Dower & Hall

What Dower & Hall does

Dower & Hall is a UK-based, privately held jewellery company founded in 1990 that designs, handcrafts, and sells handmade recycled-metal jewellery direct to consumers. The company operates from a London studio and showroom and a retail store in Princes Square, Glasgow, supported by a Shopify-powered global e-commerce storefront shipping to 30+ countries with multi-currency support. Its core technology is traditional handcraftsmanship applied to 100% recycled sterling silver, gold vermeil, and solid gold (9k, 14k, 18k), combined with ethically sourced gemstones and freshwater pearls; production is in-house and largely made-to-order, with bespoke design as a service offering.

The product portfolio spans fashion jewellery (Nomad, T-Bar, Tutti Frutti, Twinkle, Dewdrop, Talisman) and fine jewellery (Cascade, Stargazer, North Star, Precious Pearl, Narrative) sold across price points from under £100 to over £13,000. Signature collections include the trademarked Luna Pearls™, Nomad Nuggets™, and Twinkle™ Rings. Beyond products, the company operates an expanding in-store services portfolio — permanent jewellery welding, ear piercing, gold exchange, jewellery workshops (Glasgow Beading Parties), and virtual personal shopping — alongside a corporate gifting channel, a D&H Rewards loyalty programme, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later integration.

The revenue model is direct-to-consumer one-time product sales plus ancillary services, with no disclosed wholesale or licensing income. Target customers are individuals (predominantly women but with a men's edit) buying for personal wear, gifting, weddings/engagement, and symbolism, served across the UK and internationally via DTC ecommerce. No external funding, M&A, or leadership changes are disclosed in the available data.
