More about him: Born in 1971 in the vibrant city of Liverpool, England a place famous for all aspects of creativity and innovation including the Arts, Music and of course Football, Stuart Hughes began to gather all the citys success stories to begin his own.

Along with his wife Katherine Hughes he started to get the wheels in motion in forming Goldstriker International which was the backbone for creating these wonderful exclusive new projects. The items had to be unique with very high attention to detail even down to the handmade boxes to house such beauty.

Along with Stuart’s exquisite idea for design and Katherine’s sheer eye for beauty the production began. The idea simple in letting the technology embrace luxury.

The layout had to be genuine, never to project an illusion most importantly in the strict non use of computer generated images which unfortunately appear quite regularly on the internet these day
