British Jewellery Handcrafted with Heart and Soul
Announcement
March's birthstone is aquamarine. Historically, aquamarine was thought to protect those travelling at sea and was popular with sailors and travellers, as well as fishermen who believed it would boost their luck catching fish! Aquamarine is part of the beryl family of gemstones, alongside emeralds.
Today aquamarine is associated, with peace, wisdom and thought to calm the mind.
We have a wide variety of stunning aquamarine rings and pendants available in our shop, from ornate, vintage-inspired pieces to simple and clean contemporary designs.
All of our jewellery is designed and handcrafted using traditional methods, in our very own workshop, with the primary purpose encapsulating your cherished memories. We're a small family business dedicated to creating high quality platinum, gold and silver jewellery at competitive prices, coupled with exceptional customer service. Each design reflects the spirit of England and exemplifies our exacting standards. We believe every item of jewellery is a work of art and should be made with love.
Every item of jewellery is tested and hallmarked by the London, Birmingham or Dublin Assay Office, giving you the assurance that you are buying an exceptional piece. Our gemstones are natural (unless stated otherwise), ethically sourced and carefully selected for colour and clarity. We can offer an array of gemstone qualities to meet most budgets so please do ask us. We encourage our customers to ask as many questions as possible and we do respond quickly. If you need a ring in a hurry, please contact us to see how we can help make this possible. If you are still unsure, you are welcome to browse our reviews, we have many happy and repeat customers!
We offer many designs in small as well as very large finger sizes. If your finger size is outside the size range we use, we can offer advice on which of our designs will work for you so please do contact us.
We offer a bespoke design service as well turning a design idea into reality so if you would like to discuss any aspect of this then please do get in touch, we would love to hear from you!
Martin & Family and all at Gems of London!

5 out of 5 starsI am a repeat customer from across the globe. The after sales customer service is impeccable. All of the four rings I purchased were dainty and very pretty. Two were custom made and Louis was incredibly patient and accommodating. I will be back for more! Shop with confidence. Thank you.

Shop policies
We are a small British Family of jewellers handcrafting our designs in our own workshop in England. We offer an array of metals including Platinum, Palladium, 9K, 10K, 14K, 18K Yellow, Rose and White Gold as well as Sterling Silver. All of our pieces are handset with a multitude of natural ethically sourced gemstones that are carefully matched for colour, vibrancy and cut.
Each piece is sent to the London, Birmingham or Dublin Assay Office for testing and hallmarking providing you with the assurance that you are purchasing a high quality piece of jewellery.
For some of our large solitaire designs we use large lab created stones but only when a real stone would cost thousands! So unless it says synthetic/lab created in the listing you can safely assume the stones are natural earth-mined gemstones!
Please feel free to contact us if you have something special in mind and we will be happy to offer any pre or post sales advice about our jewellery and gemstones.
Thank you for looking!
