Queensmith & the LGBTQ+ community
Recognising the individuality of each couple we work with has always been a huge part of our ethos. The engagement, wedding and fine jewellery industry can seem a little too traditional at times - so we know how important it is that we’re welcoming and visible to all communities. We’re proud to have grown a strong and loving LGBTQ+ client base over the years, and will always endeavour to contribute to a more inclusive industry.
Here's more about Queensmith's offering as an LGBTQ+ friendly jewellers.
What makes Queensmith different?
We make bespoke simple: transparent expert-led advice for hassle-free decisions plus exquisite in-house crafting that keeps things cost effective. It's a recipe for creating your ring, your way, at a price you like.
Learn more about Queensmith & our values.
At Queensmith, we celebrate the artistry of Hatton Garden, and our in-house workshop is integral to keeping our trade authentic. Sadly, the amount of Hatton Garden jewellers still crafting rings to order has dwindled over the years - many preferring to supply jewellery from big brands and mass producers.
We’re proud to have our own team of goldsmiths working in our Hatton Garden showroom - and to celebrate our crafters in all that they do, we’ve designed our studio to allow visitors to see our craftspeople in action. Take a step into our showroom to meet with our talented artisans, become a part of the narrative and create something exceptionally personal.

How did it all begin?
It began with a desire to make bespoke - simple.
Queensmith founder, Brett, visited London’s Hatton Garden jewellery quarter in search of a ring for Natalie, to celebrate the birth of their baby. Ring after ring, store after store, the experience was missing Brett and Natalie’s own story.
In a sea of hurried and homogenous sales tactics, Brett discovered a desire to create a different jewellery-buying experience. So the purpose of Queensmith was realised: to offer an immersive experience in which every couple, their personal decisions and their own sentiments are at the centre of their jewellery. Crafted exquisitely, in-house, at a transparent price.
Why are your workshops in-house?
Unlike many contemporary jewellers, we keep the production of our rings in-house and crafted by local talent. We never sell mass produced jewellery, so our clients can feel secure in the knowledge that their jewellery was created just for them, just the way they wanted.
Our in-house workshops allow us to cut out the middleman and maintain transparent and authentic provenance throughout the creation process. We’re able to keep our overhead costs controlled, whilst paying our own goldsmiths fairly for their meticulous work. We’re also able to make sure high quality standards are always met, with no exceptions, so we can be held accountable for the workmanship in every piece we sell. It just makes sense!

Are your diamonds ethically sourced?
Yes - every stone we sell and work with is sourced from reputable, trusted suppliers who share our values for transparency. We’re proud supporters of the Kimberley Process, which has prevented 99.8% of the global supply of conflict diamonds, and continue to expand our expert-led lab diamond offering. We also refuse to work with gemstones from conflict areas.
