Garrard, the oldest fine jewellery firm in the world, has a particularly English history dating back to the 1700s when its founder George Wickes was appointed Goldsmith to the Prince of Wales. Since then, Garrard jewellery has made Queen Mary's crown for her Coronation, the crown set for Queen Elizabeth and, more recently, the sapphire engagement ring given by Prince William to his wife Catherine, having previously belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales. This strong pedigree continues today with ceremony and pageantry at the forefront of its work, and stately craftsmanship built upon centuries of experience.
