Company name was Wright& Hadgkiss;
This may be of interest:
The well-known house for cheap diamond work, Messrs. Wright & Hadgkiss, Vyse Street, are extending their premises, and making room for another eight workmen. They make a cheap class of diamond work of pretty design at popular prices, and thus cater for a class of customer that I presume has hitherto been unable to afford the genuine article. Their weekly output is, I understand, very considerable in this particular class of work, and their staff of workpeople being now increased to 70, they will be able to meet some large demands. Although several other houses have started in this class of goods during the last few years, there still appears to be an increasing demand for the same, in contradistinction to the other and more expensive class of gem work.

Clearly the company wasn't wound up as this advert appeared in 1957
