Exclusive Stockist Jewellery Workshop

We are excited to announce the launch of our very first ‘Exclusive Stockist Jewellery Workshop’.

This experience is completely different to the workshops offered before, as it focuses on how Collette creates her jewellery.

The mission is to help jewellery stockists understand Collette’s working practises and design development to really get to grips with the product journey, from the raw materials to the finished piece.  

Those involved will have the opportunity to observe, ask questions and get hands-on making their own pieces of jewellery. This will help improve their knowledge and thus enable them to provide a superior customer service for their own clients.

Not only will this experience build sellers’ confidence when talking about jewellery, but it will enable them to promote the possibilities of customisation, meeting the customer’s needs and creating a more personalised selling opportunity.  

The team at Payne & Son’s Jewellers, based in Oxford, visited Collette to get the full silversmith experience.

Take a look at what they achieved and find out what they thought about the experience.

‘Collette’s method of teaching was great, she is a patient and fun teacher who has the insight to solve problems with the use of her experience and competence in design’ – Matthew.

 ‘I loved how hands on it was - we got straight into making and being creative’ – Harriet.

‘Collette’s teaching methods were engaging and refreshing. She created a fun and friendly environment and she was an attentive and patient teacher, guiding us though the steps whilst also giving us free reign to experiment, make mistakes and learn’ – Chris.

‘I found the card cutting process a clever way of designing our products, it was fun and put us at ease by removing the necessity to draw’ – Chris.

‘Collette made sure our items were polished and finish off so we had a finished item to be proud off’ – Matthew.

‘I would definitely recommend this experience for anyone wanting to learn the process of silversmithing and designing and making their own unique piece of jewellery’ – Harriet.  

Any of my stockists who would be interested in this workshop and would like to find out more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Neck, Wrist and Ring Sizing

Neckwear

As a default all our pendants are hung on 18 inch chains. We have found this is the most popular length. We can supply our pendants on 16'' 18'' 20'' 22'' 24''. 

To decide what is the best length for you, measure an existing chain that is a comfortable length and make a note to help when choosing.

Alternatively, use a piece of string or ribbon to determine the perfect length for you.

Wristwear

Bracelets are very straightforward. The universally accepted length is 7 to 71/2 inches. Ours all have a short extender chain to allow for a little variation.

Bangles can be a bit trickier. We have a great tool you can download to help with this. You can place your own bangle over the template or cut it out and carefully put your hand through the hole. We find the medium is by far our most popular size.

Rings

This to can be tricky, especially if it is for a surprise gift!

We have spent some time developing two tools on one page for you to help determine your size. There are clear instructions on the PDF tool that make it super easy to use and has proven to given accurate measurements.
