Pioneers of Elegance Since 1832

Founded in 1832 in the midst of the shipbuilding boom, Blacklock Jewellery soon became the leading Diamond Merchant and ‘county’ jeweller for the North East of England. As pioneers in fine jewellery, we invite you to explore our story.

Sustainably Sourced Diamonds and Gemstones

A timeless diamond or bright and bold precious gemstone takes thousands of years to form. We feel it is our duty to try to protect the earth and the beautiful gifts it gives us. All of our diamonds and gemstones are sustainably sourced.

Bespoke Jewellery, London-Made

Since 1832, Blacklock has been creating jewellery that stands apart. Our bespoke service brings together exceptional gemstones, time-honoured techniques, and contemporary design. From one-of-a-kind engagement rings to sensitive jewellery remodelling, each London-made piece is designed to last a lifetime and beyond. Discover the full breadth of our bespoke service and the craftsmanship that defines it.

At Blacklock, bespoke jewellery is where craft meets meaning. For over 190 years, we’ve believed that jewellery is more than adornment — it’s an intimate expression of self and a way to mark life’s defining moments. A ring that seals a promise, a pendant that holds a memory close, a bracelet that whispers of love — each piece becomes part of your story.

Your story is our starting point. Every bespoke design is shaped by your vision and brought to life through conversations, sketches, and shared imagination — never from templates. Together, we shape every detail — stone, metal, silhouette — until it feels unmistakably yours.

Guided by our lead designer, gemmologist, and master jeweller, each creation is realised using techniques honed over generations. From sourcing diamonds of rare character to perfecting the final polish, every element is handcrafted with precision, artistry, and care. The result is a piece of enduring beauty — designed to be worn, cherished, and passed on as part of your story.

Every Blacklock creation begins with the stone — its character, its beauty, its story. Our ability to source rare and exceptional gemstones is built on generations of expertise and trusted relationships. Whether large or small, each stone must meet our uncompromising standards: impeccable provenance, extraordinary colour, and a quality that is truly the finest of its kind.

Be believe in letting the natural beauty of the gemstone take centre stage. Our designs use minimal metal to create a sense of lightness and fluidity — intricate yet refined. The result is a subtle harmony of form and colour, crafted to highlight the rarest stones with effortless elegance.

For generations, Blacklock has been the trusted jeweller for discerning private clients, collectors, and those seeking truly one-of-a-kind creations. From timeless engagement rings to personal wedding jewellery and bespoke heirlooms, our heritage is built on crafting pieces that are as unique as the stories they celebrate — works of art designed to be cherished for a lifetime and beyond.

Few commissions hold as much meaning as a bespoke engagement ring. Whether you arrive with a clear vision or seek inspiration, we work closely with you to create a design that marks the beginning of your next chapter.

Every detail — from the choice of diamond or gemstone to the setting and precious metal — is shaped around your preferences. We source stones only from trusted suppliers, ensuring your ring reflects not just beauty, but integrity.

As with all our collections, there are no limits to what we can create. Our bespoke bridal pieces are designed to capture personal stories, milestones, and moments of love.

Sentimental pieces deserve to be worn and loved anew. Our Refresh and Reset remodelling service transforms your existing diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals into designs that reflect your style today — without losing their history.

Ideal for updating engagement rings, wedding bands, or treasured heirlooms, remodelling lets you carry forward the memories while embracing a look that’s truly yours.

Our bespoke process is the pinnacle of Blacklock’s craft — an intimate collaboration that gives you the freedom to be involved as much, or as little, as you wish. We begin with a consultation to explore your vision, then translate it into detailed sketches so you can see the design take shape. Together, we select the finest materials — ethically sourced gemstones or vintage gold — before our master jewellers handcraft your piece using time-honoured techniques. From the first sketch to the final polish, you’ll witness handcrafted excellence meeting innovation, with every material responsibly sourced and every detail considered.

The result: a piece that is entirely yours — rich in meaning and made to last for generations.

From bespoke engagement rings to heirloom remodelling, we’re here to bring your vision to life.
