Who we are
Excellence in Craftsmanship and Contemporary Jewellery Design
At the very heart of SG7 Jewellery is Goldsmith and Designer Seth Gardner – whose 18ct gold jewellery is made from a love of designing and a passion for the traditional craft of goldsmithing. For over 35 years he has been making fine jewellery from precious metals in which time he has built a reputation for transforming gold and fine gemstones into beautiful contemporary heirlooms each one designed and handcrafted to be completely unique to each customer.
From the beginning
Seth’s journey as a goldsmith began in childhood, when a simple school project first sparked his fascination with jewellery making. After leaving school, he completed a degree in Jewellery Making and Design at Sheffield Hallam University. He worked in the jewellery industry for a couple of years after which he was given an amazing opportunity to live and work in Italy. Here he trained under a master goldsmith and refined his craft of hand making fine jewellery. Italy is world renowned for both handcrafting jewellery and for design, his years there formed his style, his craftsmanship and his brand name. While working in Italy his friends and colleagues couldn’t pronounce the “th” sound in his name so they called him Sette which in Italian means number seven hence his business name SG7 jewellery.
Returning to Yorkshire, he opened his first studio in Horsforth, Leeds, before establishing his shop and workshop in Skipton’s beautiful Craven Court. Here, every bespoke piece is designed and handcrafted by him with love, passion and individuality.
