Video: Watch our silversmiths etch sheep jewellery

Etching silver is a process that requires great skill.  Our talented silversmiths painstakingly mark out a pattern on sterling silver before etching the silver in an acid solution.  This process then leaves a permanent pattern in the silver ensuring a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery.

Most of our etched jewellery has a brushed silver finish to let the contrast in colour and texture shine through.

This short video shows one of our silversmiths oxidising (or blackening) an etched silver sheep pattern.
