The people behind every piece

Aardvark began in a small second floor office in 2018, in a room barely big enough for 2 desks. Now the studio has moved, grown substantially, and quietly kept the same principle: every piece is made by a person whose name you can put to the piece they made.

The Jewellery Quarter is one of the oldest craft districts in Britain and still the country’s most concentrated — two hundred and seventy workshops in half a square mile. We take that inheritance seriously. The people you’ll read about below are the reason every ring that leaves us has a story older than the box it ships in.
