Open

Big, Bold, Beautiful Buccellati! This fab statement cuff is in 18ct yellow and white gold and as you will be able to see in the video, is beautifully engraved with the ‘rigato’ engraving that Buccellati is well known for. ‘Rigato’ is the name for the very fine parallel lines shallow engraved into the surface to create the soft silky appearance that is undeniably tactile and elegant. The other type of engraving you can see here is central and called ‘ornato’ and is intended to echo Renaissance brocades and damasks. This cuff doesn’t need diamonds to make it sing, the gold speaks for itself and just oozes chic! Just arrived and in New Arrivals on the website - DM or whatsaap if you would like to know more!

✨ Elsa Peretti putting a sting in our style! ✨This Tiffany & Co. Necklace, designed by Elsa Peretti in 1979 is about as fierce as a necklace can be! Peretti was inspired by the natural world around her and with this particular design, the scorpions found near her home in Catalonia, Spain. Our necklace is 18ct yellow gold and circa 1980s, it is one of the original models. A silver version of this necklace can be found in the collection of the British Museum and it has been seen on fashion icons from Carine Roitfeld to Christy Turlington to Beyoncé.Vogue described Peretti’s jewellery “carved, pure — irresistibly touchable — it has been called jewellery as sculpture, sculpture as jewellery, and the most sensuous jewellery in the world.” We feel this necklace certainly embodies that description! ✨✨✨#hancockslondon #mayfair #elsaperetti #tiffanyandco #tiffany #scorpion #scorpio #lovegold #fierce #vintagestyle #vintagetiffany #londonjewellery #jewellerylover #jewelleryaddict

These showstoppers just arrived and we are, quite frankly, in love! As you may know old cut diamonds and fine antique jewellery are our passions here at Hancocks, so these earrings really encompass everything we adore. We’ve estimated the combined weight of the earrings at just over 26cts and they are set in their original Georgian setting. This style has exploded in popularity as they are, quite simply, timeless. Swipe to see a short video showing how beautiful and lively the diamonds are, it is easy to imagine how incredible they would look in wear, hopefully illuminated by candlelight! Guy Burton, our Managing Director doesn’t confess which his favourites are too easily but there’s no hiding with these! In his words: “The size and quality of these old-cut diamonds in their original antique Georgian earrings is just phenomenally rare and this is a very special opportunity to buy, and indeed wear museum quality jewels.” These are not up on our website yet so please do get in touch via DM or whatsaap if you wish to know more

Meet our Hancocks handcrafted, old cut diamond snake ring…. The ultimate finger charmer! 🐍💎Of course it wouldn’t be Hancocks if it didn’t have a lovely old cut - and this one, a 1.01ct old cut pear shape diamond lends itself so perfectly to the design of the ring, which is all in platinum, hand crafted and hand engraved.The snake motif is often associated with wisdom, power, love and everlasting life. It has been used extensively in jewellery for centuries, really gaining particular popularity during the Victorian era as Queen Victoria received a snake ring from Prince Albert on their engagement. Today, still equally popular and desirable and this one is a lovely wearable and contemporary interpretation💎🐍💎#hancockslondon #londonjewellery #ukjewellery #diamond #diamondsnake #oldcutdiamond #pearshapediamond #vintagediamond #handmade #handengraved #craftmanship #ringoftheday #uniquering #instadiamond #certifieddiamonds #snakering #jewellerydesign #oneoffpieces

The blue sapphire is a familiar, and very loved gemstone here at Hancocks but we also love a teal sapphire which is a little different! Sapphires come in a wide variety of colours and this teal green colour is very beautiful and one we particularly like.This teal sapphire is 2.55ct and it is a natural, unheated gemstone. It sits between two beautiful asscher cut diamonds that weigh 1.36ct combined in a handcrafted 18ct yellow gold and platinum ring. These teal green sapphires can also offer a more durable alternative to an emerald for anyone thinking of green for their engagement ring.

💙Blue Skies💙 I suddenly realised that I have been neglecting our beautiful blue sapphire collection on our instagram! So since the skies are getting bluer here is one of my personal favourites - a gorgeous 6.19ct Ceylon sapphire with diamond bullet shoulders. The crisp, fresh blue of this sapphire, in my opinion is pure joy. As with everything in life the specific hue of blue that you may prefer is a matter of personal preference - and within our collection you will also find deeper blues as well. Our sapphires are all natural unheated gemstones with certification. What is your favourite hue of blue? 💙💙💙#hancockslondon #mayfair #sapphirering #unheatedsapphire #ceylonsapphire #sapphire #showmeyourrings #ringoftheday #ringsofinstagram #jewellerylover #jewelleryaddict

We feel passionately about every ring that we make. We carefully choose and curate every gemstone, but this diamond has something particularly special to talk about. It is a 2.03ct old mine cushion cut, D colour Internally Flawless stone. It is also a Type IIa, which were historically found in Golconda, India. In a nutshell diamonds can be classified into two main categories - Type I and Type II. These categories further subdivide and right now we are talking about Type IIa - these contain no nitrogen, they are exceptionally rare, making up only 2% of the world’s natural gem quality diamonds. In the words of the GIA “Type IIa diamonds are the most chemically pure type of diamond and often have exceptional optical transparency.”Adored by connoisseurs, collectors, experts and enthusiasts, Type IIa diamonds even take pride of place in the Crown Jewels. The Cullinan and Koh-i-Noor are famous examples of this type of diamond. The quote from the GIA touched on it, the optical properties of a Type IIa Golconda diamond is something unique and special. They can have an ethereal, limpid quality that not even a camera can truly capture… a true masterpiece of nature.
