2015 marked the inception of London Costume Jewellery, a premier online destination for enthusiasts and collectors of vintage and contemporary costume jewellery with a distinct London flavour. Born from a passion for the artistry and history of costume jewellery, our website has since become a trusted repository of information, celebrating the rich tapestry of designs that have adorned the fashion-forward for decades.
Our journey began in a small, cluttered workshop where the intricate details and hidden gems of London’s costume jewellery scene were first brought to light. A team of dedicated historians, designers, and collectors united with a shared vision: to create an accessible platform that would not only showcase the beauty of these pieces but also educate and inform both newcomers and seasoned aficionados alike.
Over the years, our site has grown, marking several milestones along the way, including the launch of our interactive database, the introduction of a user-friendly e-commerce platform, and the establishment of a forum for enthusiasts to share their knowledge and experiences. Our significant achievements include partnerships with leading museums and institutions, ensuring our readers have access to the most authoritative content on London costume jewellery.
Our purpose is clear: to be the go-to resource for all things related to London costume jewellery. We are committed to excellence in journalism, offering accurate, unbiased information that reflects the rich heritage and ongoing evolution of this art form. Our core values – integrity, dedication, and innovation – guide us in our mission to preserve and promote the craftsmanship and cultural significance of these jewels.
