James Alfredson Jewellers

Coco Chanel said If you want to start a collection start with a brooch because you will find most use for it. It can be pinned on a suit lapel, collar or pocket, on a hat, belt or evening gown. Her advice is still pertinent. No wonder you will find yourself wearing this very beautiful antique brooch again and again.

Through the different eras necklaces have been symbols of status and wealth and an integral part of fashion. The necklace is possibly the most obvious of jewels. Highly visible around the neck and compared to many other jewels relatively large a necklace gives the jeweller the opportunity to create a complex design ( however deceptively simple the final result appears) and simply to flaunt his skills.

Men's jewellery has traditionally included cufflinks, cufflink and stud sets for formal occasions, stick pins, tie pins and tie bars and tacks for wearing in lapels or with ties, watches both pocket and wrist and watch chains although currently these are often worn as neck chains or bracelets, and dress or signet rings.
