What does Concorde have in common with fine jewellery?
More than you might imagine.
Before becoming a jeweller, David trained as a scientific and medical instrument maker and later worked in aerospace engineering, helping to manufacture part of Concorde's nose cone.
That background in precision engineering continues to influence every piece he creates today.
From the smallest diamond setting to a beautifully balanced platinum ring, David makes each piece individually by hand in our London workshop.
No mass production. No shortcuts. Just decades of experience, exceptional craftsmanship and a genuine passion for making things beautifully.

September’s birthstone is the sapphire, and it’s a gemstone we love working with.
We think choosing a gemstone should be fun. There’s so much more to a sapphire than simply finding one you like the colour of — where it comes from, how it’s been sourced, its colour, character and what makes that particular stone special all add to the story.

Why does David Ashton favour rub-over settings?
Quite simply, they offer the perfect balance of beauty, durability and practicality.
A rub-over setting surrounds the gemstone with a fine rim of precious metal, creating a sleek, elegant finish while providing excellent protection. This makes it ideal for jewellery you want to wear every day.
During the summer months, when you're travelling, spending time outdoors, gardening or enjoying holidays and activities, a rub-over setting helps protect your gemstone from everyday knocks and bumps. Its smooth profile also means it won't catch on clothing, towels or knitwear.
The clean lines of a rub-over setting allow the gemstone to take centre stage while giving you confidence that your jewellery can cope with modern life.
It's one of the reasons David Ashton has specialised in rub-over settings for decades. They combine timeless design with practical wearability, creating jewellery that looks as beautiful years from now as it does today.

The Epitome of Organic Opulence
Indulge in a masterpiece where vibrant modern luxury meets the timeless mysteries of the ocean.
This breathtaking necklace features a stream of natural, perfectly faceted pink sapphire beads, radiating an unmatched brilliance. In a flawless display of craftsmanship, the stones beautifully graduate into subtle grey and white sapphires, creating a dramatic ombré effect.
At the heart of this gradient rests a magnificent, 11mm AAA-graded white round pearl—possessing a deep, mirror-like lustre and a flawless surface finish.
A Marvel of Nature
True pearls are an exquisite organic wonder. Far from the myth of a simple grain of sand, a pearl is formed over years as a shelled mollusc protects itself from a parasitic irritant, spinning concentric layers of calcium carbonate into a timeless treasure.
Bespoke Elegance, Tailored For You
While this pink sapphire and AAA pearl combination is a showstopper, we believe luxury should be personal.

Just finished this bespoke commission: a platinum, sapphire and diamond ring — and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. The sapphire is truly exceptional; rich in colour, full of life, and sparkling beautifully . Surrounded by diamonds all around the ring, there’s an incredible sense of light, sparkle and beauty from every view, while still feeling wonderfully elegant and easy to wear every day.
Sapphires are proving especially popular at the moment, and it’s easy to see why. Timeless, sophisticated, and wonderfully individual, each stone has its own character and charm.
If you’d like to discover more about sapphires, take a look at the blog. Crafted with care in our workshop in London — luxury that feels personal, approachable, and made to last.
