Elegant Whitby Jet Jewellery

Along the rugged coastline of Whitby, the story of jet unfolds. These exquisite gemstones became a Victorian mourning custom in the 1800s and transformed grief into elegance with imagery depicting life, love and remembrance. At its peak popularity, hundreds of jet jewellers created necklaces, brooches, bracelets and more. However, these skills died in 1963 with Joe Lythe, the UK’s final jet apprentice.

Stunning Sheffield Silverware

In the heart of Sheffield’s industrial legacy, sparkles a timeless trove of silverware. In 1853, the Sheffield-based company Walker & Hall fused artistry with industry to create their exceptional silver plate cutlery. They quickly grew into one of the region’s most popular silversmiths and later opened stores across the UK, Australia and South Africa.

Beautiful Yorkshire Longcase Clocks

Clocks have maintained life’s steady rhythm in homes, farmhouses, pubs, train stations and beyond since the mid-1300s. The first longcase clock was developed by William Clement in 1670 and then recreated by Yorkshire’s renowned clockmakers, including Huddersfield’s George Savage and Doncaster’s Thomas Bell. Many of their timepieces still chime proudly throughout homes today.

Exquisite Sheffield Candlesticks

Since the dawn of the 18th century, Sheffield’s skilled artisans merged practicality with artistry to produce high-quality brass candlesticks from the heart of England’s metalworking hub. Over the years, simple designs evolved into increasingly elaborate candelabras for homes, churches, and palaces for decoration, illumination and remembrance.
