C W SELLORS JEWELLERY DESIGN CENTRE, CARSINGTON
The Home of British Jewellery Design & Manufacturing Excellence
In June 2015, the Derbyshire Dales District Council planning meeting committee resoundingly approved Application No. 14/00796/FUL for the build of C W Sellors’ National Gemstone and Jewellery Design Centre on the 18 acres of land the company had acquired at Carsington, Derbyshire.
The planning committee stated, “The proposal will deliver economic benefits and support a prosperous rural economy.” With such an endorsement and working with multi-award-winning local architects, the process of turning our vision of delivering state-of-the-art jewellery design and manufacturing facilities and leading visitor destination could begin.

Our Ambition
At the heart of the Carsington development, it has always been our ambition and desire to allow a special place for our in-house skill base and services to grow, whilst offering an industry-leading facility to attract the finest new talent.
With these fundamental goals combined, this will allow us to showcase the very best in British jewellery design to both a national and international audience.
World Class Facilities
The centre will combine C W Sellors’ jewellery design and manufacturing operations in one location as well as offering a retail jewellery boutique, exhibition space, visitor tours, experiences, and lectures. It will also provide training and short courses for jewellery design and manufacturing as well as having sufficient space to host large events and exhibitions. In continuation of our hospitality elsewhere in the business, there will also be a café/catering facility on-site overlooking the reservoir at Carsington.
Central Location
The location of the development is in the centre of an area that attracts 40 million visitors per year and where 20 million people live within one hour’s journey of the site.
We hope ultimately for all our team, customers and visitors, the Carsington project provides a demonstration of our commitment to growth and innovation and seen as a natural extension of the business’s ethos of designing and manufacturing its own jewellery, which is a significant part of our differentiation from the rest of the industry.
