THE HOUSE

Excellence, struck in.

Steelmark began as a small workshop of engravers and metalworkers off Hatton Garden, London's traditional home of fine metalwork. Fourteen years on, we remain deliberately small — every commission still passes through the same hands, from first sketch to final strike to finished polish.

We work for private clients, City livery companies, boutique hotels and a handful of tailoring houses who trust us with the marks that represent them. Nothing leaves the workshop until it has been checked against the original drawing, cut by cut.

HOW A COMMISSION IS MADE

From sketch to seal.

01

Design

We meet, sketch and agree the mark — a crest, monogram or motif — by hand before anything is digitised.

02

Digitise & Engrave-Set

The design is translated into a precise engraving path, then proofed against the original drawing.

03

Strike & Set

Engraved and cut by hand or machine, then set and finished in metal.

04

Finish & Seal

Polished, plated and checked edge-by-edge, then packaged for collection or delivery.

TRUSTED WITH THE DETAIL

What clients notice.

"They matched a ninety-year-old regimental crest from a single faded photograph. The reproduction is better than the original."

Private Client, Mayfair

"Every presentation piece we gift now comes from Steelmark. Consistent, fast, and it always fits the brief first time."

Operations Manager, City Livery Company

"I ordered a Sovereign tag for my father and a crest for the hotel in the same week. Same care went into both."

Founder, Boutique Hotel Group
