A taste of the district
Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter is Britain's workshop — Europe's largest cluster of jewellery businesses, making around 40% of everything produced in the UK and hallmarking it under the city's own Anchor mark. Where other districts trade and sell, the Quarter makes and strikes: gold and silver worked at the bench, then sent to the Assay Office to be tested. These are the pieces that trade is built on, sourced on Amazon so a taste of the workshop can travel home.
