Big news — Sorrell Jewels is now officially stocked inside the iconic Courtauld Gallery gift shop in London!

I’m so excited to finally share this secret project I’ve been working on for the past few months. Curating a collection of vintage treasures for such a historic and inspiring space has been an absolute dream.

The Creative Process

This all started back in December, when I visited the gallery to soak in the space and get inspired. From the lapis staircases to the ornate frames and Renaissance paintings — every detail sparked ideas.

I pulled together a mood board, then set off sourcing from antique markets, vintage fairs, and online auctions. Each piece reflects something I saw or felt in the gallery — whether it’s a gemstone that echoes a painting, or a charm that ties into a historical detail.

A Few Favourite Details

I also sourced a dreamy lineup of vintage foodie charms — from tiny gold veggies to enamel fruit baskets and silver teapots. These little treasures are now available in the gift shop too.

After being stocked at Tate Britain, it still feels surreal to now be part of another legendary London gallery. If you’d told me in 2020, when I was selling vintage rings on Depop, that this would happen... I wouldn’t have believed you.

Thank you for being part of this journey — your support means the world.

With love,
