Wright & Teague is a British jewellery company established in 1984 by Gary Wright and Sheila Teague. It is based in Dover Street, Mayfair, London.
All Wright & Teague jewellery is designed by Gary Wright and Sheila Teague, hand made in England, primarily in their own workshop, and hallmarked by the London Assay Office.
The collection includes inscription pieces bearing legends from poems and songs that are personal to the designers and their own relationship; these are engraved in very considered typography, including their own handwriting, onto rings and pendants.
