SMO JEWELLERY HOUSES
Since 1798, Boodles has represented the epitome of fine British jewellery. Still a privately-owned family business, Boodles stands for the very best in creative design; the highest quality diamonds and gemstones; and the fusion of traditional craft skills with innovation.
Every piece of Boodles jewellery is designed and handcrafted in Britain. There is an emphasis at Boodles on provenance: they take pride in being able to trace their diamonds all the way back to source, and on working with gold of a Single Mine Origin. At once classic and contemporary – always distinctive – Boodles is perhaps best known for Raindance; the iconic ring which was recognised by the V&A Museum and entered into its permanent collection.
In 2023 – the year of their 125th anniversary – Boodles was named ‘Best British Luxury Brand of the Year’ by the UK’s luxury sector body, Walpole.
“More and more we are finding our customers love the fact that our gold is SMO, and often this makes an impact in their buying decision.”
