70th Birthday Jewellery
Seventy is the birthday the family marks together, and the gift is usually chosen by a daughter or a son. 70th birthday jewellery should be the real thing: pearls with weight, a locket, a bangle in solid silver or gold engraved inside with the year, made by hand in our London workshop and made to be handed on. Pick the kind of thing, and we'll show you five, and the one we'd choose.

Add a date, or her initials
Almost everything here can be engraved by hand in our workshop: the date, her initials, the thing you always say to her. Hidden on the inside of a ring or bangle, or on the back of a heart or charm. From (£X, confirm) a letter. Engraved pieces can't be returned, so if you're unsure of the size, order it plain and we'll engrave it together afterwards.
The giving
Seal it inside a heart she has to break
We wrap the piece in soft cloth and seal it inside a plaster heart, hand painted in the colour you choose. To reach what's inside, she has to crack it open. (Price, confirm.)
If it isn't right, we'll fix it
Size is the reason people hesitate to buy jewellery for someone else. Don't. Make your best guess. Here's what happens if it isn't right.
Wrong size
Return the ring unworn, in its packaging with the receipt, within 14 days and we'll exchange it for the right size. (Confirm: free, or customer pays return postage.)
Wrong piece
