It started with one bench and a stubborn idea.
That fine jewellery should be made by the people who sell it, from stones they can trace, at a price that reflects the work rather than the marketing.
The commissions nobody else would take
In 2008 we were one jeweler working above a watch repair shop, taking the commissions the larger houses turned down — an heirloom stone reset into something wearable, a ring built around a sketch on a napkin.
Those jobs were unprofitable and slow, and they taught us the thing the business is still built on: the difficult piece is the one worth making properly.
Eighteen years later the atelier is larger and the tools are better, but the work still leaves through the same hands that started it.
Eighteen years, in the moments that mattered
2008
A Bench and a Loupe
Forever Jewels began as a single workbench in a shared workshop, taking commissions for engagement rings that the larger houses would not attempt.
2012
The Atelier Opens
Four master jewelers joined the bench and we moved into a proper atelier — casting, setting, and polishing brought under one roof so nothing left the building unfinished.
2016
Direct Sourcing
We began buying rough directly and cutting to our own specifications, which let us guarantee provenance on every centre stone rather than trusting a paper trail.
2020
Lab-Grown, Properly Done
We added certified lab-grown diamonds — graded to the same standard as our natural stones, and priced honestly rather than as a discount gimmick.
Today
Still the Same Bench
Thousands of commissions later, every piece is still finished by hand by the people whose names are on the bench. That has never been negotiable.
