Our Workshop
Our workshop and design studios provide a range of new technologies such as PUK welding, CAD, computer engraving and milling, as well as traditional silversmithing and jewellery craft skills. We work with the complete spectrum of precious and non-ferrous metals, plastics and glass. We deliver accurate fast prototyping to completed article directly from our own manufacturing facilities including project management and consultancy.
Because most of our processes are carried out in house, you can be assured that we adhere to the highest standards of workmanship and ethical sourcing. Our commitment to quality is matched by our commitment to the environment,
that's why we only source precious stones and metals from certified dealers.

Richard and Serena work closely with their clients to produce work tailored to each individual’s needs. Once confirmed, the workshop launches into production, managed effectively with clear client communication at every step.
-
Richard’s extensive knowledge of silversmithing has led to Fox Silver producing outstanding work using traditional making methods. Many of Richard’s early works were painstakingly made by hand.
-
Electroforming is a metal forming process that uses electrodeposition to form, or grow, metal parts onto a model. Electrodeposition involves the electrochemical transfer of metal ions through an electrolyte to a surface from an anode.
Fox Silver provides electroforming services in platinum, pure silver and copper.
-
As well as traditional plating in copper, Fox Silver offers precious metal plating in gold, rhodium, silver, black and champagne gold.
-
The machining undertaken at Fox Silver is done using both traditional workshop machines as well as CAD / CAM processes, allowing precise and highly detailed manufacturing.
-
The welding facilities at Fox Silver ensure our work holds up no matter the complexity. The workshop’s attention detail has produced some of Formula 1’s most intricate trophies, among other examples of silverware.
-
Not to be limited by solely traditional making methods, Fox Silver employs 3D Printing to aid in the design process through prototyping. CAD modelling means complex forms can be achieved, pushing the limits of what silversmithing is capable of.
-
An X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) machine is used in testing jewellery and objects quickly. The XRF machine helps identify elements in the mat lial such as Cadmium, Ruthenium, Iridium, Osmium, etc. It is the principle method of testing metals for hallmarking and assaying.
