Gallery/Workshop for handcrafted jewellery in London
The Autrum Gallery (the name refers to both Aurum, the Latin word
for gold and Marion’s own surname) opened in Central
London’s Marylebone Village in December 1999. This refreshingly
uncluttered venue, with its simple décor and unusual
handcrafted jewellery pieces, immediately caught the attention of people
living and working in the area. They were also fascinated to watch Marion at work.
An integrated workbench
Marion Autrum imported the novel idea (common in Germany
but highly unusual in England) of integrating a workbench
within the Gallery. Since then the Gallery has continued
to set an individual path, attracting customers jaded by
mass-market jewellery and looking for an original approach
to handcrafted jewellery and a sense of flair. They are naturally drawn to the workbench
that sends a strong statement of vibrant creativity.
