Alex Monroe is a leading designer of gold and silver jewellery with stockists all over the world. We also accept commissions, working directly with clients to capture their dream Wedding or Engagement ring.

British jewellery designer Alex Monroe grew up in Suffolk surrounded by fields, rivers and the plants and creatures which inhabit them. He trained at Sir John Cass School Of Art in London, and uses nature to inspire his whimsical, intricately beautiful jewellery. Established in 1986, his core aspirations remain unchanged; to make great quality, wearable jewellery, which is originally designed and well priced. Nature has always been Alex’s greatest inspiration. Whether from travels in Pakistan, walks along the hedgerows of Suffolk or even the Tuscan hills, his designs always remain inherently English. Alex always makes the original by hand in sterling silver, which gives his work its distinctive signature of such exquisite detail. He uses his skills to craft jewellery that is slightly quirky, sometimes cute, but always very feminine. The jewellery is both pretty and humorous, but consistently wearable.

The Alex Monroe brand was established in 1987, when Alex set up his first studio in South London to design and make jewellery.
Over twenty years on, the demand for Alex’s jewellery is now worldwide, being sold through such fashion institutions as Liberty, Harrods and Net-A-Porter. Stores and boutiques across the UK frequently sell out, with many pieces gaining waiting list status.

The UK Jewellery Awards 2008 saw Alex being awarded the prestigious title of 'Designer of the Year'. It was the highest praise Alex could receive, and the judges were unanimous in their decision saying: “His Quality is perfect and his style is so consistent.” Alex has also made the shortlist for this award in 2009 and 2010.

In addition to producing four collections of jewellery every year, Alex also finds time to work on other exciting projects, with establishments such as the luminary Victoria & Albert Museum, who asked Alex to design a limited edition Locket to commemorate the unveiling of their new Jewellery Gallery. All of the collaborations have been completely diverse and include designing a solid gold Poppy for The British Legion, a 250th anniversary collection for Kew – of course inspired by visits to the gardens themselves, a bottle for the classic British perfumiers Penhaligon’s and a collection of sensual and erotic pieces for Coco De Mer.

In terms of publicity, Alex Monroe is rarely out of the press, with pieces being regularly featured in Vogue, Red, InStyle, Easy Living and Grazia. In addition to this, we’ve heard on the grapevine that Sienna Miller, Thandie Newton, Lisa Snowdon, Laura Bailey, Emilia Fox and Ashley Jensen are all fans, not to mention Girls Aloud’s Kimberley Walsh and Rock Chicks Jo Whiley and Amy Winehouse.

The simple beauty of nature features throughout Alex’s collections, with his love of wildlife transcending into instantly wearable pieces, which are always right on-trend.
