The practice of authenticating a document by the granter affixing his distinguishing mark or seal was current in ancient India, Egypt, Greece and Rome and was continued in medieval times. The art of the seal engraver is to produce a mirror image in the ring or desk seal so that when it is pressed into hot wax the crest is the correct way round. No machinery is used in the engraving process, only traditional tools such as gravers, half rounds, flat tools and spit sticks. I am able to supply signet rings in silver, 9 ct and 18 ct gold and platinum. I am able to research family crests. Hand engraving is one of the oldest forms of art, dating back to pre historic man. For this type of engraving I use traditional tools. One of such tools is the graver, which is used to cut through the metal to produce the desired crest or initials. I can engrave any precious metal and supply silver and gold cufflinks.

My jewellery consists of necklaces, bracelets, pendants, dress rings, engagement rings, eternity rings and earrings which are set with diamonds, or which combine diamonds with precious or semi-precious stones.

Pearl necklaces and chokers (which may, for example, incorporate an antique brooch converted into a clasp) can be made in any length, knotted or plain. I keep a range of clasps in both nine and eighteen carat gold some of which are set with precious, or semi-precious stones.

In 1868, during the reign of Queen Victoria, Mr Thomas Fox opened a shop in the City of London, making and selling whalebone framed, silk umbrellas. In the 1880s a major change in the manufacturing process took place with the introduction of a stainless steel umbrella mechanism, invented by a Mr Samuel Fox (no relation). By replacing the traditional whalebone frame of the umbrella with the new steel frame, Fox created a unique stronger and lighter umbrella. And so the modern umbrella was born. Since those days the company has built a reputation for excellence, skill and superb craftsmanship, and today the quality and attention to detail are still the hallmark of a Fox Umbrella. The process of making Fox Umbrellas has changed very little, as to obtain the high quality that we require it is still necessary to rely on the skill of hand-workers rather than machines. Fox Umbrellas, with its history and globally renowned reputation for excellence, still exists today, albeit with a change of name to Fox Umbrellas Ltd.
