There are names in jewellery that carry weight and then there is Garrard & Co.
Founded in London in 1735, Garrard is Britain's oldest jeweller, and for most of its near-300-year history it has sat at the very centre of British royal and cultural life. In 1843, Queen Victoria appointed Garrard as the first ever official Crown Jeweller, a role the house held for over 160 years, during which it became responsible for the upkeep of the Crown Jewels and the creation of some of the most significant pieces in British history. The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara — the portrait on British currency. The Imperial Crown of India. The Koh-i-Noor, recut by Garrard hands. Princess Diana's sapphire engagement ring.
To own a piece of Garrard is to hold something connected to all of that.
Which is why we're particularly excited to have not one but two Garrard & Co. pieces in the collection right now and they couldn't be more different from one another.
The Brooch: Art Deco Platinum & Diamond Double Clip Bow — £2,600
This is the kind of piece that stops you in your tracks.
A platinum and diamond double clip bow brooch, retailed by Garrard & Co. and dating from the Art Deco period, the 1920s and 1930s, when the great jewellery houses were producing work of almost architectural precision. Set with a magnificent array of old European-cut round diamonds and baguette-cut diamonds, every line here is deliberate, every angle considered. This is jewellery as geometry: restrained, confident, and quietly extraordinary.
What makes it especially wonderful is the versatility. The brooch is actually two individual clips that fasten together to form the bow but can just as easily be worn as two separate pieces. That kind of intelligent design is a hallmark of the finest jewellers of the era, who understood that a great piece should work as hard as the person wearing it.
It arrives in its original box, with an insurance valuation included. There is only one, and it won't wait.
The Earrings: Platinum, Ruby & Diamond Cluster Studs — £825
If the brooch is cool and architectural, these earrings are pure warmth.
Dating from approximately 1900 to 1939 and retailed by Garrard & Co. of 112 Regent Street, London, each earring centres a vivid round ruby of rich, deep red — the kind of colour that catches light from across a room surrounded by a halo of old European-cut diamonds set in platinum with delicate milgrain detailing. That milgrain edge, those softly glowing stones, the flat-back cluster stud setting: these are the signatures of Edwardian and early Art Deco jewellery at its most refined.
They come presented in their original Garrard & Co. leather and velvet jewellery box, a detail that, for collectors, adds its own layer of history. As with all vintage pieces, they carry the gentle marks of a life well lived. Only one pair available.
A Note on Buying Garrard
Garrard pieces — particularly those from the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco periods — are genuinely collectible. The combination of historical significance, royal provenance and exceptional craftsmanship means they consistently hold their value, and often far exceed it. These aren't just beautiful things to wear. They're pieces with a story that stretches back nearly three centuries.
We're proud to be able to offer them, and as always, if you have any questions about either piece, provenance, condition, styling, just get in touch. We love talking about this stuff.
