Garrard was founded in London in 1735 by George Wickes, and in 1843 Queen Victoria appointed it the first-ever official Crown Jeweller — a role it held for more than 160 years.[1] Few names carry as much British royal weight, which is exactly why genuine Garrard pieces are sought after on the secondary market.
What is Garrard jewellery?
Garrard is a British house with deep royal ties — it created the Imperial Crown of India (1911), Queen Mary's coronation crown and Queen Elizabeth's 1937 crown.[2] Its modern signature is the cluster setting (the 1735 collection) and fine coloured gemstones, across rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets and brooches in 18ct gold and platinum with diamonds. Genuine pieces are signed Garrard and carry full British hallmarks.

What hallmarks does Garrard use?
UK assay-office hallmarks — the metal standard (750/18ct or platinum), assay-office town mark and a date letter — alongside the Garrard maker's mark.
How much is vintage Garrard jewellery worth?
It depends on the diamonds and gems, the metal, the design and period, condition and papers. Royal-era and important pieces command the most. Send a photo for a free valuation.
