Christmas is the time of year when you can turn your dreams into reality: wearing the jewellery you’ve been dreaming of.

But how do you choose the right jewellery from the huge number of shops out there? Here are three artisans who can tell you more about their creations than anyone else. They will be delighted to welcome you and advise you on their chosen field.
