Luxury high street retailer Goldsmiths is set to launch a new collection in-store from highly-acclaimed brand Mappin & Webb this August, which will be exclusive to the Bullring showroom in Birmingham.
The jewellery from Mappin & Webb will be available at selected Goldsmiths’ showrooms across the UK and online, marking a collaboration of two brands steeped in tradition and quality.
Goldsmiths has a rich history in jewellery design and craftsmanship with over 230 years of expertise. Meanwhile, Royal Warrant holders since 1897 and marking some of England's most significant cultural moments, Mappin & Webb maintains warrants to both Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales.
The additions to Goldsmiths Bullring’soffering will include key styles from the Masquerade Collection. Introduced alongside Goldsmiths’ extensive choice of jewellery lines will also be a range of engagement rings as part of the Bridal Collection from Mappin & Webb as well as bespoke ring service, ‘By Appointment’.
The Mappin & Webb ‘By Appointment’ service offers clients the chance to create a truly one-of-a-kind engagement ring. Clients are invited to make a private appointment with the bridal experts where they will be introduced to the unique heritage of Mappin & Webb, Royal Warrant Holder since 1897.
Under the guidance of the in-house bridal experts, clients will be presented with Mappin & Webb’s original seven engagement ring mounts, each inspired by the brand’s 241 year-old archive.
Mappin & Webb recently announced British actress Gabriella Wilde as the brand ambassador of its new Forever Since 1775 campaign. Recognised for her quintessentially romantic roles, the campaign featuring Gabriella draws inspiration from British romance and highlights Mappin & Webb’s deep-rooted heritage and unwavering royal connections.
The Forever Since 1775 campaign, shot by acclaimed photographer Bruno Dayan at the superb early 18th-century Antony House in Cornwall, marks a new chapter in the jeweller’s history as Gabriella Wilde will be the first ever brand ambassador for Mappin & Webb.
Executive brand director at Goldsmiths and Mappin & Webb, Craig Bolton, said: “Mappin & Webb is synonymous with excellence, craftsmanship and true British design and so it’s a seamless partnership with the Goldsmiths brand.
“As we approach AW16, we are even better-equipped to compete as a business in today’s fine jewellery market and we’re looking forward to building and developing our brands’ reputations together. We’re confident that our customers will be inspired by the new collection and the move will mean great success for the future.”
