About Garrard:
Garrard, the international jeweller with a cultural heritage of unparalleled richness was founded by master goldsmith George Wickes in 1722, who received his first royal commission in 1735. By the time the firm had passed into the hands of Robert Garrard in 1802, whose name it still bears, creating designs of matchless magnificence for the social and royal sects had become a matter of course.
Garrard's lavishly seductive collections can be found today at its flagship stores in London's Albemarle Street, Beverly Hill's Rodeo Drive, and New York's Soho – or on display in the permanent exhibition in the Tower of London, where the Crown Jewels reside. Garrard's legacy of devotion to the highest degree of workmanship has been the company's trademark since the first designs drew the attention of the world nearly three hundred years ago. Garrard continues to passionately embrace the past by creating tomorrow's heirlooms today. For more information visit www.garrard.com
