McCarty Goldsmiths have worked closely with worldwide clients to create State orders, Decorations & Medals for over 40 years. The process always begins with McCarty’s artists interpreting research and references into hand-painted designs, and then computer-rendered visuals allowing a greater dialogue around how the commission can look and ensuring McCarty fully recreate the vision the client has.

The finest materials are sourced, best cut and colours of stones acquired and all detailing is meticulously explored before the team of craftsmen and goldsmiths begin executing the design employing both traditional methods and modern technology. 

Our craftsmen then create jewellery, medallions and dress regalia to individual client requirements, including medals, regalia and the Silver Jubilee Sword for Her Majesty the Queen.

The wealth of knowledge McCarty have allows for limitless range; ranging from recreating traditional designs to more opulent diamond encrusted pieces, or indeed entire coronation sets.

Their client base focuses on long standing relationships in the Middle East, which you will see more of in this Regalia section.

McCarty were commissioned to produce the sword to mark the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. The hilt is handmade in 18ct gold and adorned with 8 carats of diamonds, 6 carats of rubies and a large lapis lazuli. The blade is etched with the national flowers of England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland. At the top of the scabbard is a solid gold horse carving, reflecting Elizabeth’s love of equestrian sports.
