Services
Bespoke Jewellery Design
Our master goldsmiths create one-of-a-kind pieces tailored to your vision. From engagement rings to heirloom remakes, we use CAD technology and traditional techniques. Clients work directly with designers for 4-6 weeks to craft wearable art that reflects personal stories and preferences.
Lab-Grown Diamonds
We offer chemically identical lab-grown diamonds as sustainable alternatives to mined stones. These diamonds undergo rigorous quality checks and come with certification. Our experts guide clients through selecting the perfect stone for engagement rings or investment pieces, ensuring transparency and value.
Watch Repairs
Our in-house watchmakers repair all brands, including Rolex, with precision. Services include battery replacements, movement overhauls, and water resistance testing. Using specialist tools, we restore timepieces to optimal functionality while preserving their aesthetic integrity for discerning collectors and daily wearers.
Jewellery Restoration
We revive damaged heirlooms and vintage pieces using traditional techniques. Our goldsmiths mend broken chains, replace missing stones, and polish worn settings. Each restoration balances historical accuracy with structural reinforcement, ensuring treasured items endure for future generations with minimal intervention.
CAD Design
Computer-Aided Design visualises custom jewellery before crafting. Clients review 3D models, adjusting proportions and details. This technology ensures precision in complex designs like multi-stone settings or intricate filigree work, reducing revisions and material waste during production.

I am so glad that I found Taylor & Co Master Goldsmiths as Ive had a diamond for some time that I wanted made into a piece of jewellery. Mike has made me a beautiful bespoke pendant that I shall really enjoy wearing. I look forward to my next visit.

I have recently had a gold bracelet repaired by Sam at Taylor & Co and could not fault the service. I was given a valuation of the bracelet and matching necklace, which was a pleasant surprise, and Sam then provided me with a quote for the repair within 24 hours...a task which other jewellers took over a week to do. The part was then ordered and received the next day, at which point Sam carried out the repair immediately. Both my bracelet and necklace were given a complimentary clean and they now look as good as new. I would highly recommend this company and not hesitate to use them again myself

I cannot recommend Taylor & Co highly enough. Mike has just made me the most beautiful ring for my Ruby wedding anniversary, but that aside I have used the jewellers for many years for something as simple as a watch battery to a nice gift for a friend and the staff have always been so helpful and friendly.
