Gordon Hogg trained as a silver and goldsmith at Medway College of Art from 1981 to 1985.

He completed a Technical Diploma in Silversmithing and Design followed by a B. Technical Higher National Diploma.During the four years of the course, he studied extensively in design and practical silversmithing under highly experienced and professional silversmithing tutors.

From 1988 Gordon worked for Alexander De Vroomen.

This company supplied contemporary jewellery to the European market and larger objects such as compact cases, clocks and trinket boxes in 18 carat gold set with precious stones and enamelled to exceptional standards. Whilst here Gordon undertook a large and decorative centre piece featuring a water garden scene for a Middle Eastern client.

In 1990 he became self employed and set up a jewellery shop in Cobham High Street in Surrey. During the next 8 years the company traded in silverwear and jewellery both manufacturing and retailing on site. A wide variety of antique silver and jewellery items were sourced from auction and antique dealers in London and the South East, many of which required extensive restoration prior to sale.

Gordon would search for items to meet clients special requirements. A significant quantity of work during this period was related to the replacement of stolen or lost items of jewellery and silver for customers as directed by their insurance companies. This involved working closely with customers to ensure that pieces were matched exactly.

Gordon also carried out restoration work for the Royal Collection at St James’s Palace working closely in conjunction with their conservators. Work included gilding statues and replacing missing parts from Fabergé objects.

The Company employed 8 staff including salesmen and craftsmen and was expanded into two premises, behind which an extensive workshop was built. This enabled the retail operation and work shop to become self-sufficient.

From 1999 to present day Gordon has been self employed based in a work shop and office at Rosebery Avenue off Hatton Garden. As well as private customers Gordon has provided work for several companies including Theo Fennell.
