Barr & Co Jewellery Ltd was launched in August 2017 by Claudine Longueira-Barr. The ethos of her business is to design and create beautiful handmade jewellery in Barr & Co’s in-house workshop. Claudine has been a jeweller for 30 years, qualifying in London and the home counties. Also in the team we have Siobhan, Michael & Jaqueline. Siobhan is currently working full time as Claudine’s apprentice, where she can continue to learn the art of Goldsmithing. At Barr & Co we are passionate about keeping the jewellers traditional hand skills alive, and not losing them to design programs. Both are also involved in making and designing jewellery, it’s a real team effort. We currently have twenty-six collections on display in the gallery, all have been designed and handmade by us in our in-house workshop. We also have a number of one off pieces that we make, these are firm favourite’s with customers who are after a limited edition piece. We also specialise in handmade engagement and wedding rings. These can be tailored to your design and budget. We will draw and paint up some designs for you, we can also supply a selection of stones for you to view to help you create your unique ring. A large part of our business is our commissions service. This is where a customer can come in and discuss having a piece handmade with us. The customer is involved in every stage of the making process, we also send them progression photos and video’s and invite them in to see us working on their jewellery. At Barr & Co we like to offer a traditional all round good service to all our customers, it’s something we pride ourselves on.
