Cleave designs, makes and supplies the finest insignia in the world, working in gold, silver and vitreous enamel, with gem-setting as a speciality. Our craft is carried on today by hand at our workshops and offices at 1 Buckingham Place, a few hundred yards from Buckingham Palace.
A walk in from the street.
You are welcome to visit us at 1 Buckingham Place by appointment. In the house you can see pieces we have made for moments in British history, and how the same work is done by hand today. Bring whatever you have in mind, and we will tell you how it could be made.
