Following UK Government direction, we are pleased to confirm that Ottewill Silversmiths are back open and manufacturing again.
The wellbeing of our staff remains our top priority and we are ensuring that all safety precautions and social distancing measures are being observed at all times.
As a result, there will be a slightly reduced number of staff in our workshop and all our office based staff are working from home and continue to be contactable via email or mobile phone.
However, please be aware that we are not currently accepting clients into the workshop and are not accepting any new repairs either dropped off or via post.
We look forward to working with you on projects going forward. If we can be of service, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

We were very pleased to see the Bledisloe Trophy replica being presented for the first time at the launch of the Ahuwhenua Horticulture Competition for 2020 during Horticulture New Zealand's Gala dinner. 

Working closely with The Village Goldsmiths, based in Wellington, New Zealand, we replicated an existing trophy from measurements, patterns and sketches of the engraving of the original trophy that stayed in New Zealand. 

We were delighted to see how close the match was to the original trophy and were proud to see the trophy welcomed ceremonially by lwi (tribal) representatives of the Tainui tribe and hear that the trophy already has a strong mauri (life force) which we have been told is due to the care, craftsmanship and wonderful spirit that surrounded the making of the trophy.

'We have just uploaded a new YouTube video to our channel here showing the making of the 'Blind Leading the Blind' centrepiece which was commissioned by the Officers' Mess of the Defence CBRN Centre to mark 100 years of counter chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear training at Winterbourne Gunner. 

We were pleasantly surprised to see an article about our recent ICC Cricket World Cup replica trophy commission in one of our trade's most important publications, Benchpeg. You can read it here.

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to bring a trophy design into reality? Here's a behind the scenes video showing how we created three new trophies presented for the first time at last year's Henley Royal Regatta. It was such an enjoyable project to be involved in because we got to work very closely with the Committee of Henley Royal Regatta who, as you will see, were very keen to be as hands on as possible - which we always encourage!
