broken down and "reincarnated" as several smaller pieces, or a lot of  small unwanted items can be turned into one more impressive piece.

A worn-out  engagement ring can be re-created as it was when new, or if you prefer, remodelled in a more up-to-date style.

Show us what you have, and we will be happy to discuss some possibilities.
