from Hatton Garden
to New Delhi
A well-established, long-term Anglo-Indian partnership, Albion Fine Jewellery has been producing gorgeous bespoke jewellery for many years. In the past, many of the beauties that burst from its benches were made as replacement pieces for the UK insurance trade. In recent years, recognising the discriminating buyer's demand for the more singular, one off and even unique pieces, Albion has made an unrivalled name for itself in answering those very specific needs.
think perfection,
with a touch of the unusual…
Albion Fine Jewellery has long been the maker of choice for the more discerning of jewellery specialist retailers, not only in the United Kingdom but all over the world. For many years the company has been proud to employ the best craftsmen in the country, treasuring them and their skills and paying them well. Indeed, Albion's owners attribute the company's international standing and success directly to the quality of the people they recruit. Anybody with knowledge of the international jewellery trade will know of the Art Loss Register, holder of the world's largest database of stolen art, antiques and valuables. Albion is one of its sister companies.
not only keeping tradition alive
but enhancing it
Age old techniques, extraordinary talents and unique ways with the precious resources of the world have been handed down - literally - through generations of craftsmen. Fortunately for Albion - and for you - the best of these now sit at benches in the company's New Delhi atelier. The skills are ancient but put their dexterity together with the most high tech super- modern equipment and you have the best of all possible worlds.
the art of
the finest goldsmiths
Unlike much of today's gold jewellery, everything created in the Albion studios is carried out or made by hand at every stage, from choosing the raw materials to the final polish. Each creation, be it a ring, bracelet, necklace, earring, whatever piece of finery, is formed, set, finished and polished by a talented individual. From the most cutting-edge, minimalist idea, to an exquisite re-creation of a much - loved old design, each piece is imbued with its craftsman's character. Albion's international customers prize those little quirks, the characterful idiosyncrasies and the individuality that comes from handcrafting. However, if you require several of the same item and uniformity is your priority, Albion also offers very fine casting, using the lost wax method.
if you can imagine it,
Albion can put it into your hands…
Every day the Albion team of some forty master craftsmen produces, by hand, exquisite jewellery. They beat and form the gold bullion that's been haggled for in Delhi. They cut, set and polish gems from the world's biggest diamond dealers in Mumbai's Opera House District. Emeralds, rubies and every other precious stone you can think of flood in from Jaipur for them to work their magic. Albion sources pearls from Hyderabad, cut diamonds in Surat; go wherever is needed to get the best of every raw material. Of the millions of jewellery manufacturers there can't be many who can make Albion Fine Jewellery's claim that everything that leaves their atelier is handmade by master goldsmiths using traditional skills handed down from one generation to the next. That's what makes them unique.
