Boodles — founded in 1798 and family-owned ever since — is one of Britain's most respected jewellers, with showrooms in London, Manchester, Liverpool and beyond. Its best-known design, Raindance, scatters round brilliant diamonds at different heights so they catch the light like falling rain, and it sits at the heart of the brand's appeal.
