Design and Production

[edit]

Bunney produces jewellery using sterling silver and other precious metals. All items are made in England, with techniques such as hand-polishing, hammering, and hallmarking completed by craftspeople in Bunney's London workshop and regional facilities in traditional jewellery-making districts.[1][3][4] The product range includes rings, bracelets, chains, earrings, cufflinks, and charms, designed with a focus on longevity and everyday wear.
