View Sapphire ringsPayne & Son was founded in 1790 and after eight generations is still run by members of the same family.
John Payne opened a silversmiths and jewellers in Wallingford in 1790, with other shops opening in Abingdon 1825, Banbury 1842 and Tunbridge Wells 1870, all run by various members of the Payne family. George Septimus Payne inherited the Abingdon shop in 1874, but 14 years later, he decided to move to Oxford.
Payne & Son (Goldsmiths) started trading in Oxford in January 1889 and have been at 131 High Street ever since.
Our HistoryBrian makes beautiful handmade jewellery pieces inspired by the landscapes of the Welsh countryside where he lives. The vibrant colours in his works are achieved by anodising Niobium. Appling various voltages creates different thicknesses of oxide on the surface of the metal, and like a prism, the light reflects off the surface creating a colour.
