Who Are Attwood & Sawyer? The Iconic 1960s Jewellers.

Attwood and Sawyer, established in 1956 in Porthcawl, Wales, by Horace Attwood and his silent partner Mr. Sawyer, gained acclaim for producing high-quality costume jewellery that replicated the elegance of 18th and 19th-century pieces.Their creations, often inspired by historical designs, included notable reproductions of jewellery worn by the Duchess of Windsor.

The brand's reputation for crafting exquisite imitation jewellery led to collaborations with popular television series such as "Dallas" and "Dynasty," where their pieces adorned the show's characters. Additionally, Attwood and Sawyer designed jewellery for the Miss World beauty pageant, further cementing their status in the industry.

Attwood and Sawyer's collections featured a diverse range of designs, from animal-themed brooches to intricate necklaces and bracelets, all characterized by meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Their use of materials like Swarovski crystals and 22ct gold plating contributed to the luxurious appeal of their pieces.

In 2001, Buckley Jewellery Ltd acquired Attwood and Sawyer, including their extensive design archives. Recognising the brand's vintage charm and enduring appeal, Buckley Jewellery revitalised Attwood and Sawyer with new designs that honoured its classic aesthetic.
