Alex Monroe at Skills England with UKFT

31/03/2021

Alex Monroe jewellery is synonymous with a very British sense of style. It is feminine, delicate and quirky, but above all consistently wearable. Now a much loved brand world-wide, each and every piece is individually designed and handmade in England by Alex and his team of expert jewellers. Inspired by nature and nostalgia, every piece has a tale to tell.

Alex grew up in the countryside, in the wilds of Suffolk in a big old house surrounded by nature. He lived a life of adventure in rivers and forests, roaming freely in nature’s playground. After training at the Sir John Cass School of Art in London, Alex created his first collection in 1987 to critical acclaim. His intention was to produce excellent quality jewellery, which was originally designed, hand made and well priced. This was jewellery made to be worn and made to be loved and these values remain unchanged to this day.

Alex and his design team create all original designs by hand in sterling silver, allowing them to achieve the brand’s signature detail. When its jewellery goes into production, it is still hand-finished by skilled craftspeople in the brand’s London workshops, and Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.

Alex Monroe says:

“We’re extremely proud that each and every Alex Monroe pieces is handmade in England.”
