At London’s living heart, there is a street which has been attracting people around the world for centuries – Hatton Garden. Because of its bizarre artistry and luxury emporiums, it’s no wonder that this diamond hub has attracted the attention of celebrities including the famous reality TV star Spencer Matthews.
For fans of “Made in Chelsea” Spencer Mathews and Vogue Williams journey of romance was nothing less than a fairytale. However, behind the curtains, Spencer’s dedication to craft a perfect engagement ring rather than choosing any ordinary ring off the shelf was very special for Vogue.
By the time when Spencer Matthews finally decided to propose to Vogue, he definitely knew one thing – the ring cannot be ordinary from the bulk produced designs. It had to be one of its kind and timeless. For someone who has always been in the public eye from appearing in Made in Chelsea to building his own empire, Spencer knew the values of authenticity. And so, his journey to find the ring didn’t start from any emporium or catalogue, but from the heart of London’s jewellery district, where Custom Jewellery Hatton Garden runs through generations of craftsmanship.
The Beginning of the Sparkle
Like many modern love stories, Spencer’s journey did not start with majesty but with his intent to buy a ring that suits Vogue personality and their relationship.
“I didn’t want to just walk into a store and pick something off the shelf,” ““I wanted to be part of the process, to create something with meaning.” Spencer Matthews later in an interview.
The mission to find a custom ring led him to Custom Jewellery Hatton Garden, the place he heard about from his close friends. For Spencer, Hatton Garden wasn’t just a jewellery shopping district, but a destination where he could find what he wanted.
Why Celebrities Are Choosing Hatton Garden
Hatton Garden is not just a regular London street. It’s a legacy that has run through the mid 19th century. It’s a home to master jewellers, workshops and craftsmen who have inherited skills from ancestors. It has workshops where clients can get involved in every step in the process, from selecting the gem to shaping the design.
For Spencer Matthews it was a collaborative journey. Later in an interview he stated “I liked the idea of being part of the journey,” “You sit down with a jeweler, you talk about the person you love, what they like, and then you create something unique together. That’s really powerful.”
Spencer visited most of the showrooms in Hatton Garden, so he could find a jeweller that could understand his vision. After multiple sketches, and discussion, his vision finally came to life.
The Big Reveal
When the moment finally came, Spencer didn’t just have the ring, he had the symbol of a love story. Vogue just froze when she looked at the details and beauty of the ring. She later stated – “it felt like it had been designed “just for her”—which, of course, it had.
