There’s something incredibly special about jewellery that is made by hand, with care, craftsmanship and a real sense of history. That is exactly what you will find at John Garland-Taylor Jewellery, a family-run workshop tucked away in the heart of Warwickshire, creating solid sterling silver and gold jewellery that is designed to last a lifetime.
The business is led by founder and master craftsman John Garland-Taylor, whose story begins not with jewellery, but with armour. Yes, real medieval-style armour. John originally trained as a smith restoring historical pieces for places such as Warwick Castle and the National Trust. Over time, his love for working with metal evolved, and for the past 35 years he has poured his skills into designing and making beautiful bangles, rings and chains that now carry his distinctive “GT” maker’s mark. This mark is a nod to his early days as an armoursmith and still features proudly on many pieces today.
Today, John’s son David works alongside him full-time, bringing a new generation of energy to the business. He has been around the hammers and tools since he was young, and now helps produce much of the jewellery that leaves the workshop (with Oscar the workshop dog by his side, of course).
What sets this small business apart is the attention to detail and the materials they use. Everything is handcrafted from solid 925 sterling silver or 9ct gold or rose gold, sourced just down the road from Birmingham’s historic jewellery quarter. Made to be worn, cherished and passed down.
Whether you are looking for a bespoke bangle that fits just right or a thoughtful gift for someone special, the John Garland-Taylor team makes it easy. Everything can be resized and made to your exact fit.
Even better, you can pop into their workshop and shop in person at Hatton Shopping Village in Warwickshire, where you might catch a glimpse of the jewellery being made right in front of you.
