From the heart of Manchester, a tale of tradition, passion, and creativity weaves through the fabric of AKA Bespoke, a family jeweller since 1910. A journey that began with my grandfather’s vision has evolved into an ode to artistry and innovation.
It All Started with Grandfather:
Picture this: the early 1900s, a time when craftsmanship and tradition meant everything. It was during this era that my grandfather took the first steps towards what would become the legacy of AKA Bespoke. His dedication to the art of jewellery-making sparked our family’s enduring love affair with bespoke craftsmanship.
A Journey of Dual Passions:
Before taking the reins of AKA Bespoke, I traversed the realms of academia as a senior lecturer at the university. While my passion for teaching knew no bounds, there was an unyielding pull toward the heritage that beckoned me back to the family business. Eager to bridge tradition and innovation, I embarked on a journey to infuse new life into the timeless art of handcrafted jewellery.
The Inside Joke of AKA:
AKA Bespoke—we’re more than just a name. It’s a quirk infused with history and playfulness, all underpinned by a narrative that’s our own. The “AKA” meaning “also known as” has been a tongue-in-cheek secret, a nod to our role in creating jewellery for other renowned shops behind the scenes. Now, it’s time to let you in on the fun. AKA Bespoke embodies a legacy of crafting extraordinary jewellery, not just for others, but for you.
Unveiling the Essence of AKA Bespoke:
For years, our atelier has humbly fashioned breath-taking pieces that have adorned many a prestigious collection—pieces that have found their way into the spotlight under others’ names. Today, as the veil is lifted, our story is one of intrinsic artistry and unspoken acclaim. AKA Bespoke is the beating heart of quality, integrity, and the genuine essence of bespoke craftsmanship.
At AKA Bespoke, every creation speaks volumes, bearing the tale of tradition, passion, and innovation. With our legacy in hand, we invite you to become part of our narrative, to revel in the bespoke journey that resonates with artistry, heritage and luxury.
