Welcome to Bespoke Silver, here our mission is to keep the traditional silversmithing skills alive. Tony originally founded his own company in 2003 after leaving Asprey of Bond Street, our company has grown from a solo venture originally called TSM Silversmith’s into a now thriving business known for its exquisite craftsmanship and dedication to quality.
Tony’s History
Tony began his journey as a silversmith at the prestigious Asprey’s of Bond Street, where he honed his skills under the apprenticeship scheme of the Goldsmiths’ Company. Each apprentice is indentured to a master from the beginning of their apprenticeship. Tony was lucky enough to be paired up with David Birch. David worked for Asprey’s for his entire working career starting as an Apprentice and working his way up to Foreman, he is known for being one of the best in the trade. In 2003, Tony decided to start his own business, working with many high-end retailers and jewellers in London. His reputation for excellence quickly spread, and Bespoke Silver became synonymous with bespoke, high-quality silver and gold pieces.

New Direction & Offerings
We’re excited to announce that over the next year, we’ll be expanding our offerings to include workshops in silversmithing and jewellery making. These hands-on sessions will provide a wonderful opportunity for you to learn the art of silver crafting in a relaxed and inspiring environment. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, our workshops will cater to all levels of experience.
In addition to our workshops, we’re also planning to offer weekend retreats in our charming wooden cabin nestled in the woods. These retreats will be perfect for friends and couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the creative process. Imagine spending a weekend surrounded by nature, learning new skills, and creating beautiful jewelry to take home.
