We were looking for an alternative/more sustainable way of having our gold wedding bands made when we stumbled across Mark’s jewellery company Jacqueline & Edward online. Mark works with panned gold which really excited us. Being Londoners, we had no idea you could find gold in rivers and immediately started to plan a gold hunting trip!
Mark was amazing and very well organised, and it wasn’t long until we met him at a secret location up in Scotland. He brought all the equipment, kindly lent us a pair of waders and even brought some lunch which we ate in a beautiful location by the bank of a river. We spent the day panning the river and Mark taught us how to pan for gold in the wild, as well as how to read the lay of the land. He was incredibly knowledgeable not just about how to find gold, but the science and geology behind it. Incredibly we ended up finding quite a few flakes of gold that day, which was very exciting, we then celebrated that evening with a pint in the local!
We discussed a unique ring design with Mark and the gold flakes we found were used in the final design. For us, this was a really special touch, because when we look at the rings, they don’t just have a story behind them, but they also include the gold we panned! Before the final rings were sent to us, we visited Mark at his workshop for the final touches and fitting, we had a cup of tea, a chat and the rest is history!
Throughout the whole process Mark was so friendly, helpful and professional, his creativity and knowledge were very inspiring. We would totally recommend this to anyone who is looking for quality customised jewellery which has a personal touch and who doesn’t want to go to a generic high street shop for something factory made.
