Alex Monroe Jewellery

British jewellery designer Alex Monroe grew up in Suffolk surrounded by fields, rivers and the plants and creatures which inhabit them. He trained at Sir John Cass School Of Art in London, and uses nature to inspire his whimsical, intricately beautiful jewellery.

Established in 1986, his core aspirations remain unchanged; to make great quality, wearable jewellery, which is originally designed and well priced.

Nature has always been Alex’s greatest inspiration. Whether from travels in Pakistan, walks along the hedgerows of Suffolk or even the Tuscan hills, his designs always remain inherently English. Alex always makes the original by hand in sterling silver, which gives his work its distinctive signature of such exquisite detail. He uses his skills to craft jewellery that is slightly quirky, sometimes cute, but always very feminine. The jewellery is both pretty and humorous, but consistently wearable.

July 2008 saw Alex being awarded the prestigious title of 'Designer of the Year' at the UK Jewellery Awards 2008. It was the highest praise Alex could receive, and the judges were unanimous in their decision saying: “His quality is perfect and his style is so consistent.”

Alex Monroe's distinctive designs have earned him many admirers in the press, as they are always a firm favourite with the girls working at the glossies! The now classic Bumblebee Necklace has graced the pages of Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, InStyle, Red.....the list goes on! The result of this is that the jewellery is now "must-have" and when Sophie Dahl was pictured wearing the Bee, stockists including ourselves reported instant sell-outs, with boutiques across the country clamouring for Alex's classic designs. Despite this, the brand does not rely on celebrity 'endorsement', all clients are genuine fans - Sienna Miller, Emma Watson, Carey Mulligan, Emilia Fox, Thandie Newton, Lisa Snowdon and Jo Whiley to name a few.
