Augustine Jewels
Exquisite Ethically Sourced Gemstones and Extraordinary Designs
75 Ledbury Road, Notting Hill, London, W11 2AG
Award Winning Luxury Jewellery Brand, Augustine Jewels has been adding extra sparkle to celebrity red carpet appearances since 2012. Fans include One Show presenter Alex Jones and broadcaster Kirsty Gallacher.
Celebrating ten years this autumn, and being shortlisted for Jewellery Designer of the Year 2022, Augustine Jewels is a British Luxury Jewellery Brand, founded by gemstone expert, Alexandra Robson renowned for marrying exquisite, ethically sourced gemstones with extraordinary handmade by some of the best London jewellery craftsmen.
From her flagship store in the heart of Notting Hill, Alexandra hand draws all of her designs which are inspired by her travels to luxury, romantic destinations and the vast array of landscapes, flora and fauna on offer, all of which you can see represented in the colours and shapes of her exquisite designs. Previous collections have included The South of France, Portofino, Andalusian and Como.
A perfect example of how Alexandra can translate the natural world into a unique piece of jewellery, is her English Garden collection. Delphiniums, roses, foxgloves and peonies provide inspiration for the choice of stones used in this stunning collection; purple amethyst, yellow citrine, white topaz and sky blue topaz reflect the colours of English skies and green agate like the leaves and foliage of a verdant English Summer afternoon – a beautiful way to transport us to sunnier climes this winter.
The leaves are represented through the delicate marquise shape, a new design element for Augustine Jewels. The collection starts at £300 in silver. The introduction of diamonds and gold elevates the price point but is capped at £1500. And with a number of ready-to-wear collections available, there is something for all budgets.
“We continue to delight our customers with our existing collections amongst them; Como, Andalusian, Portofino, South of France and Aztec. The ever-popular Como Collection where green peridot, teal blue topaz, yellow citrine, pink tourmaline, amethyst, morganite and aquamarine are arranged in a romantic cluster of gemstones while our ornate Andalusian Filigree citrine and garnet pendant is proving a ‘must have’ for accessorising. The South of France Collection is a long-term best seller, evoking memories of summers in the Mediterranean sunshine.” – Alexandra Robson, Founder & Head Designer, Augustine Jewels
Shortlisted Jewellery Designer of the Year 2022, Alexandra is regularly commissioned to design bespoke jewellery, often sourcing stones valued at up to £250k. And this December sees the launch of their new fine jewellery collection inspired by the incredible landscapes and slopes of the stunning Gstaad Valley in Switzerland. A beautifully curated collection, the gemstones chosen reflect the colours of the mountains – diamonds to represent the glistening snow, teal blue topaz to represent the skies in the evening and aquamarines to represent the skies in the day. All are set in 18-carat yellow gold, to represent the warmth of the sun. The whole collection represents the glamour of such a famous ski location. And for the first time, Augustine Jewels will be using lab diamonds in the collection. The use of lab diamonds is the result of customer requests for more ethical sourcing of diamonds without the impact of mining. The collection will retail from £2500 for rings, cuffs, necklaces and earrings.
