Manufacturers of gold jewellery to include bangles, bracelets, rings, earrings and chains, Smith & Pepper established a reputation for quality and stylish jewels.
Creating a wonderful output of jewels to include snake necklaces and bangles, swallow jewellery, chain bracelets, hinged bangles, cufflinks, charm bracelets, as well as gem-set pendants, brooches and earrings, Smith & Pepper produced a fabulous array of wearable, everyday jewellery that continues to sell well under the hammer. Production continued for much of the 20th century, until 1981 when the Smith family retired, leaving all of their goods, tools and equipment behind.
