David is also the 2018 winner of the 'Goldsmiths Craft and Design Council' Silver Award for - 3D finished pieces of precious jewellery in gold/platinum/palladium.

Meticulous precision is needed when restoring prized possessions, and this is something which we take very seriously. We guarantee quality and take upmost care when repairing items so that they are brought back to life. We pride ourselves on our individual approach to jewellery design. Each piece is characterised not only by its visual appeal and aesthetic beauty but also its tactile connection with our clients.
Services
As an apprentice he had the opportunity to train in various workshops, acquiring a broad range of skills & techniques - including mounting, setting & polishing. He has handmade commissions nationally throughout his career & for local jewellery retailers over the years. Our studio workshop is fully equipped with the latest modern electronics alongside traditional tools that have been used in the trade for thousands of years.
Whether it is a much cherished, family heirloom or a personal piece of great sentimental value, you can rest assured your jewellery is in safe and skilled hands. With 35 years of experience in the trade, there is no restoration we have not seen or repair we have not mastered. From shank or bezel replacements and claw tipping to replicating a lost earring, no job is too big or too small.
Each commissioned piece begins with a personal consultation. Good design is irrespective of price and we work within the guidelines of any size budget. We can recycle old materials or start with new when creating your unique ideas and bringing your vision to life. All clients are welcome to observe the melting process and experience the metamorphosis firsthand.

David was absolutely brilliant to work with. He carefully help to redesign and craft a collection of my late Mum's rings into a ring for my Dad and a bangle for me using the gold and stones. His craftmanship is incredible, and he was very flexible and accommodating during the process too. We are both thrilled with our new jewellery and I am super happy to recommend David McTigue :O)

Very impressed and had full confidence and trust , delighted in the experience with my purchase he made for me in which I admit I have no previous knowledge in understanding jewellery . So much better than a jewellery shop. Well pleased I found you and your son who make such quality jewellery. Thanks.
