When two become one.
Looking for Hearts of London? - Fear not, we've got this covered. Hearts of London has joined forces with Queensmith to provide a stronger, more streamlined service under one brand.
Hello, we're Queensmith
Queensmith has always operated under the same management and expert team as Hearts of London - so maybe you already know us. Born in 2016, Queensmith was created to meet the bustling demand for transparent, fairly priced and top quality custom jewellery.
The tale of Hearts of London & Queensmith
Hearts of London was created in 2012, when founder Brett noticed the engagement ring and fine jewellery market felt a little tired. The mission was to create an inclusive and transparent service that didn't cost the Earth. Cutting out the middleman and working directly with the diamond experts, designers and goldsmiths - Hearts of London was a new, transparent way for couples to create their engagement and wedding jewellery.
By 2016, Hearts of London was working at capacity and fully booked far in advance - enter Queensmith. With the same expert team at the helm, a new store and workshop allowed us to keep up with demand, and continue to grow and evolve. A few years later, Queensmith launched an e-commerce platform to take our award-winning service online, as well as expanding into a large, 3-storey studio at 98 Hatton Garden, complete with a modern showroom, private meeting rooms and in-house workshops.
Are you an existing Hearts of London customer?
Rest assured, nothing much will change for you: your booked appointments, manufacturer warranties and lifetime guarantee will remain unaffected, and you'll enjoy the same quality service you're used to, just via Queensmith. If you have any questions, we're just a click away.

Recognising the individuality of each couple we work with has always been a huge part of our ethos. The engagement, wedding and fine jewellery industry can seem a little too traditional at times - so we know how important it is that we’re welcoming and visible to all communities. We’re proud to have grown a strong and loving LGBTQ+ client base over the years, and will always endeavour to contribute to a more inclusive industry.
Here's more about Queensmith's offering as an LGBTQ+ friendly jewellers.
We make bespoke simple: transparent expert-led advice for hassle-free decisions plus exquisite in-house crafting that keeps things cost effective. It's a recipe for creating your ring, your way, at a price you like.
Learn more about Queensmith & our values.
At Queensmith, we celebrate the artistry of Hatton Garden, and our in-house workshop is integral to keeping our trade authentic. Sadly, the amount of Hatton Garden jewellers still crafting rings to order has dwindled over the years - many preferring to supply jewellery from big brands and mass producers.
We’re proud to have our own team of goldsmiths working in our Hatton Garden showroom - and to celebrate our crafters in all that they do, we’ve designed our studio to allow visitors to see our craftspeople in action. Take a step into our showroom to meet with our talented artisans, become a part of the narrative and create something exceptionally personal.
Learn more about the crafting process.
It began with a desire to make bespoke - simple.
Queensmith founder, Brett, visited London’s Hatton Garden jewellery quarter in search of a ring for Natalie, to celebrate the birth of their baby. Ring after ring, store after store, the experience was missing Brett and Natalie’s own story.
In a sea of hurried and homogenous sales tactics, Brett discovered a desire to create a different jewellery-buying experience. So the purpose of Queensmith was realised: to offer an immersive experience in which every couple, their personal decisions and their own sentiments are at the centre of their jewellery. Crafted exquisitely, in-house, at a transparent price.
Unlike many contemporary jewellers, we keep the production of our rings in-house and crafted by local talent. We never sell mass produced jewellery, so our clients can feel secure in the knowledge that their jewellery was created just for them, just the way they wanted.
Our in-house workshops allow us to cut out the middleman and maintain transparent and authentic provenance throughout the creation process. We’re able to keep our overhead costs controlled, whilst paying our own goldsmiths fairly for their meticulous work. We’re also able to make sure high quality standards are always met, with no exceptions, so we can be held accountable for the workmanship in every piece we sell. It just makes sense!
Interested in learning about The Crafting Process?
Yes - every stone we sell and work with is sourced from reputable, trusted suppliers who share our values for transparency. We’re proud supporters of the Kimberley Process, which has prevented 99.8% of the global supply of conflict diamonds, and continue to expand our expert-led lab diamond offering. We also refuse to work with gemstones from conflict areas.
