The founders aim to make unique items each time which will be a fantastic addition to your home whilst being an art form. Many of the items are made to order in close collaboration with the customer. They design each piece and then every bit of furniture is made from scratch in Wales. From selecting the specific timber at the sawmill through to the finished product, they put an immense amount of time, skill and precision that goes into everything that they do. Although a very small business, this is a fine example of the quality and craftsmanship on offer across Great Britain.
Celebrating British Craftsmanship. We are constantly told that nothing is made in the UK anymore or that there is no alternative but to move production abroad. We will post the details of something that is made in UK, everyday for a year and show that Britain still has tremendous skill, craftsmanship, innovation and heritage.

27. Emma Franklin Jewellery
Emma designs and hand-makes each individual piece, using traditional techniques at her Clerkenwell studio. One of her signature items is a pair of pheasant and shotgun cufflinks. Each set is made to order with discreet initials engraved by request. The cufflinks are solid cast gold which she then solders to a chain joining the two shapes.
Having studied at Central St Martins School of Art & Design, Emma has worked in the heart of the jewellery capital in London for a number of years. She works from her own studio which offers an inspirational workplace for Emma to design and make her stunning pieces of handmade jewellery.
