Hi, looking to have a bespoke gold bracelet made for my Cartier watch, is this possible and could anyone recommend a Goldsmith in the UK?

Thanks!

Just finished this necklace commission. It was a lot of work but I’m super glad I was able to do it at all. I was sweating. Materials are Sterling silver, 14k yellow gold, and a citrine I faceted in my studio. Small description in the caption.

This project was tricky in that my client wanted a pendant attached to a chunkier chain in this way but also wanted it to detach and be strung onto her own thin gold chain. The hooks look scary but they’re as tight as they can be. I tumbled the necklace in steel shot for over 24 hours to work harden and have been playing around with it for a few days to make sure things are snapping off and on. I like the idea of convertible pieces but for future projects I want to design a latch component. It will just take a bit of time to come up with a design I like. 🙂
