From Wikipedia: Butler & Wilson started in 1969 at Chelsea’s Antiquarius Market. In 1972, the company moved to its flagship store on Fulham Road in London,[3] then opened a further retail outlet on South Molton Street, London.[4]
At the end of the 1970s, Simon Wilson designed the Christmas Lights for Regent Street, and in the 1980s, they worked alongside Pirelli calendars and Giorgio Armani,[3] whilst establishing a retail presence in Harrods and on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles.
In 1993, when Buckingham Palace first opened to the public, the company was invited to design a range of jewellery that took inspiration from the palace’s interior.[3]
QVC started selling Butler & Wilson’s jewellery in 1995.[5] The companies celebrated this twenty-five-year partnership in 2020.
The company’s jewellery has been worn by several notable celebrities over the years. Princess Diana was a frequent shopper at the Fulham Road store, and wore a pair of Butler & Wilson’s crescent-moon-shaped earrings during a meeting with the Sultan of Oman.[6] Other famous people that have worn the brand’s jewellery in the past include Jerry Hall, Iman, Catherine Deneuve, Faye Dunaway and Elle Macpherson.[7] More recently, Rihanna, Madonna and Rita Ora have worn Butler & Wilson jewellery, as has the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton.[8]
