At Portcullis Jewels, the hand-made historic silver jewellery you see is designed for the present, but inspired by the past.

Each jewellery piece guards a memory of history from Roman to Medieval times, just as the portcullis (a large, heavy, spiked gate) guarded entry to castles and fortified towns during these eras.

Enjoy your visual journey through history, mystery and beauty with Portcullis Jewels.

Portcullis Jewels' workshop is now located in York's famous historic street The Shambles. Visitors welcome by appointment.
