Although Guy Wakeling Jewellery had already been running for several years beforehand, we were very proud to secure this, our first custom-fitted, dedicated premises, in 2014. Since then, we’ve made ourselves feel quite at home here, and the location has served us perfectly.
Situated in Church Row Chambers in Longton, near Preston, the studio has both a fully equipped workshop and a showroom, meaning that Guy now has a permanent, dedicated area in which to work, whilst we both also have the perfect setting in which to display our stunning bespoke jewellery, as well as our ready-to-wear jewellery collection.
Also, as the biggest part of our work involves jewellery commissions from our customers, it’s lovely to have the space for a consultation area and a comfy waiting area, meaning that our customers can truly be at the centre of what we do. Whether you’re popping in to get an item of jewellery cleaned or repaired, or whether you’re having your first consultation to get a bespoke wedding or engagement ring made, you’ve now got a dedicated area to make the whole process enjoyable…plus you can even have a brew from our fancy new coffee machine!
It’s very important to us that our customers can see what we do, as so often the work we carry out is of great importance and requires such an element of trust; that’s why the layout at our studio is perfect for us.
Plus, our Longton premises are only a short journey from our home so, as the parents of two young children, it means we’re always close to home, family and school…perfect for running a successful family business!
So, if you’d like to come down and see Guy work or take a look at any of the pieces of jewellery we have for sale in stock, then please feel free to pop along and say hello. The workshop is located at 15 Church Row Chambers, Longton, Preston, Lancashire, PR4 5PN and our usual opening hours are Monday to Friday 09:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday 09:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Just a friendly word of warning though; although you are welcome to come and visit us during any of our opening hours, if you specifically wish to watch Guy at work then it is always advisable to ring us before you set off, just to make sure that Guy will be in his workshop during your visit.
