    WELCOME TO ARIL JEWELS!

     

    LOVELY TO MEET YOU, WE'RE CHLOË & KAYLA

  • A little bit about us...

     

    We met while we were both working in high-end jewellery on Bond Street. Kindred spirits from the start, we've had the privilege of working with the finest ateliers in London, where rare and beautiful gemstones are transformed into stunning pieces of jewellery. We bonded over a shared love for antique jewellery, gems and belting out the odd song while working!

     

    We came together and founded Aril Jewels in 2022 to combine all facets of our expertise and offer clients a dream team they can trust. Believing that antique jewellery, while beautiful, is too delicate to wear every day, we are on a mission to create contemporary pieces with all the best qualities of antique jewellery. Our passion is creating incredibly special, future heirlooms that symbolise life's most precious moments. We believe that this process should always be fun -  after all, beautiful jewellery is one of life's joys! 

     

    We're proud to use age-old, traditional techniques (alongside only a couple of modern tools) to design and manufacture our jewellery by hand, all in London. Wherever possible, we use recycled gold and platinum for our pieces and we only use highly trusted, ethical suppliers for our gems. 

  • Why Aril Jewels?

    The pomegranate has been a symbol of abundance, fertility, love, and marriage for thousands of years the world over. When extended as an offering, it signifies goodwill and the best of intentions from one heart to another. It is the jewel-like seeds that make up a pomegranate that are called arils. At the heart of Aril Jewels is the desire to express love and a connection with the past. So what more perfect symbol, or name, could there be? 

  • Chloë Woodmansterne MA (Hons) FGA DGA

    Chloë is our gem guru, having studied both gemmology and diamond grading at the prestigious Gemmological Association of Great Britain (Gem-A) before going on to study History at the University of Edinburgh. With an eye for perfection, she will search high and low to find just the right stone for every piece, making sure it’s not only perfectly beautiful but also characterful. This eye for detail combines perfectly with her knowledge of fine jewellery production. She ensures each piece, handmade by our team of master craftsmen, is made to be worn and enjoyed for many years (and generations) to come.
