About us

We started small, as a silver recovery company operated solely by Sharon Eades. Her approach has always been hands-on, with a special emphasis on the importance of listening closely to customers. Over the years this has shifted our focus to assisting manufacturing jewellers at every stage of the creative process, through an extensive range of quality goods and reliable services.
