The 30 Best Metal creativity in London

“Got my nostril done at Metal Morphosis Carnaby by Lara today and was super happy with my experience. Lara was super lovely and welcoming, explained everything very thoroughly and clearly and was very rigorous with cleanliness. She took time to make sure I was happy with my placement and was very sweet and patient with my pre piercing anxiety! She was super thorough in explaining the aftercare and healing process. The space was super clean, to a clinical standard, and Lara made it clear I could contact her for advice afterwards at any time. Would def recommend Lara and Metal Morphosis!”

“had the best experience at metal morphosis! amazing staff and perfect piercings! Highly recommend ;)”

“Good wardrobe company. They build up the wardrobe in my home. Very clean, polite and the wardrobe is good quality.”

“Genuinely loved the workshop! It was such a fun experience (even though I’m usually not super creative) and the team were so helpful in making the process really clear, enjoyable and straightforward. I imagine it would be equally rewarding to do a kit at home as you will have all the time in the world to create your ring. I got this as a 30th birthday present, it’s a perfect gift or experience to do with friends or family. I don’t usually leave reviews but I can’t recommend them enough.”

“I went with a group of friends yesterday. We all loved every minute of making our rings. Thank you Aileen.”

“I met James at the Ideal Home Show today - he was lovely and makes such gorgeous, unique jewellery pieces (from staples to statement pieces) and I came away with some absolute bargains. He sells pieces to Oliver Bonas but you can get the same kind of style for a fraction of the price, I really recommend it.”

“Juliet and Maria were sweet, funny and very welcoming. I was gifted this for my birthday and went by myself. I was the only male in the room so I was a little self conscious at first.. but that melted away instantly! The class was very educational and has inspired me to carve my own rings at home. Juliet was very patient and forgiving with my silly mistakes and Maria did a great job with helping make my vision a reality. Thank you guys! Keep up the good work. I'll definitely recommend to a friend ☺️”

“I'll summarise my review first - Bespoke Goldsmith are absolutely brilliant, Simon is a master at his craft and I couldn't recommend him enough!!! Now for the more detailed version: My previous ring set just wasn't right. The jewellers tried their best, but it was a bit wonky and didn't meet my expectations. In my research for a jeweller who could meet my expectations, I was surprised it was so difficult to find a company in the UK that I viewed as good enough. I found a few reviews and then the instagram for Simon. I was so impressed!!! I very easily organised to meet with him in October '23. His workshop is in a very secure building near Hatton Gardens in London. It's an amazing place. We went through various options to potentially either 'rescue' my original setting or just go for a straight reset. He wasn't pushy at all and advocated for some cheaper options to rescue my current setting. He also did some drawings of a potential new setting. He spent about an hour with me for free, with no guarantee I was going to move forward with anything. He was patient and kind, whilst also very pragmatic and able to very politely push against things I wanted that he felt were unrealistic with other aspects of my design. I went away to consider my options, and went back in January '24 to finalise a reset design and give him my rings. I picked up my reset rings yesterday. :D I found the whole process quite relaxing even though I had a detailed list of requirements. I just really trusted him to do a great job. I wasn't really expecting to see a CAD, but he did share a CAD with me after about eight weeks. The CAD was already nearly perfect. After one subtle modification, they printed a wax, and were even able to set my diamond into it. They shared photos and a video of that with me. They offered for me to come in and see that in person, but I had various work commitments and decided that that was only going to add weeks to the process so I declined that offer. The pictures and videos were enough but it was nice to have had the offer. The rings have blown away my expectations. The quality of the finish of them is amazing. There was a long list of things I had requested and Simon nailed all of them. I'm amazed by how perfect the rings are even under close scrutiny. The rings are masterpieces. I couldn't recommend working with Simon more. He's really excellent, fairly priced, was willing to work with my own stones, and I view him as a master craftsman. I don't think there are very many of those in the UK, and certainly not many who have the same sense of jewellery style as me. The only thing I would note is that I was quoted 8-10 weeks and it ended up taking four months. Thankfully it was absolutely worth the wait, and I didn't have a deadline in the way I suspect many of their customers do. I'm thrilled they're clearly busy enough as they deserve the custom, but I would encourage them to be as realistic as possible when providing time quotes, or at least to provide an update or two if it looks like the timeframe is going to change. They're a really small company and I know they have a fast-track service too, which I would definitely make use of for the right project, so I didn't begrudge them this, I would have just better managed my own expectations. Regardless, I genuinely fully trust them and will use them again if I ever have need. Simon is a lovely guy, extremely calm and as I mentioned before, very pragmatic, which I definitely appreciate. The conversations we had were all high quality, unrushed, dedicated conversations, and he really knows his stuff. I also have to give a huge shoutout to one of his colleagues, Ryan, who seemed to be the person behind-the-scenes who coordinated meetings/payments/paperwork etc and was also just a genuinely lovely and well-meaning human being. Anyway, I hope that helps for anyone who, like me, was hunting for information about this small company. Thank you Simon and Ryan so so so much, you guys are awesome and I'm so happy! :)”

“The K2 Academy offers a distinctive, stretching and rewarding contemporary jewellery making programme. K2’s approach to design development leads to the creation of unique jewellery pieces and collections and the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification in jewellery making and design. Katrin and Kelvin bring their considerable talents knowledge and experience to their teaching approach providing insight, constructive challenge, practical support and encouragement. I would urge anyone looking for a structured accredited course or specialist one-off jewellery making workshops to opt for K2. You will not find a better place to realise your creative aspirations. You will learn techniques that are rarely available on other courses such as Electroforming and Kum-boo and the small class groups mean that you will be able to share knowledge and learn from other students as well. If you can get to London then I recommend going along to one of the Cockpit Arts (Bloomsbury) Open Days and use the opportunity to visit the K2 workspace and be blown away by the skill, creativity and uniqueness of the students work. Then sign up, you won’t look back.”

“Where do I begin ? If you’re looking for someone who understands your taste, style and vision … this is the best company for you. Manuella delivered! We asked for a romantic soft candle set up for our venue. The set up and decor was everything and more I could ever ask for. It literally brought me to tears ! Her communication level, ability to stay within budget and dedication to delivering the best quality of service is simply outstanding ! From my bouquet to the little extra details at my event ! The owner of this company cares and clearly has a passion for event planning. I am still waiting for more pictures , so apologies for adding minimal . Even so the pictures do not show the real beauty of what was done ! You had to be there to see it for yourself ! Thank you so much for making our special day so memorable !”

“I'm currently on a year long course with Vannetta as my tutor. It's a tough course but really good to increase your design and making skills. The focus on design skills is crucial to setting you apart from other makers. I'm enjoying the course even though I also have a full time job to balance with the jewellery workload. I highly recommend VS Jewellery School.”

“Lovely beads shop ! And plenty of wonderful jewelry too (bought cute one with duck too for my husband) :) There’s seating outside so you could make some beads on a lovely street. P.S. Made a gift for my sister for her new phone”

“An inscribed napkin ring was an impulse buy for my partner less than two weeks before Christmas. The freight company took their time to tell me that a PO Box in Australia was unacceptable. Then Jeremy from Etsy stepped in to fast-track the change of delivery address and on Monday 23rd December there was a knock on the door and a friendly courier handed over the precious little packet. Without that intervention this gift would have been delayed possibly until the New Year. Etsy cared enough to ensure prompt delivery and that really counts.”

“signet ring repair & resized excellent job done thank you at a very reasonable price.”

“I have always had excellent customer service with Roxanne First when buying online, & had the same great experience with my first time making an in-store purchase too. There was an issue with an online order I made, & on contacting customer service they went through the options available. I happened to be going to London shortly afterwards & asked whether I could exchange in person if I got the chance to go to the store whilst there. When I arrived, the sales assistants had been made aware that I might be coming & why, & had put aside a replacement for me already. I browsed & they answered various questions for me about the pieces, & I ultimately decided to exchange for something different. The whole process was really smooth, everyone was super helpful & friendly, & I was really impressed by the internal communication that had evidently taken place too. Roxanne First not only creates beautiful pieces of jewellery, but the brilliant staff both online & in-store make purchasing the pieces a joy too.”

“I have visited Seventh Sun for every piercing I have. My ears at 18. My tongue at 19. My nose at almost 41. There’s a reason I come back here each time and that’s due to the professionalism and aftercare. I’ve never had a bad experience here and would highly recommend the place. Thank you for being awesome! And a staple of Woolwich.”

“Took my son for his birthday on monday and had the best experience-from being greeted warmly at the door,to being seated and beyond. The food was fabulous. It was so good to experience good old fashioned hospitality- it was great and will definetely put this place back on my list. Thank you!”

“Steve has made several pieces for us over many years from diamond earrings to our engagement ring, wedding band and more recently eternity ring and our daughters 21st birthday pendant. We have been delighted with all his work. All pieces are bespoke and the feedback and consultation process before the work begins is excellent. He is a thorough professional and a credit to his trade.”

“I have several pieces from Jessica and each one is exceptional! Extremely helpful customer services as well!”

“Had a wonderful experience at Woking Jewellery School learnt a lot made a few friends would highly recommend it.”
