Book Lores – Bespoke Ethical Jewellery Studio in Bristol
Lores is a Bristol-based, booking-only jewellery studio led by multi-award-winning designer and gemmologist Lorna McNaught (FGA, DGA). Situated in the creative heart of Bedminster at Thames Side Studios, Lores is celebrated for crafting refined, meaningful jewellery with a deep commitment to ethical sourcing, sustainability, and personal storytelling.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in the UK using ethically mined gemstones, recycled precious metals, and environmentally conscious packaging — including biodegradable inks and wildflower-seeded thank-you notes. Whether commissioning a bespoke design using heirloom gold or selecting a one-of-a-kind piece, clients are invited to experience a slower, more intentional approach to fine jewellery.
Consultations are available by online appointment only. A £30 booking fee applies, fully redeemable against any purchase or bespoke commission. Start your jewellery journey by booking an appointment through OCSNLY.
Specialty
