DEAKIN & FRANCIS
About us
As masters in the art of design, we employ tools, traditions and techniques passed down from one generation to the next and our expert team oversee each and every step of the journey of our creative craftsmanship. With an extensive legacy of creating pieces of unrivalled beauty and intricacy, we look to implement all the knowledge gained from our long history into every element of our design and creative processes.
"Founded by my forefathers, we remain a family run business spanning seven generations, standing as England’s oldest jewellers. Our legacy is built on crafting fine jewellery in England, using tools, traditions and techniques passed down through the centuries. We remain dedicated to the timeless artistry that has been our hallmark for over 238 years."

OUR DESIGN PROCESS
Craftsmanship and Creativity
Produced by our talented team of designers, all Deakin & Francis products start their life as a hand-drawn sketch and are later translated into handcrafted pieces. We are custodians of traditional techniques perfected by those who came before us, while also exploring the forefront of cutting-edge technology to achieve the level of finish we require for a Deakin & Francis product.
OUR DESIGN PROCESS
A Testament to our Craft
Through two world wars, recessions and a global pandemic we have remained in the same building where we began. Despite these unpredictable times, we have continued to strive for perfection with all of our offerings.
OUR DESIGN PROCESS
Keeping tradition alive
We are proud to be among the few remaining masters of vitreous enamelling - a rare and highly skilled art form. In our workshops, this traditional craft is brought to life by our in-house enamellers, who combine time-honoured techniques with modern innovation to create beautiful and distinctive pieces of jewellery for our clients.
