As Britain’s oldest family jeweller – established in 1786 in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter – Deakin & Francis has forged a name for itself as a leading manufacturer of ladies’ fine jewellery, and gentlemen’s luxury accessories. The brand recently launched its ladies’ collection while adding new gentlemen’s pieces to its existing collections, including gold and silver skull accessories, rocket and race car inspired pieces. From classic to quirky, Deakin & Francis can truly make anything.

Alongside its Midlands base, the heritage brand also boasts a flagship store in Mayfair, London in the Piccadilly Arcade. Its fine jewellery has even caught the attention of Hollywood, adorning the wrists of some of the biggest film stars from the recent James Bond and Kingsmen films. 

With a selection of its handcrafted jewellery available in Harrods and over 600 points-of-purchase globally, Deakin & Francis’ ambition is to offer its full collection to a wider international audience. As leaders of global marketing, HDY Agency will work closely with the jewellery brand to create a splash Stateside, while solidifying its brand presence domestically within the UK.
