Description
Established in 1786, Deakin & Francis is England’s oldest family jeweller and shares QEST’s passion for British craftsmanship. They create a range of bespoke items available from their Piccadilly Arcade store and online.
Henry Deakin, a seventh-generation family member to be part of the business, has seen the work of QEST firsthand through the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths as well as in Birmingham’s jewellery quarter. As a jeweller and guardian of the Birmingham Assay Office, he is committed to keeping traditional crafts alive and was keen to sponsor QEST by including jewellery that applies the creative tradition of enamelling that dates back centuries.
