History

Established in 1986.

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.

In addition to producing four collections every year, Alex also embarks on numerous collaborative ventures, working with such luminaries as the Victoria & Albert Museum, who asked Alex to design a limited edition commemorative Locket.

These diverse projects have also included an 18ct Gold Poppy for the British Legion, a 250^th anniversary range for Kew Gardens, a bottle for the classic British perfumiers Penhaligon’s and a limited edition Ring, and exclusive Necklace with Burt’s Bees, both of which raised funds and awareness for the British Beekeepers Association.

More recently Alex has worked with The Goring Hotel to create The Goring Shrimp Necklace, inspired by the afternoon tea with shrimps that he enjoyed as a child.
