Historic Jewellery Reproduction is unique in that we were the first and only jewellery company in the world allowed to mould the original Museum exhibits, therefore EVERY detail is exactly the same as the Museum original. Be Authentic! Wear a piece of History !

HJR was established in 1969 by Peter Shorer FIIC and was the first jewellery company in the world creating replicas moulded directly from the original pieces. This was due to the pioneering archaeological techniques he perfected over 40 years at the British Museum. As a seventh generation Goldsmith I am continuing his passion for making superb craftsmanship from previous millennia accessible to all, allowing you to “wear a piece of history”
