Beautiful Antique Jewellery From Berganza Jewellers

Berganza Jewellers is one of those hidden gems, (excuse the pun) - a family-run jewellers whose staff are knowledgeable and experienced in selling unique antique and vintage jewellery. Based in prestigious Hatton Garden in London, the well-known area at the centre of the jewellery and diamond trade in the UK, the store is a veritable treasure trove of sparkly treats.
Here you are almost always guaranteed to find that unusual ring that no one else will have due to the antique and vintage nature of the jewellery. 

 They hold one of the largest collections of antique rings in the world showcasing the very best workmanship from each period, from ancient Greek and Roman betrothal rings to Medieval pieces, and a vast posy ring collection, to more recent Georgian and Victorian rings as well as 1940 to 1960s retro pieces.

 Today there is a fashion for treating gemstones to hide imperfections, filling in cracks and heat treating to change the colour. At Berganza Jewellers, they ensure all their gems are natural untreated stones without enhancements, so you get the very best antique and vintage stones out there.

The unique nature of the jewellery cannot be underestimated. In past times, jewellers honed a craft, hand-making bespoke settings and selecting stones appropriate to the style of the ring. There was no mass production of jewellery and skills were learnt, passed down through generations of family jewellers and through time spent in a jewellers workshop. Berganza jewellers are proud of this jewellers craft so much so that they are sponsors of the prestigious Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Awards every year.

A business is only as good as it's staff and in Berganza Jewellers everyone is passionate about jewellery, experienced and well trained in customer care as well as being extremely knowledgeable. Staff are members of the National Association of Goldsmiths as well as the Gemmological Association of Great Britain and the LAPADA -the associate of art and antique dealers. I think you will agree with me when I say they are true experts in antique jewellery.

    Wow they're beautiful pieces. I look forward to passing down my ring, my husband had it made special for me. I have a wedding band from generations before me that has been passed down, it is just simple 22 ct gold. Gorgeous pieces that you've chosen.

    WOW! that last ring is absolutely beautiful! I absolutely love unusual jewellery. We had my wedding and engagement rings made by a fab jeweller called Jeremy Hoye — his stuff is very contemporary — but I love vintage pieces as well. I'm off to check out their site!
