Argent of London

As we approach what is meant to be a great week of summer weather (we have even been promised a break from the endless rain!) here at Argent of London, we are hoping that choosing the ‘stay-cation’ approach will pay off for us! Even if it doesn’t, we are going to indulge in some beautiful summery jewellery and pretend we are in St Tropez.  One piece that always makes us feel like we’ve escaped Britain for sunnier climes is our ‘fiesta’ gold and gemstone necklace.   Perfect for brightening up any outfit, this gold vermeil necklace is dotted with exquisite gemstones: amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, iolite and peridot. http://www.argentlondon.com/products/necklaces/long-fiesta-gemstone-necklace/ Carrying on with the gemstone theme, we must introduce you to these beautiful rings:  unusual but hugely striking, these split band rings come in aquamarine and pink tourmaline. The combination of gold and silver means that it can be worn with both type o...

Our new Aqua Collection is looking fabulous in our showroom, particularly the Dafni Starfish & Aquamarine Necklaces.   Five starfish and shell pendants hang from the Dafni necklace.   There is a choice between silver or gold pendants, depending on what you prefer. The Dafni necklace is made from aquamarine beads and closes with a lobster claw clasp.   Aquamarine, the "Gem of the Sea", is said to sparkle like the sea and is a pale to medium blue.   Aquamarine is the birthstone for March, and is believed to endow the wearer with foresight, courage, willpower and happiness. Our gold and silver starfish earrings look fantastic paired up with the Dafni necklace, which are perfect for day-to-day use.   If you are looking for something a little more special, you may like our Isabella Starfish drop earrings, made from sterling silver and 18ct gold. More vibrant colours can be seen in our Frosted Agate Silver Starfish jewellery, which is soon to be featured in Bri...

The wonderful weather at the moment has meant that the team at Argent have been out and about a little more than usual, enjoying the warmer weather and lighter evenings.   Some of us have been surprised to stumble across those beautiful eggs which have recently appeared across Central London .   The eggs are part of The Fabergé Big Egg Hunt.   Our favorites include artist Anna Master’s When I Grow Up and young design label Tata-Naka’s Benedicte .   The detail of Tata-Naka’s egg in particular reminded us of our own beautiful enamel egg collection which is inspired by the work of Carl Fabergé.   If all this talk about Easter eggs gets you eggsited, or if you miss out on The Big Egg Hunt’s first prize, (The Diamond Jubilee Egg , worth £100,000) don’t forget to check out our collection of enamel egg pendants, very eye-catching pieces that can be worn throughout the year, but are particularly apt for Easter! Priced from £198-£298. http://www.argentlondon.com/produ...

It’s that time of year again when we have to start thinking about our Catalogue.  I think our collection of jewellery this year is even more colourful than usual – some truly gorgeous new pieces with aquamarines, rose quartz and all the soft pastel colours.  In the office we are happy to dream of shooting these in sunnier climates but with the beautiful weather we are experiencing at the moment I think we are going to settle on a beach (and beach huts!) on the South Coast!  A couple of examples below.  By the way the long necklaces have already been spotted by the Daily Mail and will be featured with swim wear shortly!! http://www.argentlondon.com/products/necklaces/st-lucia-aqua-chalcedony-and-pearl-drop-necklace/ http://www.argentlondon.com/products/necklaces/bali-blue-moon-stone-pearl-long-necklace/

More and more of our customers are looking for unique jewellery that is in some ways personalized to them.   Whether it’s for a Christening, birthday or even a thank you present for a favourite teacher, the new trend is for ‘different’ and ‘distinctive’ ways to say it. At Argent we have embraced this idea and offer several suggestions for each and every customer. In our opinion (if we may..), the ultimate way to personalise is by engraving.    This makes something really special and ensures it is also one of a kind.   From an initial engraved onto one of our friendship bracelets to a special message secretly hidden on something – you can be as imaginative as you like and are guaranteed to end up with a completely unique piece.   We have a fantastic engraver who treats each project with great care, attention and creativity – he is incredibly experienced and each piece is a true work of art. Another suggestion we like to give to our customers are our little si...
