Betty pearl studs

18th Birthday Jewelry

The first proper piece. 18th birthday jewelry should be real, real pearls and solid silver, not plated, and small enough to wear every day from now on. Engrave the date or her initials and it becomes the thing she still has at forty. Everything here is made by hand in our London workshop. Pick the kind of thing, and we'll show you five, and the one we'd choose. Prices are on every piece.

Engraving

Add a date, or her initials

Almost everything here can be engraved by hand in our workshop: the date, her initials, the thing you always say to her. Hidden on the inside of a ring or bangle, or on the back of a heart or charm. From $10 an engraving. Engraved pieces can't be returned, so if you're unsure of the size, order it plain and we'll engrave it together afterwards.

Seal it inside a heart she has to break

We wrap the piece in soft cloth and seal it inside a plaster heart, hand painted in the color you choose. To reach what's inside, she has to crack it open.

Having misunderstood where my daughter wanted to buy a skull ring as her birthday present, I made an appointment at Stephen Einhorn. I'm very glad I got it wrong! A wonderful experience having a very beautiful ring made.

My second time buying from Stephen Einhorn. Faultless, efficient and very friendly service. And most importantly, my wife loves the piece of jewelry as much as the last one!
