From designing an engagement ring, to restoring a piece bequeathed by a loved one, a trusted jeweller helps us to commemorate the major milestones in our lives. And at family firm Guy Wakeling Jewellery, goldsmith Guy and his wife Katie are proud to be involved.
Craftsman Guy is a specialist in bespoke design, remodelling, renovation and repair work, and has developed his skills over 30 years. He works with platinum, palladium, white gold, silver and gold to create engagement and wedding rings, earrings and other jewellery.
Customers make a series of appointments at the studio and showroom in Little Hoole to develop their handmade pieces. Guy can work with customers’ sketches, or advise on design, and will order precious stones, which can be supplied, from flawless diamonds to Kashmir Sapphire, to suit these unique creations.
Ethics and provenance are important to Guy, and the stones he supplies are conflict-free.
Katie and Guy opened in Little Hoole last December, after four successful years in Longton. Set among upmarket Bridge Court, the new spacious interior offers Katie a chance to expand her interest in retail. Customers can browse modern ranges from Kit Heath, Unique & Co, Nikki Lisson and Katie’s own brand of selected pieces known as Just Jewellery.
Meanwhile, Guy is helping customers make new memories in 2019 by creating 10 limited edition rings for Valentine’s Day, priced from £110-£200.
