Jan and Tom Wightman are a highly motivated brother and sister team whose design and metal working abilities are second to none. They have been designing and creating fine quality jewellery for over twenty-five years from their original premises, in Hinckley, Leicestershire, which incorporates a showroom and workshop. They also have their design studio and a showroom in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.

Jan & Tom Wightmans' work ethic is to stay true to a high standard of traditional craftsmanship and jewellery making, whilst whole heartedly embracing new technologies. This includes laser welding, which gives them incredible scope to create even more intricate forms.
Integral in their work is a flowing theme that explores and reflects the interaction of form and colour, and is often inspired by nature in all its shapes and hues.
Their jewellery pieces are designed to complement the wearer and make the most of the materials used, bringing out the full potential of the stones and metal, which are chosen with great care.
