Audrey & Roman · Bath, England · est. 2003

After 22 years on the bench,
we're closing the workshop.

Roman was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2023. We tried to keep working for two years. We can't any more. Every piece left in the Bath cabinet — hallmarked at Birmingham Assay Office, signed by Roman on the inside — is now between 40% and 80% off.

We are not restocking. We are not extending. When the last ring goes, that's the end of Audrey & Roman.

After 22 years, his hands are telling him it's time.
The man on the inside of every piece

This is Roman.

Every piece in the cabinet carries his mark, engraved on the inside, where only the wearer ever sees it. He hand-set the last 11,000+ stones we ever sold.

He was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2023. We are closing the workshop while he can still hold a piece in his own hand long enough to sign it.

Once these pieces are gone, Roman's mark will not appear on another one.

As covered in the British press
Chapter I · How it began

2003. A side street in Bath. One bench.

Two hands. One bench. A jeweller's loupe. No retail strategy, no business plan — just the belief that a piece of jewellery worth wearing for a lifetime is worth making slowly.

A 22-year address in Bath.

Bath is a city that has carved beauty from limestone for two thousand years. We took a quiet door on a side street and started making fine jewellery — by hand, one piece at a time.

Every piece hallmarked at Birmingham Assay Office. Every stone chosen in person. No two pieces ever the same.

“If a piece doesn't make you stop and breathe — we don't make it.”
Chapter II · 2023

Then Roman's hands stopped listening.

Parkinson's does not knock. It arrives like a slow tide. A soldering iron becomes too heavy. A setting needle wavers where it once held still for an hour.

The hands that built this atelier can no longer hold the work.

For two years we tried — lighter tools, bracing, a younger apprentice. Audrey & Roman was never a brand. It was two people, at one bench, finishing each piece together.

We're closing while the work is still ours. While every piece in the cabinet still carries Roman's signature on the inside.

“We'd rather close honestly than dilute the name to stay open.”

Chapter III · The 22 years

One workshop. One bench. Twenty-two years.

A short timeline of the moments that shaped Audrey & Roman — and the one that's ending it.

2003

A small bench in Bath

Audrey and Roman open a side-street workshop in Bath. One soldering iron. One loupe. Every piece hallmarked at Birmingham Assay Office, then and now.

2007

The first commissioned ring

A Sri-Lankan sapphire, set in 18ct gold. The customer brings her mother in to see it. The mother cries. We start to understand what we're really making.

2011

Our gem houses

Two family-run suppliers — Colombo and Bogotá — agree to cut stones to our spec, not theirs. These are relationships, not contracts.

2015

Roman signs every piece

From this year, nothing leaves the bench without Roman's mark engraved on the inside. The mark is now on over 11,000 pieces in homes across the UK.

2020

Lockdown. Handwritten dispatch.

The workshop stays open. Audrey writes every dispatch note by hand. Customers post photos back wearing them — the closest we'll come to a community.

2023

Roman's diagnosis

Parkinson's. We don't tell anyone for a year. We try lighter tools, bracing, a younger apprentice. The work continues — for a while.

2026

The final collection

Every piece in the cabinet now is one Roman has signed. When they're gone, the Audrey & Roman name closes with them. We are not restocking and not reopening online.

Chapter IV · A letter from Audrey

To everyone who walked through our door.

Audrey · May 2026 · Bath

When we opened in 2003 we thought we'd last five years. You gave us twenty-two.

You came back for engagement rings, then for wedding bands. You brought your daughters in for their eighteenth birthdays. Some of you brought your grandchildren.

In 2023, Roman was diagnosed with Parkinson's. We tried, quietly, to keep working. We cannot make pieces the way we used to, and we will not sell ones we wouldn't be proud of. So we're sending the last of our work out into the world, at prices that say thank you — not profit.

Most pieces are reduced 40–70%. Selected pieces are up to 80% off. Old tags are shown beside the new price. Every order is hallmarked at Birmingham Assay Office, dispatched from Bath within 48 hours, with our 14-day no-questions return — and our lifetime cleaning and polish, even after we close the door.

We will not extend this sale. We cannot— Roman cannot make more, and we will not put anyone else's work under our name.

— Audrey
Co-Founder · Audrey & Roman, Bath

This is the letter we sent our regulars.

Handwritten by Audrey, signed by Roman, posted to every customer who had ever ordered from us. Some had moved house. Some had moved countries. Some replied. Many cried.

We thought you should see it too.

Chapter V · The final collection

Every piece, signed and one of one.

The last pieces we will ever make under the Audrey & Roman name. 18ct gold and silver. Ethically-sourced sapphires from Sri Lanka, emeralds from Colombia. Hand-set. Hallmarked.

An example: Amethyst Halo.

Was £245. Now £34.95. That's £210.05 saved on the last unit in the cabinet — an 85% mark-down, because we never reordered the amethysts for this design.

Most of the cabinet sits at 40–70% off. A handful of pieces, like this halo, are deeper.

“Old tag shown beside the new price. No fake RRPs. No up-to-X gimmicks.”
Amethyst halo ring, £245 marked down to £34.95Sapphire ring on velvetEmerald drop earrings on linenDiamond bracelet on velvet pillow

Sapphires from Sri Lanka. Emeralds from Colombia.

Twenty-two years of relationships with the same family-run gem houses. Stones cut to our spec, not theirs. Every facet signed off in person by Roman before a single setting was cast.

When this collection sells out, those relationships end with us.

Made to be worn, not stored.

We didn't make these to live in a jewellery box. Every piece is light enough for a Tuesday and heirloom enough for a Saturday wedding. Wear it. Travel with it. Pass it on.

“The best compliment a piece can ever get is that you forgot you were wearing it — until someone stopped you in the street.”

What our customers have said.

Real reviews from Audrey & Roman regulars across the UK, collected over the past two years. Verified on Trustpilot under audreyromanjewels.com.

I bought my wedding band from Audrey eleven years ago. It still looks like the day Roman polished it. I'm buying my daughter's first pair of earrings here before they close — there won't be anywhere else like it.

We drove down from Edinburgh specifically. Roman sat with us for forty minutes choosing the sapphire. They have ruined every other jeweller for me.

I almost didn't believe the closing sale was real. Then Audrey rang me back personally to talk through resizing. You don't get a phone call from a real jeweller anywhere else any more.

Chapter VI · No restock

When a piece sells, it's gone.

We never made the same design twice. Every piece you see is the only one we ever made — and the only one we ever will.

First to see it. Last to own it.

There is no “back in stock” email. No waiting list. When the cabinet is empty, the workshop closes and the website comes down.

We tell you this not to pressure — but because it is, simply, the truth.

Walk past us before we close.

Audrey & Roman Ltd — Companies House registered, est. 2003. Same side street. Same shop window. Same hand-painted sign Roman finished himself one Sunday in 2003.

The “CLOSING SALE” card in the window went up last month. It comes down when the cabinet is empty.

Old tag photographed beside the new price. No fake “up to” without anchor.

Signed by Roman

Every piece engraved with his mark on the inside. Certificate of provenance in the box.

Audrey, Tuesday–Saturday, 10–5. Real human. Same number as 2003.

Before you order

The questions our regulars asked.

Plain answers. If yours isn't here, Audrey is on audreyromanjewels.com/contact — same number, same name, same human.

What happens to my guarantee after you close the workshop?
Every piece carries our lifetime polish & clean promise — and it does not expire when the workshop does. We've committed to honour all aftercare personally for at least the next ten years, posting from our Bath address. The promise is in your gift box, in writing, signed by Roman.
Will you continue to honour valuations after the atelier closes?
Yes. Every piece over £300ships with a full independent insurance valuation certificate from a Member of the Institute of Registered Valuers. Once issued, that certificate is recognised by all UK home-insurance providers indefinitely, whether Audrey & Roman are still trading or not.
Can I still get my piece resized or repaired after the workshop closes?
Yes. Resizes are honoured free for the first 12 months. After that, and after we close, we have arranged for one of Bath's remaining independent goldsmiths to honour repairs and resizes at cost — for every piece carrying Roman's mark, for as long as the mark is worn.
Is this closing sale genuinely real?
Yes. Audrey & Roman Ltd is registered at Companies House (est. 2003) and the dissolution timeline begins once the cabinet is empty. The workshop on Quiet Street, Bath, has a hand-painted “CLOSING SALE” card in the window. You are welcome to walk past us before we close.
How much is actually reduced?
Most pieces are reduced 40–70%. A small number of one-of-one pieces are reduced up to 80%. The original hand-tag is photographed beside the new price on every product page. No fake RRPs, no “was” prices we never sold at.
Is the gold and silver properly hallmarked?
Every piece carries the Birmingham Assay Office hallmark — the same standard the workshop has used since 2003. A macro-photograph of the hallmark is shown on each product page. We are a member of the British Jewellers' Association.
Where do you ship — and how quickly?
Free, tracked, fully-insured Royal Mail Special Delivery to anywhere in the UK. Dispatch within 48 hours from Bath. International orders pause during the closing sale so we can focus on UK customers in time.
Can I return a piece if it doesn't fit or I don't love it?
Yes. 14-day no-questions returns on every piece, including during the closing sale. Free return label included with the order. Returns honoured even after the workshop closes — we hold a post-box for six months past closing day.
Will you discount further if I wait?
No. Prices are set now and will not move down again. They may, on the deeper-discounted pieces, move upas the lowest-priced one-of-ones sell — we're not running an inverted auction. If something has caught your eye today, please don't expect to see it cheaper next week.
Will you extend the sale?
We can't. Roman cannot make more pieces, and we're not buying anyone else's in to fill the cabinet. When the cabinet is empty, the website comes down and Audrey & Roman closes for good.
Is each piece really one of a kind?
Yes. In 22 years we never made the same design twice. When a piece sells, the listing comes down within minutes. There is no “back in stock”, no waiting list, no reproduction.
Can I speak to a real person before I buy?
Audrey is on the phone, Tuesday to Saturday, 10am – 5pm UK time. Same landline number as 2003. Call before you order if a piece is worth more than a quick scroll.
What happens to the after-sales service after you close?
Every piece arrives with our lifetime polish & clean promise. Send your piece to the Bath address any time after closing — for at least the next ten years, we'll honour it personally. Resizes are honoured for the first 12 months on us.
