& Inches commenced the celebrations of our 150th anniversary with a series of
150th Anniversary Suite Signature Collar
exclusive events, stand- out product launches and a partnership with celebrated Scottish sculptor, Dr Andy Scott, creator of the iconic Kelpies. The Kelpie icon has now been translated into a series of stunning silver artefacts bearing Dr Scott’s signature. However, the most notable of launches
was the unveiling of our Hamilton & Inches 150th Anniversary Signature Suite. A showcase of heritage entwined with a passion for the future of Scottish jewellery making, the Anniversary Suite was the brainchild of Debbie McKernan, Head of Jewellery. The three piece suite consists of a diamond collar, diamond earrings and a diamond cuff . The traditional honeycomb setting with double rows of 660 collection quality round brilliant cut diamonds with a total weight of 40.41cts, is a tribute to our company trademark. The cuff carries the H&I signature, hand-engraved to mark its authenticity by Master Engraver Ruaridh Malcomson. The fringe design of the Signature Suite collar originates from Edwardian times when tiaras were converted to neck pieces; the earrings are classic in their
design and the cuff is a contemporary piece – all are set in 18ct white gold. In 150 years, the
original philosophy of Hamilton & Inches remains true, that pieces, whatever the price, should be of high quality
and good value. The company has a proud heritage of customer service and craftsmanship –values which continue to be held in high importance to this day.
