Garrard, the World’s oldest
jewellers gained its first royal commission from Frederick Louis, Prince of
Wales (1707 to 1760) and in 1843
it officially became the crown jeweller. Garrard (pronounced Gerrard) has a very long
and well established history, founded by George Wickes in 1735 and later given the name Garrard when Robert Garrard took control over the company.
Today it continues to create divine pieces desired by many and often seen on
the elegant hands and swan necks of celebrities; Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and
Rihanna to name but a few and all who have donned beautifully designed diamond
creations by the esteemed jeweller.
The
latest collection has limited edition pieces of exquisite black gold, and were
recently viewed by MSE’s Managing Director, Nina Johnson-Bennett a member of
the Prince’s Trust Women’s
Leadership Group at an exclusive
reception celebrating Garrard’s partnership with the Trust which included a
private tour of their new Diamond Jubilee exhibition. As a sponsor
they hosted the Princes Trust Diamond Jubilee Event in London on the evening of
29th March, featuring many of their new pieces including the special diamond jubilee pendant specifically for this year’s celebrations in June, each
pendant has a birthstone set in the crown and is being launched in gold, white
gold and rose gold. The evening was a resounding success as purchases were made
throughout the night. An as yet unspecified however evidently substantial
amount was raised for the Prince’s Trust Charity, 10% of purchases went
directly to the charity as donations.
