ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Established in England in the mid-fifties, Attwood & Sawyer specialised in creating costume reproductions of fine jewelry. Many of their most popular items were interpretations of the Duchess of Windsor's, ( Wallis Simpson ) personal collection given to her by King Edward VIII. Their high quality approach to bold costume jewelry is now very sought after. The brand had a very strong presence across the UK and Europe, and went on to produce the jewelry for the television series "Dallas" and "Dynasty" in the 80`s. It continues trading today as Buckley Jewelry Ltd.
