Hancocks are one of the finest London Jewellers, renowned for both their vintage and contemporary jewellery. Located in the heart of London, Hancocks was founded in 1849 and was granted their first Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria and soon after were entrusted with the making of the Victoria Cross Medal; an honour still bestowed on them to this day.
Hancocks is still a family-owned and runs company, as it was in 1849, specialising in buying and selling rare and collectable jewels. Their Burlington Arcade store displays a large range of diamond engagement rings, the finest vintage jewellery, Objets D'Art and silverware. In addition to their own designs, Hancocks also offers the most sought-after jewellery from top design houses including Boucheron, Boivin, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Lalaounis, and more.
