James Rowley Jewellery
I didn't start my working life as a jeweller. It started when I trained as an aircraft technician in the Royal Airforce, and developed as I worked in many industries, and eventually evolved into my work creating beautiful pieces of jewellery, after all jewellery making is actually engineering on a small scale. It brings with it the opportunity to create things that aren't just functional, but things that are beautiful, things that bring love and are loved. In the making of jewellery I've found a way to use the skills I've developed over four decades of engineering, with the opportunity to express those skills in a creative way, designing and developing pieces of jewellery which bring pleasure to both myself, as its creator, and to you, the client who can wear it.
Over the years I've been making jewellery for many people, have evolved my skills and style, and have been able to bring the client into the process, so you, as the client, now have the opportunity to have a piece you have been involved with, from the selection of the gem stones included in it, to the selection of the style of the stone mount and to the style and shape of the ring band, giving you the opportunity to own a piece unique to you. world is filled with love and miracles.

The Manufacturing Process.
In the workshop the process starts with the raw Materials, wire and plate, silver and gold, selected, cut, shaped using saws and files, form tools like stakes and mandrels, each piece assembled, soldered and shaped. Everything you get is hand made by me, I don't use cast ring blanks as most jewellers now do, I set the stones myself, polish, clean and finish all pieces personally, so everything you get is made to the same standards.

My work is client driven, no one size fits all approach, the client is involved from the start of the process, from selecting the stones, to the type of mount they want for the stones, and through to the shape and size of the band in the case of rings, and to the style and length of chain for pendants .
The process is organic, and as a result each piece has its own unique signature, each piece has the wishes of its owner written into it, each piece has its own special meaning, and feel.
