Founded in Liverpool in 1798 Boodles has grown into a huge bespoke brand, with 5 stores in London alone and it's Flagship on New Bond Street, right next door to Cartier. The iconic Boodles Radiance ring is permanently on display in the Victoria and Albert Museum, such is the rich history of this jewel house, and collaborations with the Royal Ballet in 2015 and with their brand ambassador Sophie Dahl in 2016 means their pieces are known worldwide. Anyone would be privileged to own a piece from Boodles and a trip to their New Bond Street store to choose one a luxury in itself.

K. Mikimoto
