Why you might want to talk to us about your jewellery requirements.
Our jewellery is designed and handmade in-house, by our own highly skilled craftsmen/craftswomen.
We specialise in one-off and bespoke pieces.
We do not sell online.
We believe that purchasing a wedding ring or engagement ring is a unique moment in anyone's life, and that personal one-to one service from an expert is the way to achieve the best possible result.
As a client, you can have as much creative input as you wish in the design of your piece of jewellery.
Because we are both maker and retailer, we are able to offer exclusive bespoke designs at prices that are comparable with those of good quality factory-produced pieces.
You don't deal with a salesman, but with one of our expert jewellery designers, goldsmiths, and diamond mounters.
Our craftsmen and craftswomen follow the whole creation from the initial design consultation through to handing over the finished item, and take great pride in producing jewellery that completely fulfils the brief, and exceeds the expectations of the client.
To keep your jewellery looking it's best, we offer a free annual clean for items purchased from us.
We are a well-established bespoke jeweller near Brighton
Aurum designer-jewellers is a contemporary jewellers based in West Sussex.
The business was set up in 1985, by jewellery-designer Andrew Leggett, who had spent the preceding 10 years making high-class contemporary jewellery in the London workshops, of eminent London jewellery designers John Donald and the late Geoffrey Turk.
Having set-up business in his home town of Worthing, Andrew continued working alone in the workshop for the first sixteen years.
Moving to a slightly larger premises in 2001 meant there was room for more benches, and there are now three goldsmiths creating contemporary jewellery in the workshop above the showroom.
Virtually everything is produced to commission.
When recruiting a new goldsmith the company takes a graduate with a degree in jewellery design, fresh from university and trains them in-house to produce work to Andrew Leggett’s exacting standards.
"Aurum jewellers' "house style"
We love creating contemporary jewellery, with clean, simple lines, and our own style tend
The scale of our work ranges from fine and delicate to chunky and even "outsize".
Our stock pieces are often used as inspiration for our clients when designing their own pieces, although much of the bespoke jewellery we create bears no resemblance whatever to our "house style".
Our talented team thrives on the challenges that come with each new commission.
Although most of our clients visit us in person, we frequently undertake commissions for bespoke contemporary jewellery from all over the UK and abroad, with all arrangements being made using e-mails and phone calls.
Commissioning jewellery from Aurum
When you commission a piece of bespoke jewellery from Aurum, you deal direct with Andrew Leggett, or with one of his small team of highly-skilled jewellery designers and goldsmiths.
Because we are the makers we understand the technicalities involved in the design, and can give you expert advice along the way.
We guide you through the design process, answering questions and giving you all the advice you need.
Usually the goldsmith you speak to will be the one who actually makes your piece of jewellery, if you decide to order. - A very personal one-to one service.
If you have an enquiry, please give us a call, for a brief initial chat.
The next step would be to book a free design consultation.
