Patrick’s Travels to Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is sometimes called the Pearl of the Indian Ocean which is an entirely fitting compliment. An island of incredible natural beauty with an equally enchanting...
Patrick Wyatt
Patrick is a country boy at heart, growing up in a village in Kent before following the bright lights to London as adulthood beckoned. He ended up in the jewellery profession through a chance recommendation. 12 years of working with fine antique jewellery and manufacturing fine gem-set jewellery ensued. In that time he travelled far and visited the great jewellery shows of the world such as Tokyo, Inhorgenta and Basle. There’s nothing like making thousands of pieces, knowing each must be perfect, to learn the staples and traditions of the craft. The result was a deep understanding of fine jewellery from many periods. But something more was needed. Patrick decided it was time to start his own brand of jewellery to get closer to the wearer of his pieces. A love of people and of gemstones is what emerged as the heart of his approach. Patrick found that with gemstones as with people, it is the individual character that is most interesting and mysterious. A passion for seeking out and making available the finest gemstones to his clients motivates Patrick. Seeing people happy and the medium for that being jewellery, is his vision for Wyatt Jewellery.
Geoffrey Murray
Geoffrey was born and raised in London. A creative soul from a family of artists. It was in coming to work for Patrick in 2004 that he found his path in life. He loved Hatton Garden immediately. The sense of community, like a village within a city, the camaraderie, the specialist knowledge, witnessing the skill of craftspeople and the Dickensian warren of workshops that make up the fabric of the place all persuaded him he had found something very special. Geoffrey came to love creating the finest jewellery, working with the best craftsmen available. Creating jewellery that is fresh but also in keeping with the traditions of design that have been developed by generations of jewellers allows Geoffrey to explore his own creative vision. After 20 years of sourcing gemstones and diamonds, designing and making bespoke pieces with Patrick, our first house collection is an expression of this.
