UK Specialists in Hand Cut Gemstones and Australian Opals
We pride ourselves in offering you unique, bespoke, fully handmade pieces of jewellery in a variety of techniques. This is why we hand cut, carve, finish the majority of our own gemstones, specialising in Australian opals, to ensure each piece is as individual as you. We carry out all processes ourselves in our Brighton workshop & studio.
If you're looking for something particularly bespoke then contact us below to choose your own gemstone or opal from our collection, and we will make something to your own requirements.
We are now able to resize our rings, so if you see something you fancy and its the wrong size then send us a PM.
Wired & Water Artwork by Sarah Allison
Emerging from a love of working with wire in jewellery making, and combined with a love of painting, Sarah also produces original pieces of mixed media artwork.
Each piece of artwork is framed and contains an original hand wire sculpture, an original watercolour painting, and some come with gold/fine silver leaf highlights. Whilst there may be similar pieces, you can guarantee no two pieces are the same. No prints are available.
Gift Wrapping
As well as free P&P, we are also offering a gift wrapped service and can send direct to the recipients address, on your chosen date! Just message us with your purchase with your specific requests- we will email back to confirm all details.

Let customers speak for us
I fell in love with a Damascus wrapped silver band I found on the website that was perfect for my wedding ring. It was way too big though, so I messaged John… he offered to make a custom ring in the right size matching that style, and sent me photos of the work in progress along the way. The finished product was a unique, bespoke masterpiece, made in less than 3 weeks, which didn’t cost the earth. I’m looking forward to wearing this forever.
Incredible designs, incredible quality, incredible service.
Thank you!
Beautifully made. I’m sure the recipient will love it.
I bought an opal necklace a few months ago from Glitter and Gem, and my wife liked it so much she wanted some earrings for Christmas to match.
There's always a bit of a leap of faith buying jewelry online, but I am impressed by both quality of design and speed of delivery.
Very quick delivery, excellent 6
The pendant arrived well packaged and in excellent condition. I was wary about ordering jewellery online but the pendant was exactly as illustrated. It is a high quality item and I am sure it will be a much appreciated Christmas gift.
Thank you so much. Stunning opal, beautifully crafted ring and great customer service.
I have purchased jewellery from Glitter & Gem on a number of times now for birthdays and other special occasions. Each time the items have been of very good quality and excellently designed. I will certainly be buying items from them again.
Everyone loves it
Beautiful. Well made. Chain perfect length
Highly recommended!
Wife loves it, thanks
Got my gems really prompt
Beautiful ring, really pleased with it. Excellent communication and very helpful with purchase. Thanks
The opal pendant I ordered looks amazing, When my wife sees this on Christmas Day her eyes will pop with the amazing reds, yellow and blue colours.
This was a gift for my wife and there was a small issue with clasp on the necklace, so we were a little disappointed. 'Glitter and Gem' dealt with problem straight away and resolved issue quickly, to the delight of my wife.
I would recommend them and we look forward to doing further shopping.
