Production Specifics
All pieces are hand-crafted by silversmiths, chasers, polishers, hand engravers and gem setters. Hamilton and Inches are limited by the number of silversmiths they have in the workshop (they are also fabricating pieces for their own shop) but they will always try and accommodate bespoke requests. Jewellery repairs and finishing processes are also undertaken.
