Jeweller's Loupe

Ethical handmade jewellery in Yorkshire

Jeweller's Loupe is a British independent jeweller that designs and handcrafts engagement rings, wedding rings and other fine jewellery pieces in its Yorkshire workshop. The firm presents itself as a conscious jewellery project, focused on the use of Fairtrade gold and silver, diamonds and gemstones from selected suppliers, and local artisan production. Its founders, Tim and Gary, are identified as the jewellers who create the pieces and handle enquiries.

Engagement and wedding rings

The catalogue is organised around two main lines: engagement and wedding, with additional categories for eternity rings and other jewellery. In engagement, the shop distinguishes solitaire, trilogy and cluster or halo styles, as well as rings with coloured stones and sets that combine an engagement ring and a wedding band. The selection can be filtered by stone type (diamond, lab created diamond or Fairtrade gemstone) and by cut (round brilliant, princess, emerald, oval, pear and marquise).

The wedding section offers ethical plain wedding bands, Fairtrade diamond wedding rings, fitted wedding rings, engagement and wedding ring sets, and men's wedding bands. The eternity ring category includes versions with diamonds, with coloured stones and with lab created diamonds.

The website also includes a guide on this type of diamond. In the gemstone section, the firm works with coloured stones and Fairtrade diamonds, and sells gemstone engagement rings and coloured stone eternity rings.
