The Links of London brand was fully launched in 1990 after a local restaurant commissioned the design of a pair of sterling silver fish cufflinks as a gift to loyal clientele. The Harvey Nichols fashion store located in the UK got wind of the design and immediately placed the pieces on their shelves. Links of London offers an eclectic mix of men’s and women’s jewelry in sterling silver, 18kt gold, and leather. Today, this brand has stores in the UK, Hong Kong, US, and Canada.

Scottish Designer Scott Stephen is know for using fine fabrics to create handcrafted jewelry art. Stephen attended the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Scotland, and graduated in 2000. He then moved to Milan, and began designing prints for several leading fashion houses. Then in 2002, Stephen moved to London and created his first collection. His designs are polished and edgy, with attention to detail being the focus.
