MEMORIES, MADE TIMELESS

Turning Precious Memories into Timeless Keepsakes

Some memories deserve more than a photograph.

A beloved pet who'll always have a place in your heart. A favourite childhood toy filled with happy memories. A meaningful object that tells your family's story.

At Lucia Goldsmiths, we create bespoke miniature sculptures using the traditional art of wax carving and casting. Working from a single photograph, our artisan goldsmiths carefully hand-carve every detail before casting your sculpture in precious metal, creating a timeless keepsake that's uniquely yours.

Every sculpture is individually handcrafted in our workshop, turning life's most treasured moments into beautiful works of art.

CRAFTED FROM YOUR STORY

Every Memory
Deserves to Be Remembered.

Some of the most meaningful things in life can't be replaced.

The faithful companion who greeted you every day.

The teddy bear that comforted generations of children.

The little details that bring back memories with just a single glance.

Our team believes those memories deserve something lasting. Using traditional wax carving techniques, we carefully transform your favourite photograph into a beautifully detailed miniature sculpture, handcrafted entirely by hand before being cast into precious metal.

Every curve, expression and tiny detail is shaped with patience, creativity and exceptional craftsmanship, creating a keepsake that's every bit as personal as the memory behind it.

Because some memories are too precious to leave only in photographs.

I used Lucia Goldsmiths to enlarge my wedding band which she was able to do on the spot. I then had my engagement ring and eternity ring enlarged as well as a silver necklace which had some links missing. All the work was done promptly to an incredibly high standard. I was particularly glad to have the necklace fixed, as it was only a small job but it has sentimental value to me so I'm delighted I can wear it again. Thanks so much!

Genuinely the most unreal service here!! I emailed Lucia before coming in to check she could remodel my grandmas wedding ring. I went to the shop and the lovely lady went through what I wanted, sizing, setting etc. about 7 weeks total from dropping off my gold and honestly the final piece is genuinely perfect!!! I cannot recommend Lucia Goldsmiths enough! I’ll be back!! Thank you!!!

We have just had our wedding bands made here and they are amazing, we are very happy they look great! Lucia was able to shape the wedding band beautifully around my engagement ring and she really listened to what we wanted and helped up make them personal, using some of our old family rings to create the new wedding bands too! Thank you
