he Allen Brown Gallery specialises in handmade, fine jewellery using unusual gem stones and coloured diamonds. Designs for our collections start with the careful selection of exquisite stones, chosen for exceptional in quality and unusual shape or colour

We believe passionately that even contemporary precious jewellery can be ethically traded, using conflict-free diamonds, gems and 'green gold'

Established in 1986, Allen heads a team of designer-makers who all work on the Gallery’s collections and commission pieces as well as taking turns to work in the shop

This allows us to give design and technical advice to customers when they are visiting us, advising them on the suitability of stones and settings to help their ideas become a beautifully-crafted piece of bespoke jewellery

For each bespoke item and collection piece, we sketch and develop several different ideas, taking traditional techniques and settings one step further to discover the most appropriate piece for each stone so that its shape, facets and colour are displayed to the best advantage

The result is stunning pieces of precious jewellery both beautiful and practical, making them timeless favourites for our customers
