Woodbridge Jewellery Workshop

On leaving school in 1970 Rick attended the Sir John Cass School of Art and Allied Trades, studying the pre- apprentice course. He was fortunate enough to receive an apprenticeship in diamond mounting with the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, at the Crown Jewellers Asprey of Bond Street.

After five years he gained his indentures and "passed out" becoming a Freeman of the City of London. During this time he made jewellery for the rich and famous - including Princess Anne, Ringo Starr, and the Sultan of Oman. He went on to set up his own workshop specialising in one - off hand made pieces and commissions, first in Brentwood and later with his wife Maggie in Colchester.
