OUR HISTORY
Augustine Studios was part of the design group The Silver Studio from 1860 to 1963. Collections from The Silver Studio are curated at Middlesex University and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Augustine Studios was bought by the founder of Augustine Jewels, Alexandra, in 1995, with the dream of being able to revive it as a design studio specializing in London jewellery, handmade jewellery, and bespoke jewellery at a later date.
