A Legacy to Be Proud of Since 1909

Our Goldsmith's Workshop

Our newly renovated onsite workshop is the perfect setting for our skilled goldsmith, who brings decades of experience to every project. We offer a variety of jewellery maintenance and repair services, along with custom remakes and bespoke designs.

The Refurbished Workshop

Our recently upgraded workshop is fully equipped with state-of-the-art tools, including polishing equipment, laser welders, ultrasonic cleaners, a steam cleaner, and a rhodium plating machine.

Our Services

Our onsite workshop undertakes a range of jewellery maintenance and repair services. Our skilled goldsmith uses traditional methods with state of the art technology to ensure the work is carried out to the highest standard.

Cleaning & Polishing

If your jewellery has become dull or scratched, our skilled workshop can restore your treasured piece back to its original shine.

Retipping Claws

Over time, the claws (or prongs) on your jewellery can wear down, compromising their ability to securely hold your gemstones. Re-tipping involves rebuilding these claws to restore their strength and ensure your stones remain safe.
Regular maintenance is essential and we recommend having them inspected annually.

Melt & Make

Using your sentimental gold, our melt & make service allows us to craft a beautiful new piece of jewellery. Whether you want to recycle your own gold or incorporate gemstones, we will guide you through every step of the process.

Rhodium Plating

Over time, white gold jewellery can lose its bright, reflective finish as the rhodium plating naturally wears away. We are able to offer a professional rhodium plating service to keep your jewellery looking flawless.

Edit* Just had another absolutely amazing experience with AA Thornton. I went through their bespoke process for an engagement ring and I am over the moon with the result and was very happy with the process, service and attention to detail. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Sally and all the team at A A Thorntons are absolutely fabulous - professional yet friendly !
I recently had a ring set redesigned and they were so helpful, keeping me updated every step of the way so that I had input into the settings.
I would definitely recommend them for this type of work and also for the wonderful range of items, jewellery and gifts, that they have in store.
Sally - I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and the utterly beautiful result.
