The Pateley Jewellery Quarter initiative was created by established jeweller Joanne Gowan.
With all three of our jewellery studios situated in one quarter of the King Street Workshop area, the idea of a Jewellery Quarter naturally came to us.
Jewellery quarters exist all over the world because visitors find a choice of different designers and style all located in one area, the most convenient way to choose jewellery. It’s somewhere you can explore, meet the makers and discover individual and one-off pieces in a relaxed setting.
Resident Jewellers are :
Joanne Gowan studio 8
Joanne has worked as a jeweller for more than 40 years and has lived and worked in Pateley Bridge since 2024. Her fine art jewellery using traditional handmaking techniques uses 18ct gold, silver, and platinum and features unusual gemstones in distinctive cuts chosen to suit each individual design.
Alice Clarke studio 9
Alice returned to her hometown of Pateley Bridge in 2024 after running her jewellery business in the Falkland Islands for several years. Her work draws inspiration from wild landscapes, from the Falklands to the Yorkshire moors. Designs begin as wax carvings before being cast in-house and finished with stones carefully set by hand.
Debby Moxon and Ian Simm
Moxon & Simm worked from Studio 1 at King Street Workshops for more than 30 years. Their studio was destroyed in the 2024 fire and they are currently moving into studio 10.
Our styles are all very different - from handmade gold, platinum and gemstone jewellery to wax-carved cast pieces and modern coloured titanium designs.
Between us there’s something for every taste and budget, and visitors can either buy from our collections or commission a completely one-off piece.
​
The first Pateley Jewellery Quarter event is being held on 25th & 26th April with 4 invited
Yorkshire designer jewellers with pop-up stalls in Studio 6: Saima Jewel (Shipley), Mark Veevers and Adele Taylor (Sheffield), and Karen Ward (Selby, York).
We hope this will establish Pateley Bridge as a destination for jewellery lovers and visitors looking for locally made work.
