There was no pressure to buy, but after a leisurely afternoon trying on gorgeous rings, I found the one. It's not just a ring, it's a memory of a really special day.
— Susie AshfieldAmazing company, friendly and helpful staff, they’ve helped me chose the most beautiful gifts. I cannot recommend them enough.
— Linda FiumaraGreat customer service. Very helpful. Beautifully packaged. Could not have asked for more! Highly recommended.
— Beverley HarrisBest antique jewellers in London. So helpful, honest and friendly. And have amazing stock!
— Toby WaftaI live in the United States, and working with the AJC was easier than going into a store here! They were easily accessible and we even did a video Skype session for additional looks. They had the ring sized and out and shipped to the USA by the next day. Simply an amazing customer experience!
— Ben, Atlanta, USAWonderful service and a beautiful piece of jewellery - just as described and perfectly wrapped and delivered with care. Exceptional.
— Simon KingsburyFabulous, friendly and a delight to visit and purchase from, see you again soon
— Alex, LondonExcellent quality and exceptional service as ever.
— Jonathan GrantExcellent service with personal attention to detail and the item fully matching the description and photograph. This is the first place I will go to for future purchases of fine antique jewellery.
— Richard AdamsA remarkable experience with this company. If one can say that at every stage one was treated chivalrously - then, yes, I was. Stunning piece of jewellery only eclipsed by the sensitive understanding of Olly Gerrish.
— Ruth WestbrookA superb product and service. We really can't recommend enough. Great personal service, have no concerns, these guys are A1!
— Jo MitchardAn absolute joy to deal with, what a fantastic company! I will definitely use them again. A big thankyou to all of the team.
— Sophia DaleWonderful selection of antique jewellery with fantastic customer service and punctual delivery!
— Ed StoneThe antique jewellery company is fantastic. Not only do they have beautiful old jewelry but the service is exceptional.
— Mary MartinaAlways wonderful to work with. Piece was even beyond expectation! I will be back for more wonderful items!!
— Lisa ShulerOlly and Matt were great resources when trying to make important decision from abroad and twice were willing to have Skype meetings to show me some rings. I purchased my wife's engagement ring, then subsequently my own wedding band from Olly. Both were absolutely spectacular and absolutely perfect - exactly what we wanted. I plan on stopping by each time I visit London.
— Mark Robinson, SeattleGreat website, great selection, London based, excellent & quick customer service. Brilliant little family operation! 10/10
— Tom MccaughanI had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. A family business in a great new location, flooded with natural light. The family are clearly passionate about their business and create an informal, yet extremely helpful service.
— Mark StevensA great place with unique jewellery. For those with sublime tastes and appreciation for antique pieces. Their collection is impressive, and as it is a family-owned business you will not be left alone if a post-purchase help is needed. Great experience, much recommended!
— Paulina LenikThrilled with my new 1920's Art Deco ring to celebrate my 30th Birthday. An absolute pleasure to be looked after at such short notice. The family run business displays such care and attention to detail. Their knowledge far outweighs any other antique jeweller I have experienced. A must visit (By appointment only) for the antique jewellery obsessed! <3
— Rebecca SuttonUnlike most jewellers I have visited in the high street, AJC is very different and I felt immediately at home and under no pressure to buy or to make a decision and move on. I cannot recommend AJC highly enough and wish them all the very best. Importantly, I am very happy indeed with the antique signet ring I bought too. Thanks guys.
— Stuart ConlanI live in Canada and was initially quite concerned at the prospect of buying jewellery online. However I could not be happier with my purchase and the speed in which I received my item. Could not say enough good things about the ring I purchased .Thank you.

The Responsible Choice
Our jewellery is Conflict Free and Eco-Friendly and when purchasing an item from us can be sure you are not contributing to any unethical procedures.
When buying new jewellery you can never be 100% sure that they are not conflict free.
Choosing antique means:
- you are buying conflict-free
- you are not contributing in any way to a locally destructive cycle of violence, warfare, economic inequality, exploitation, and human suffering
- you can have total confidence that your money is not supporting industrial practices that destroy the environment, poison the land, or displace disadvantaged people
- you are helping to eliminate the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds and precious stones
- your item most likely predates any regional conflicts associated with the diamond trade and precious gemstone mining
- you will be reducing your carbon footprint
- you are acting as conservator rather than consumer
To see how authorities are trying to combat conflict diamonds visit the The Kimberley Process website

The AJC Guarantee
We value our customers' peace of mind over everything.
We therefore created our 5 point promise.
1. Quality
We take great pride in our collection of antique jewellery, one that embodies only the very best from across the ages. Under no circumstances will you find any reproductions and, unless stated clearly, all our items are in good condition and 100% original, free from enhancements.
2. Rarity
All our items are one-offs, quite often commissions, meticulously handmade by skilled craftsmen of old. With the steady increase in international, mass-produced jewellery, our antique jewellery has a timeless beauty and charm that simply cannot be replicated.
3. Knowledge
With over 35 years of experience in the London trade, Olly Gerrish has a reputation as one of London's leading antique jewellery authorities; only the best examples from her stock are selected for the site.
4. Peace of Mind
Investing in a piece of antique jewellery can be a daunting process. We value our customers' confidence and peace of mind above all and strive to uphold a culture of trust and decency at all times. Our reputation for providing expert advice and support for our customers should reassure prospective customers. Should a customer for any reason be unhappy with their online purchase we will not hesitate to offer them a 14 day full money back guarantee.
5. The Personal Touch
Finding the perfect piece should be a fun and enlightening experience. To help achieve this we are here to lend our customers a helping hand and provide impartial expert advice. Building lasting relationships is far more important to us than a quick sale.

Ring Sizing
We are pleased to offer complimentary sizings on all ring purchases, undertaken by one of the best jewellers in the business.
Please note:
- Our offer is only valid on the first ring purchase per customer.
- Thereafter, ring sizings are charged at £60 each.
- Sizings usually take 2-3 working days but can vary depending on our jeweller's workload. We always try and get rings sized as quickly as possible.
- We have marked clearly beneath our items which rings can be sized. If you are unsure please let us know.
- Certain rings are not able to be sized due to their design, eg. eternity rings or Georgian rings with ornately carved shanks. In these cases we feel the integrity of the rings would be damaged if sizing took place.
Don't know your size?
- You can find out your ring size now by downloading our nifty Ring Measurer Thingy.
Don't know her size?
Sometimes it can be tricky finding out her size without being caught. In these circumstances we recommend saving your free sizing until after you've proposed orthe recipient has received their ring. Just send your ring back to us via secure post or visit us at our London showroom and we will measure your partner's finger and take it to get sized. Free sizing will remain valid for 1 year after purchase.
