About Lavey London
Jewellery for the moments that matter and the memories that outlast them.
Lavey London is an independent fine jewellery atelier founded by designer Lauren Hiney, specialising in made-to-order engagement rings, wedding bands and modern heirlooms. Inspired by the sentiment of her own family jewellery, Lauren brings a deeply personal perspective to her work, designing pieces to be cherished now and become ever more precious with time.
Lauren's appreciation for fine jewellery began with her great aunt's jewellery box. As a child, she would sit beside her, trying on treasured rings and listening to the stories held within them. It was her earliest understanding that the true value of jewellery goes far beyond the precious materials from which it is made. Over a lifetime, each piece becomes a vessel for memories, an heirloom entrusted from one generation to the next.
With a handful of tools and her mother's kitchen table as her first bench, Lauren began teaching herself jewellery making, spending hours experimenting and slowly falling in love with the craft. Alongside this, a career in product development took her behind the scenes of how things are made, working with materials, workshops and makers around the world to deepen her understanding of provenance and the people and processes behind each piece. Lavey London grew naturally from these two worlds: a love of design and a belief that how something is made matters just as much as how it looks.
Lauren went on to develop her craft at the British Academy of Jewellery (BAJ) and further her understanding of diamonds with the International Gemological Institute (IGI). Her eye has always been drawn to the quieter details, the kind that give a piece its character without demanding attention. This instinct shapes Lavey London's design language: romantic and refined, with delicate, unexpected details that reveal themselves the closer you look.
The name Lavey London is a quiet tribute to Lauren’s British and Irish heritage, and to the sense of history woven through her work. Antique and vintage jewellery remain a gentle source of inspiration, their romance reimagined with a lighter, more contemporary sensibility. The result feels timeless from afar, unexpected up close.
Every Lavey piece is designed and made to order in Hatton Garden, bringing together recycled precious metals and carefully selected natural or lab-grown diamonds. For engagement rings and private commissions, the experience is personal from the beginning, with guidance through stone selection and the details that make a design entirely your own.
