Established with a vision to create exceptional and enduring jewelry, our brand's story is one of passion, creativity, and unwavering dedication to craftsmanship.
AUGUSTINE JEWELS' BEGINNINGS
Augustine Studios was part of the design group The Silver Studio from 1860 to 1963. Collections from The Silver Studio are curated at Middlesex University and the Victoria and Albert Museum. The building housing Augustine Studios was bought by the founder of Augustine Jewels, Alexandra, in 1995, with the dream of being able to revive it as a design studio specialising in handmade jewelry.
OUR FOUNDER ALEXANDRA
Alexandra attended Esmod School of Fashion and Design in Paris in 1988-1989, winning a Luxury Jewelry design award. She later pursued her education at Cambridge University (BA) and Stanford University (MA). She later became Global Head of CRM for the Consumer Goods Sector with Accenture. Following a career break to raise her children, Alexandra studied Bespoke Jewelry Design at the Gemological Institute of America and became an Accredited Jewelry Professional (AJP). She also received training in diamond and colored stone grading from the GIA. Alexandra also served on the Board of The Museum of The Home in London for six years.
AUGUSTINE JEWELS TODAY
Augustine Jewels, since the establishment of our renowned Notting Hill Flagship store, represents timeless glamor and a relentless pursuit of innovation in jewelry design. As an international brand, we continuously push boundaries, exploring new techniques and inspirations. Our commitment extends beyond craftsmanship to the symbolic nature of jewelry, recognising its capacity to tell stories and evoke emotions. Through education, we aim to share the profound meanings embedded within each piece. Join us in a world where creativity thrives, where innovative designs, exceptional craftsmanship, and a profound appreciation for the symbolism of jewelry come together.
