Thousands of other men and modern couples, who choose engagement rings together, can now avoid such a situation thanks to a special bespoke service: Mappin&Webb – By Appointment.

Mappin & Webb is one of the oldest British companies, having been founded by Jonathan Mappin in 1775. A long time has passed since it first won the recognition of its clients, which include some rather well-known names: the Romanov family, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor and the former French queen, Marie Antoinette. The portraits of these illustrious clients can be found hanging in the flagship shop on Bond Street. Mappin&Webb received its first royal warrant in 1897, indicating the high quality of the workmanship of its jewellery and silver objects. Now however, the company has two warrants; the warrant of Her Majesty the Queen and HRH Prince of Wales. In 2012 one of Mappin&Webb’s craftsman was appointed as the Crown Jeweller.
