INTRODUCING...
Bespoke
Made for you means that you can create your own design and use your own diamond or sapphire, ruby, emerald or any other gemstone.
We love to make jewellery. We mix ancient craft skills with the newest technology which means we can make virtually anything for you!
Made for you...
means that you can create your own design and use your own diamond or sapphire, ruby, emerald or any other gemstone. Come to our friendly family jewellery shop Fabricius Green, 1 High street, Shrewsbury, SY1 1SP and we can show you our work and a huge range of designs and we can show you a selection of stones and then set them into one of our designs, or we can sit with you and create your own unique design.
Designing and making jewellery must be in our blood...
The Green family has been doing it for at least 7 generations. We usually start with a gemstone. If the stone belongs to one of our customers we will discuss his or her ideas, what kind of item they want, their preferred style, what other jewellery it will be worn with and, of course, the cost. Very often the original piece has been inherited, so it may be important to retain a flavour of the old design. There are so many elements to a successful design that a large part of the process is listening to the wishes and ideas of the owner. We are often asked to make a wedding ring to fit round an awkwardly shaped engagement ring, we are determined that the ring should look as attractive on its own as it does when worn together.
Our recent commissions...
We make as much of our own stock as possible...
this helps us to pass on the savings associated with buying diamonds and gemstones direct from the cutters and dealers. When designing something new we make sure that we are buying the best possible gems at the best value, and this is the key to our success as well as being a lot of fun. Our history in manufacturing jewellery has given us the experience and a network of gemstone dealers as well as a group of the finest craftsmen in the country. Diamonds must have lots of fire and brilliance (sparkle), while coloured gems need vivid, attractive colours with depth and warmth which will give pleasure for a lifetime.
It is important to keep designs interesting and a bit different
though the proportions and balance are also vital. The difference between really pretty and dull can be tiny, just a minor variation in the size of the stones or the delicacy of the setting. Attention to detail and value for money is what sets us apart. We can remodel existing jewellery or design entirely new jewellery.
