Made Local

Cutting metal to prepare concave pavé setting on ring, hand setting work by Arsen Gugunava London

Made in London

My studio is in London. That's not a marketing detail — it's where the work actually happens.

Every piece I make is made here. Not designed here and manufactured elsewhere. Not assembled from components made in three different countries. Made here, by me, at my bench, from casting to hallmark.

Working at this scale means I stay close to every decision. If something isn't right, I know immediately — because I'm the one holding it. There's no factory floor, no quality control checklist, no third party between me and the finished piece. Just the work, and whether it's good enough or not.

London also means the London Assay Office — one of the oldest and most respected hallmarking institutions in the world. Every piece I make is hallmarked there. That mark is a guarantee of metal purity, and it records me as the maker. It means something. I like that it means something.

Small. Local. Accountable.
