About Mike Shorer Fine Jewellery
Mike Shorer Fine Jewellery is an independent, family-run jewellery studio specialising in bespoke fine jewellery, handcrafted in England. With over 250 years of jewellery-making heritage, the business combines traditional goldsmithing techniques with contemporary design to create exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces from engagement and wedding rings to one-off commissions.
Every item is designed and handmade by Mike Shorer, a seventh-generation goldsmith with decades of experience creating jewellery for private clients, luxury brands, and international retailers.
Bespoke fine jewellery, made by hand
Mike Shorer Fine Jewellery specialises in bespoke and commissioned jewellery, created entirely from scratch. Each piece begins with a personal consultation and is developed collaboratively, ensuring the finished jewellery reflects both the client’s story and Mike’s craftsmanship.
Our work includes:
- Bespoke engagement rings and wedding rings
- Custom fine jewellery commissions
- Historic jewellery reproductions
- Memorial and cremation ash jewellery
- Bespoke trophies and awards
Every piece is handcrafted using precious metals and carefully selected gemstones, with meticulous attention to detail at every stage of the process.
A legacy of craftsmanship
Jewellery making runs deep in the Shorer family. As a seventh-generation jeweller, Mike was introduced to the craft from an early age, learning traditional skills passed down through generations of goldsmiths.
Mike went on to train at the renowned Sir John Cass School of Art, Architecture and Design, before building a career that took him to the very top of the industry. He worked as a workshop manager for Theo Fennell in London, producing fine jewellery for prestigious clients including Harrods, Tiffany & Co. (New York), and Mitsukoshi (Japan).
In 1990, Mike founded Mike Shorer Fine Jewellery, later relocating the studio to Newhaven, East Sussex, where every piece is still made by hand using time-honoured techniques.
Jewellery with meaning
At the heart of Mike Shorer Fine Jewellery is a belief that jewellery should be personal, meaningful, and made to last. Whether creating an engagement ring, a family heirloom, or a memorial piece, Mike works closely with each client to ensure their jewellery tells a story and can be treasured for generations.
Clients are welcome to arrive with a clear idea or simply an initial concept — the design process is always collaborative, personal, and unhurried.
Giving back: charity & community
Mike Shorer Fine Jewellery is proud to support charitable causes, particularly True Heroes Racing, which supports wounded, injured, and sick UK service personnel and veterans through motorsport and recovery programmes.
Mike regularly contributes his skills by creating bespoke trophies and awards to support the charity's fundraising and awareness, combining craftsmanship with a commitment to giving back.
Beyond charity work, Mike is deeply involved in the local business community and currently serves as President of the Newhaven Chamber of Commerce, championing independent businesses, craftsmanship, and economic growth in East Sussex.
