Handcrafted personalised fine jewellery made in London

About Argent & Asher
Fine jewellery made to order in London, aimed at buyers wanting a personal name, initial or date turned into something in solid gold rather than picked off a shelf. Customers range from those marking a birth or anniversary to shoppers building a signet ring or tennis necklace from scratch.
The range runs from name necklaces, in cursive, script or disc formats, through to Arabic and Hindi script pieces, initial necklaces and bracelets, and gemstone lines built around turquoise, lapis and birthstones by month. Rings cover signet styles, personalised name rings and engagement pieces, while the necklace offer extends to diamond tennis necklaces and symbolic designs such as evil eye and Star of David pendants. Earrings and personalised bracelets, including the Initial Impressions and Custom Name Bracelet lines, complete the shop. Every piece is worked in solid 14k or 18k gold, hallmarked in the UK, with diamonds described as ethically sourced.
Production runs through an in-house sequence of CAD design, 3D printing and lost-wax casting at the London atelier, founded by Katie Silver, with a paid design preview available before a piece goes into production. There is no showroom or stockist network; everything is ordered online and shipped direct, with lead times of three to five weeks reflecting the made-to-order process.

Questions about Argent & Asher
How long does a custom name necklace from Argent & Asher take to make?
From order to delivery the process usually takes 3-5 weeks, covering design confirmation, handcrafting at the London atelier, UK hallmarking, quality checks and dispatch. Customers can request a design preview for £49, deducted from the final order, before production starts.
What gold is used in Argent & Asher jewellery?
Every piece is made from solid 14k or 18k gold and carries a UK hallmark as proof of purity and authenticity. The two golds differ mainly in durability and colour, with 14k being harder wearing and 18k having a richer tone.
Can I add diamonds or gemstones to an Argent & Asher name necklace?
Yes, diamonds, charms or gemstones can be added at checkout or during the design preview stage. Birthstones and zodiac symbols can also be incorporated into a custom design.
How does the Argent & Asher bespoke design process work?
Each piece begins with a CAD design, followed by a 3D printed model, lost-wax casting in solid gold, and hand finishing with any diamonds or gemstones set by hand. A design preview costing £49 is available and is deducted from the final order price.
Can Argent & Asher jewellery be personalised in Arabic or Hindi script?
Yes, the brand offers personalised jewellery designed with Arabic and Hindi script, alongside its standard name and initial pieces. These are made to order in the same London atelier as the rest of the collection.
How long does Argent & Asher delivery take?
UK deliveries are sent by FedEx next day service, while European orders take 2-3 business days and worldwide orders take 3-5 business days. These times are calculated from when the item is ready to ship, not from the order date, since most pieces are made to order.
Can I cancel an Argent & Asher order after placing it?
Orders cannot normally be cancelled once placed, unless the customer contacts Argent & Asher within five hours of purchase. Outside that window the order proceeds to production as normal.
How do I return an Argent & Asher order?
Personalised and bespoke pieces cannot be refunded unless faulty, and earrings are excluded from returns for hygiene reasons. Any issue must be reported within five working days of delivery, with a photo and description, and items must be returned unworn and in original condition.
Who pays for return postage on a faulty Argent & Asher item?
Where a refund is approved, Argent & Asher reimburses return shipping costs where applicable and refunds go back to the original payment method. Customers are advised to use an insured, trackable service since the company is not responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.
Does international shipping with Argent & Asher include customs charges?
Orders shipped outside the UK may incur approximately 25% in customs, import duties and taxes on arrival. These charges are not covered by Argent & Asher and are the purchaser's responsibility to pay.
