Explore Our Collection of Antique Designer Jewellery

Our experts work tirelessly to help curate our collection of antique designer jewellery pieces. Their incredible knowledge and sensitive eye can select the most impressive choices. These beautiful pieces have been chosen for this selection due to their incredible value, artisan design and astounding materials. 

These expert choices have been taken from a wide range of history. In this collection, we have displayed multiple Victorian pieces. Victorian Jewellery gets its name from the monarch on the throne when it was created, Queen Victoria (1837-1901). There are many incredibly unique features from Victorian jewellery, and it truly deserves its recognition from leading antique designer jewellery experts. Jewellery pieces from Victorian society included a lot of elegant floral motifs and artistically impressive metalwork imitating foliage. Brooches were an incredibly popular style of antique designer jewellery in Victorian England. 

One of the other factors our experts took into consideration when curating this collection was impressive gemstone cuts. We have an extensive collection of stunning antique designer rings that are technically breathtaking. Our cluster rings are some of the most incredible of our expert selections. Cluster rings typically consist of a group of smaller gemstones surrounding one large gemstone, and were incredibly popular during the Edwardian period. Vintage cluster rings often display the finest expertise in metal work, and beautiful gemstone arrangement. Their value and technical beauty makes them a favourite of antique designer jewellery experts. 

Have any of our expert’s selections caught your attention, perhaps for a special gift, investment piece, or as an antique engagement ring? To discuss any of these antique designer jewellery pieces, please either be in contact here online or in person at our Hatton Garden establishment. 

FAQs

With antique designer jewellery, it’s important to keep it clean. Cleaning your antique pieces correctly is a great way to preserve them and keep their value.
