Background to the House of Garrard

Set in the heart of London since 1735, Garrard’s royal legacy lives on in its exceptional handcrafted jewels.

From the legendary setting of the Cullinan I diamond, the world’s largest cut and colourless diamond, to glittering tiaras worn at state occasions and Princess Diana’s iconic engagement ring, Garrard has crafted some of the most famous jewels of all time.
