The journey begins

The company was founded. Stephen gets his first feature in Timeout and there is a lot of interest in our brand.

In 1996 our Skull & Crossbones taps, Nails stools and Birdfeeder featured in Elle Decoration and Freeway magazines amongst many others.

In 1997 we developed our first commercial website with a prominent Gay and Lesbian section. Everyone told us we were mad and that no one will ever buy jewellery online, but we persist!

Stephen has a large profile piece in Japanese Esquire.

Designer collaborations

Buzz around the Stephen Einhorn name really started to grow and we began working with big fashion brands. Stephen collaborated with Paul Smith on an exclusive collection and was then asked to design Paul Smith's first range of women's jewellery.

Stephen also designed a range for Dunhill men, amongst other brands.

Thames Wood

We bought our fabulous Thames Wood - part of the only wooden Roman Docks built in London. It is dated by the Department of Dendrochronology at UCL, and we have used it as part of our designs ever since to create iconic and unusual collections such as the Rivera.

Our skull eggcups are featured in Egg Cup World!

Get the London look

We unveiled our first full shop re-fit, turning our rather quirky showroom into a place where customers feel comfortable to spend time, have a chat, have a lovely glass of something sparkly and peruse our new collections.

We had some wonderful light fittings made for us and custom built cabinets that show off our striking pieces in the way they deserve!

Lights, Camera, Jewellery

In 2011 we were one of the first jewellers to be certified to sell Fairtrade Gold.

This is also the year that we really ramped up our film work! We made a ring for Johnny Depp's character in Dark Shadows (five rings in all for Johnny's stunt doubles as well!) and a fish key ring for Eva Green's character.

In 2012 Stephen worked with award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood on Snow White And The Huntsman. We created two pieces for the film, including a collar featuring brass stag beetles for Charlize Theron's character.

In 2013 Stephen made some jewellery for Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie, and a belt buckle for James Corden for the feature film Into the Woods.

A Commitment

In 2020 Stephen Einhorn is awarded the Butterfly Mark by Positive Luxury for sustainability.

Throughout the Covid pandemic we worked hard to keep the business running with a reduced team, and began work on our new website.

2022 ia a big year for us for far. We launched our new and improved website in February. We hope you love it as much as we do!

In March we launched our collaboration with A Bathing Ape, which includes an exclusive silver and enamel logo ring and a re-imagining of the iconic 'Fire Garden' we first created with the brand over 20 years ago.

“Stephen and I have worked together on various ventures for years. It feels very natural. I find him very inspiring as he can make absolutely anything which opens up a whole world to me of amazing creativity. We have always complimented each other perfectly as we have very differing skills, but some of them are the same which I think makes us quite a dynamic team!”
