Neil Rayment
Neil Rayment's journey in the world of jewellery began with Fine Art studies at Canterbury University. Furthering his skills at the prestigious Medway College of Art and Design, he honed his craft meticulously.
This path led him to Hatton Garden in London, where he apprenticed under a revered silversmith. Here, Neil absorbed the intricacies of jewellery creation, laying the foundation for his artistic understanding.
At 23, he launched his own venture in London, showcasing innovation and exceptional craftsmanship. In just three years, he secured the 'Young Designer of the Year' title at the UK Jewellery Awards, celebrating his premier collection 'Genesis' as a masterpiece of creative brilliance.
Neil's journey amassed industry honours, including a distinguished Kayman award and multiple Goldsmith's Craftsmanship and Design awards, reflecting his unswerving dedication.
A captivating twist saw Neil venture into acting, featuring in the iconic Matrix series. Amid Hollywood's allure, he not only acted but also crafted bespoke wedding rings for co-star Laurence Fishburne.
Yet, his heart remained rooted in jewellery. Guided by his passion, Neil returned to goldsmithing. Today, his craft thrives in his Cardiff Bay studio shopfront—a place where creativity melds with expertise, turning precious materials into timeless treasures, each carrying the imprint of his remarkable journey.
We recently had a ring redesigned by Neil Rayment. To say we were impressed would be understatement! Neil welcomed us with warm smile, friendly personality and was very professional. He listened to exactly what we wanted and when we received the ring it was absolutely stunning! It was exactly what we wanted and we would highly recommend him.
We gave Ben his signet ring today for his 21st birthday. He was stunned by it, really lost for words. Knowing the ring has been made from three items of gold jewellery inherited from both sides of Ben’s family makes it particularly special and unique. We wanted to thank you again for the skill and craftsmanship you put into created such a beautiful and classic ring. It couldn’t have been any more perfect. Thank you.
I wanted to do something really special for my mums 60th. She absolutely loves her Norfolk Terrier so got this crazy idea to create a bespoke pendant for a necklace using a photo of 'Teddie'. I had a look on Neil's website and loved his work so I sent him the photo and after only a few weeks this beautiful pendant with incredible detail and finish arrived in the post. I was absolutely thrilled and impressed with how much the item looked like 'Teddie'. I absolutely love it and my mum will be delighted. Thank you so much to Neil and his team; such craftsmanship and talent.
