Sonkai Jewellers

Expert working jewellers in the heart of Norwich. Offering bespoke designs, upcycling, and repairs. Please browse our photo's for examples of our work.

Sonkai is a family-run independent, manufacturing and retail jewellers; producing bespoke commissions for the public and unique handmade pieces that are sold from the shop, alongside other contemporary collections from designers based in the UK and abroad. Our Sonkai store is fairly unique in the fact that we have our own jewellers who work on-site and the jewellers workbenches are in the shop itself, on full view for all to see. Where possible we carry out nearly all of our work by hand and in-store using traditional methods, which is then supported by the use of modern technology in the form of computer design and casting, for an all-round service. Our head goldsmith Craig is a qualified jeweller with many years experience. We undertake many commissions of all types including re-using existing metal and gemstones to produce something modern and new.

Exciting new drops for you today - two new unique Flint cluster rings, out on the shelf and ready to find their new homes!

The trilogy ring features a stunning royal blue trillion cut sapphire, nestled alongside two sparkling diamonds in 18ct yellow gold, and the four-stone ring boasts a mixture of tanzanites and sapphires in 9ct yellow gold.

Check out our website for more details, or pop into the shop to try one on (and maybe take it home!). 😉

There's something very regal about the combination of deep blue, bright gold and white!

Take this bespoke ring, for example. The rich tones of the blue sapphire and 18ct gold marry nicely with the white spinel in-between, and the faux hammered texture across the band gives the ring an heirloom quality befitting its origins as sentimental gold and gemstones.

Fit for royalty? We think so!

If you have your own inherited, old, or broken jewellery that you would like reimagining into something new, get in touch! Or pop into our Norwich shop in the prestigious Royal Arcade to see one of our designers.

We just love a bit of asymmetry here, and this bespoke pair of Flint hoops really captures the concept!

Our customer had a collection of gemstones in various different shapes, but in complementary shades of blue, and wanted to showcase the stones in a more contemporary style. With sleek bezel settings to house the aquamarines, sapphires, and moonstones, and discreet bobble details, these Flint textured hoops are stunning, and tell a new story from every angle!

Just a little note to let those of you know that we haven't seen already - we will be closed this Saturday for the wedding of our lovely goldsmith Craig, and his fabulous fiancée Naomi! 🥳We're overjoyed to see these two tie the knot, and wish them a very happy future together! 🎊🎉

We will be back open as usual on Tuesday.

🥳 Congratulations to a lovely couple on getting engaged! 🥳

It's been a pleasure to design and make this beautiful sapphire engagement ring, made from sentimental inherited gold jewellery, including a stunning blue sapphire cabochon and white sapphires. Our customer wanted to create something with a natural flow, and really wanted to feature Chinese hibiscus as their partner's favourite flower, so we opted for a bypass style band that sweeps around the central sapphire, with the hibiscus flowers tucked into the corners along the shoulders.

Are you thinking of proposing (or wanting to drop the hint to your other half 😉)? Our designers can help you through the whole process - from choosing the design, to picking the right materials, and giving advice on sizing too.

We are in love with this bespoke four stone cluster ring! 😍

It's often difficult to find a balance when working with an even number of stones, especially when they are all different shapes and sizes, but setting them into bezels at varying angles across the finger creates a fun wave effect that allows each stone to shine in its own way. The warm yellow gold helps to bring out the green tint of the aquamarine too - beautiful!

We have a beautiful pair of bespoke rings made for one of our lovely customers for you today! These rings were made using a mix of the customer's own gold, diamonds, and emerald. The emerald and largest diamond have been bezel set into a bypass design with sweeping arms and bobble details, and the smaller diamonds were scattered randomly across a pebbled open band.

We have a lot of customers who face difficulties with their joints, and one of the solutions we have found that works well is to leave a small gap at the back of the band like this. This then allows for a little extra room to pass over larger knuckles, while fitting tighter at the bottom of the finger.

If you would like to speak to one of our designers about having your jewellery redesigned, please get in touch, or pop into our shop in the Royal Arcade in the heart of Norwich!

It's Norwich Pride today, and what a fantastic day for it! 😍 (Look at that ruby glow in the sun! 😲)

We want to wish our friends out there a fun, sunny, and safe time today - 18 amazing years and counting! 🥳

We count ourselves lucky to live in such a vibrant and inclusive city - long may it continue!

Hope you're all keeping cool today - what a scorcher! 🌞🥵

We've been seeing an uptake in engagement ring enquiries as the weather has steadily brightened, so we thought we would take advantage of the beautiful conditions and take some videos of our favourite engagement rings!

What's your favourte? 💛

We're so pleased that this ring has now been collected because we've been itching to show it off! 🥳

This bespoke double-stranded Babbling Brook ring was made using the customer's own 9ct white gold and diamonds. It's a fun and elegant design, and we love how the rounded settings create twin trails across the finger - like watching air bubbles rise underwater. A pleasure to design and make!

If you love our style and would like your own bespoke ring, earrings, bracelet, or necklace making (because we don't just make rings, ha!) speak to one of our designers today! Send us a message, email, or find a link to our website in the bio.
