Abigail Buckingham

Abigail is an award winning jeweller based at The Old Tileworks on the banks of the River Humber.

​

A second generation jeweller; her father is a well established local Silversmith with over 40 years in the trade so it is safe to say that designing and making jewellery is in her blood.

 

At the age of 17 Abigail studied at the prestigious Goldsmiths Centre in London on their Foundation programme, an intense year long course learning all aspects of the trade from engraving to enamelling; it was here she was awarded The Benvenuto Cellini award and completed her course with a distinction. Upon completion of the programme Abigail moved back home to Lincolnshire to train in the art of Diamond Mounting with her father for four years. In 2017 Abigail completed her apprenticeship after creating and presenting her masterpiece to the wardens at Goldsmiths Hall, this was when she was awarded her Freedom of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and her Freedom of the City of London.

 

In 2018 Abigail set up her company where she specialises in creating bespoke jewellery and remodelling family heirloom jewellery to be loved and worn for future generations.
