I had a wonderful day today with the Mischievous silversmith. He helped me make this beautiful bangle!
Rob is so knowledgeable and passed a bit of that knowledge to me, I have learnt so much from him and will definitely be booking another day . We had a delicious sandwich made for us and endless cuppas with biscuits thank you Rob & Fen. I thoroughly recommend this course

I like to think of myself as a Front Jewellery superfan, mostly because my jewellery box is full of so many of Rob Morris' frankly stunning designs.
Unique, comfortable, handmade, and beautiful, I always receive compliments when I wear them
The team in the shop are always happy to answer questions and are beyond helpful. A gem (excuse the pun) of a shop.

I love this shop and Robs uniqueness. If you want a piece of jewellery to be sentimental or meaningful, then go to Rob. I have purchased the double wave ring/bangle and we have gone back and purchased matching wedding bands (My husband being a Z9). You can see Robs passion for his work. Thank you Rob and Fenella, I will be back.
