Medals or medallions have been designed, crafted, and presented to recognise achievement and bravery since antiquity. They are a symbol of great pride for those who wear them. Those competing in major tournaments and prestigious competitions deserve custom medals that reflect the quality and value of their contribution and accomplishment.
For every underdog who defied the odds, for every humanitarian that saved numerous lives, and for every brave soldier that put their lives on the line, placing your medal on their chest will be one of the most joyous moments of their lives. We are a world-renowned custom medals designer and maker, you have come to the right place.
Our world-class London-based design studio and silver workshops dedicate many months to designing and manufacturing custom medals, ribbons and cases so that the worthy champions receive a medal that is as rare and exceptional as the performances that they earned it with. If you would like to commission your own medal program, we will be delighted to receive your call on: +44 (0) 20 751 8844 or your written enquiry via our contact form.
