British craft and London goldsmithing

Jewellery is bench-made in small batches and hand-finished in the London workshop rather than mass-produced. The making process is rooted in traditional goldsmithing skills, including forming, soldering, stone matching, setting, polishing and detailed quality control. Solid 18ct gold, natural diamonds and gemstones are sourced through trusted UK suppliers. Stones are selected and hand-matched before setting, and pieces are hallmarked in London where applicable.

Lena Cohen Jewellery is listed in the maker directories of Heritage Crafts and the Crafts Council, placing the atelier within contemporary British craft and independent jewellery making.

Modern everyday fine jewellery

The design language is modern classic: clean lines, fine proportions and a quietly refined finish shaped by the practical, polished way Londoners dress. Lena Cohen Jewellery is particularly known for diamond and gemstone studs, secure screw-back and flat-back earrings, delicate huggie hoops, curated-ear jewellery, fine gold necklaces and understated rings that can be worn individually or layered.

Lena Cohen Jewellery: Independent Fine Jewellery Handcrafted in London

Lena Cohen Jewellery is an independent, family-run fine jewellery atelier and goldsmithing studio based in London, UK. We create contemporary jewellery in solid 18ct gold with natural diamonds and coloured gemstones.

Our website brings together three distinct ways to buy: finished pieces ready to buy online, existing Lena Cohen designs made individually to order, and a bespoke service for one-off jewellery and custom engagement rings. The collection includes diamond and gemstone studs, secure screw-back and flat-back earrings, huggie hoops, curated-ear jewellery, necklaces, pendants and rings.

Production is small-batch and workshop-led. Pieces are made and hand-finished at the bench with an emphasis on precise proportions, comfort and durability.

Why this profession?

We grew up around traditional jewellery benches and were drawn to the discipline involved in turning precious metal and stones into something that can be worn for decades.

London continues to shape our work. The way people dress here is practical, polished and individual: tailoring with trainers, fine knitwear with denim, or a simple shirt finished with one carefully chosen piece of jewellery. We design for that rhythm rather than for jewellery that is worn once and kept in a box.

What interests us most is the relationship between beauty and wearability. A diamond stud must sit correctly on the ear. A ring must feel balanced on the hand. A pendant needs the right weight, chain and proportion. These details are quiet, but they determine whether a piece becomes part of someone’s life.

Who is our jewellery for?

Our clients are people who value solid precious metals, natural stones and careful workmanship over mass production or logo-led luxury. Many are professional and creative women buying fine jewellery for themselves, alongside partners, gift buyers and couples looking for a made-to-order or bespoke engagement ring.

The website is our principal shop. Ready-to-buy pieces can be purchased online, while existing designs are available made to order. Customers can also receive personal online guidance from the jewellers on sizing, proportions, earring fit, post length and natural diamond or gemstone selection.

Bespoke commissions are intended for clients who want an individually developed design rather than a simplified or lower-cost version of an existing piece. Projects include engagement rings, one-off pendants and significant personal jewellery.

The materials we use most and where we source them

We work in solid 18ct yellow and white gold rather than plated metal or vermeil. Our pieces are set with natural diamonds, coloured gemstones and pearls sourced through established UK suppliers and specialist stone dealers.

Diamonds and gemstones are selected according to the requirements of each design. Stones for earrings are carefully matched before setting, while centre stones for made-to-order and bespoke pieces are considered individually for cut, colour, proportions and budget.

Each jewel is inspected after setting, finished by hand and hallmarked at the London Assay Office where applicable. Our approach to sustainability is centred on longevity: precious materials, small-scale production, repairable construction and jewellery designed to remain wearable beyond a single season.

The techniques and tools we use

Our workshop practice combines traditional goldsmithing skills with modern precision. Depending on the piece, this includes hand fabrication and forming, laser and torch soldering, stone matching, prong, bezel and pavé setting, precision polishing and detailed quality control.

For bespoke rings and technically complex pieces, CAD may be used selectively to examine proportions and construction before production. Technology helps us test a design, but the final jewellery is resolved, assembled, set, inspected and finished at the bench.

Our online presentation follows the same practical approach. We use real-life photography on the body, provide clear dimensions and explain how pieces fit and fasten. Customers can shop online while still receiving knowledgeable, personal guidance from the small jewellery team responsible for the work.

How is the profession evolving?

Fine jewellery is both an enduring craft and an evolving business. Traditional bench skills, precious materials and careful stone setting remain fundamental, but clients now also expect comfort, transparency and the ability to make an informed purchase online.

For an independent jeweller, digital access creates an important opportunity. A small London workshop can now sell ready-to-buy jewellery, produce existing designs to order and guide bespoke clients without becoming a mass-market brand. Clear photographs, accurate measurements, material specifications and realistic production times are now as important to the customer experience as the finished jewel.

The principal risk is not innovation itself, but the growth of look-alike, short-lived jewellery accompanied by vague claims about materials or making. The future of the profession lies in combining genuine craft with precise information, thoughtful engineering and direct access to skilled jewellers.

How did we learn and become professionals?

Our training was studio-based and apprenticeship-led, grounded in more than 20 years of experience around London’s traditional diamond jewellery trade.

We learned fabrication, stone setting, soldering, finishing and quality control at the bench. Over time, we developed a particular interest in proportion and wearability by testing how earrings, rings and necklaces sit on the body in real life.

Lena Cohen Jewellery grew naturally from that experience: first through refined everyday pieces and fine ear jewellery, then into a broader online collection of ready-to-buy and made-to-order designs, alongside a selective bespoke practice.

What would we recommend to young people interested in this profession?

Master the foundations: sawing, filing, forming, soldering, setting and polishing. Learn to assess your work from every angle because there are no unimportant surfaces or details in fine jewellery.

Design for the body, not only for the photograph. Jewellery must sit correctly, feel comfortable and add something to the wearer rather than compete with them. Understand precious metals, stones, hallmarking and sourcing well enough to explain them clearly to a customer.

Do not rush into bulk production before you understand your craft, your client and the purpose of your work. An independent jewellery business is built through consistency, trust, aftercare and a recognisable point of view. Keep the work focused, make it properly and allow the right clientele to grow around it.
