It is important to recognise that, without the support of the other jewellers and apprentices, it would not be practical to commit the time needed to entering such events.

Recent Awards

Continuing in her Mother's footsteps, Vikki Freeman, designer and daughter of Catherine Best has been awarded Gold in the prestigious Goldsmiths' Craft & Design Council Awards in the Production Jewellery category for this truly unique Effervescent collection

Effervescent has been recognised and rewarded as an excellent design that can be successfully manufactured using production techniques. Vikki's design has been drawn using CAD (Computer Aided Design) and then 3D printed in various precious metals. The innovative and creative design allows for a double-sided and customisable piece of jewellery. Different stones can be set with diamonds on either side of the pendant producing two designs in one.
