Hancocks: 175 Years of History & Heritage
Hosted by Gem X co-founder Heidi Garnett Amy & Guy Burton, Directors at Hancocks London.
Amy and Guy Burton opened the exquisite doors of the new Hancocks’ townhouse and treated us to an evening of bejewelled merriment.
Each beautifully decorated room in the house pays homage to a different facet of their family’s storied business, Hancocks, and showcases a different array of treasures that left us in awe. From slinky Buccellati bracelets to Cipullo-designed Cartier necklaces, rare Georgian chandelier earrings to 15ct antique diamond rings—every piece told a story that captivated our imaginations, and displayed craftsmanship and gems that stole our hearts.
One of many highlights? An up-close look at Hancocks’ original business ledger, perfectly preserved through the ages and filled with incredible tales.
A heartfelt thank you to Amy, Guy and the Hancocks team for such a wondrous, jewel-studded evening. To quote our gracious hosts, “Jewellery is the icing on the cake of life. It should be a joy to wear and a joy unto itself.” Our evening at Hancocks was certainly the icing on another spectacular year and a joy unto itself!
