Pruden and Smith's old workshop

A brief history of Pruden and Smith

Pruden and Smith was founded in 1988, by Anton Pruden and Rebecca Smith. Beginning as experts in silverware, we moved into award-winning jewellery design and making in the early 2000s – maintaining our heritage as silversmiths and using traditional techniques to influence our designs.

Our jewellery collections and the inspiration behind them

Discover the inspiration behind each of our jewellery collections, designed by Rebecca Smith. The natural world has been a source of influence behind most of the designs, which is visible in the rugged textures, natural shapes, and organic feel of our jewellery.
