Specialising in the creation of high-quality bespoke engagement rings, personal jewellery and limited-edition designs – each piece is uniquely made to order in their London atelier. Widely regarded as the best when it comes to the creation of engagement rings a recent award win as "Bespoke Jeweller of the Year" from the <a href="https://naj.co.uk/naj-awards-2025" target="_blank">National Association of Jewellers</a> further endorses this remarkable team of experts. </p><p>With a particular emphasis on crafting designs around expertly sourced natural diamonds and gemstones, the team of designers, gemmologists and jewellers are unrivalled when it comes to bringing personal designs to life. </p><p>Most notable is their approach to expedition sourcing. Recent years have seen the team document journeys into the Sri Lankan and Colombian jungle in search of precious stones.  </p><p>The Blackacre team is led by jeweller and designer <a href="https://www.blackacreldn.com/about-us">Sam Stirrat</a>, whose childhood passion for collecting pebbles on the beach and semi precious stones is the foundation upon which the Blackacre vision has evolved. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2592px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:66.67%;"><img id="BZnhwmaYSn9vsPvvUWmRLY" name="Blackacre LBB" alt="Blackacre LBB" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/BZnhwmaYSn9vsPvvUWmRLY.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2592" height="1728" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Blackacre)</span></figcaption></figure><p><u><strong>Bespoke engagement rings:</strong></u></p><p>With no investment or external financing, the team chose from the outset to pick one thing to do better than anyone else – the creation of bespoke engagement rings. By channelling all their energy into a highly customer focussed approach, an exceptional reputation has been built. Now considered by many to be amongst the best when it comes to the creation of unique and personal engagement ring designs.</p><p>Each engagement ring made by Blackacre is created to order in their London workshop by a team that comprises some of the finest craftsmen and women in the world, many of whom have previously worked in the world’s finest luxury jewellery houses.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1406px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:99.86%;"><img id="XFjbmtmBFoxgsSdGiQeEYY" name="Blackacre LBB" alt="Blackacre LBB" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/XFjbmtmBFoxgsSdGiQeEYY.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1406" height="1404" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Blackacre)</span></figcaption></figure><p>A typical engagement ring journey starts with an initial conversation to understand the exact requirements or brief. With no template designs or standardised approach, each client is provided with advice, guidance and information tailored to their needs. From here the team will support you in further homing in on the exact design and specification. Adopting a highly educational and collaborative approach, this process will involve an array of methodologies tailored to the individual couple’s needs – from pencil design work and technical designs, to viewings of loose diamonds or gemstones carefully curated by the team.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:5464px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:149.93%;"><img id="NBhqsV6TgCJJqSQzmkgnwY" name="Blackacre LBB" alt="Blackacre LBB" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NBhqsV6TgCJJqSQzmkgnwY.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="5464" height="8192" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Blackacre)</span></figcaption></figure><p>The magic of this vibrant, caring and passionate company does not stop here with clients regularly noting that one of the most joyous components of their journey is seeing the design come to life. Whilst not typically expected, the Blackacre team regularly share photo or video updates of each piece being created directly from the workshop which adds to the deeper meaning and sentiment imbued within each piece.</p><p><u><strong>Sustainability:</strong></u></p><p>Perceived by many as the flag bearer in a new era of responsible luxury, Blackacre became <a href="https://www.blackacreldn.com/about-us/b-corp-certified">B Corp Certified</a> in 2024.</p><p>With an exceptionally high score of 99.3 it is one of only a handful of luxury jewellers to achieve this status worldwide, and the only “Top Tier” jeweller to achieve this within the UK. Such a feat is all the more impressive given that the brand only works with natural diamond and gemstones (staying true to its roots whilst more revenue hungry brands flee to meet the rise in demand for lab grown stones).</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:3711px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:149.99%;"><img id="kMUd9iPd7hcP2ULaAiiCrY" name="Blackacre LBB" alt="Blackacre LBB" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/kMUd9iPd7hcP2ULaAiiCrY.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="3711" height="5566" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Blackacre)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Most notable within the brand's ethos is their approach to expedition based sourcing.

The brand has displayed a staggering level of consistency, focussed entirely on delivering pieces that thrill each and every client, as evidenced by the plethora of glowing testimonials and reviews online. </p><p>What many connected with the brand comment on is their level of care. This might seem so simple but in an increasingly fast paced world where many are seeking efficiency, this brand is doubling down on making quality their priority. Such a focus has led to many of those within the industry frequently commenting on the quality of craftsmanship, which rivals some of the best in the world.</p><p>With the majority of clients starting their journey in the creation of a bespoke engagement ring many will go on to treat the brand as their jeweller for life.</p><p>For those seeking a personal piece of jewellery or <a href="https://www.blackacreldn.com/engagement-and-bridal/engagement/all-engagement-rings">custom made engagement ring</a> Blackacre is a name that you will undoubtedly wish to have on your list.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:5466px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:125.43%;"><img id="vXuSBEpJsoChcVBNB4dUUY" name="Blackacre LBB" alt="Blackacre LBB" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/vXuSBEpJsoChcVBNB4dUUY.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="5466" height="6856" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Blackacre)</span></figcaption></figure>

In 2019 Giles Quarme & Associates became Giles Quarme Architects and Natasha Brown officially joined Giles as a co-director in 2021 after originally joining the practice in 2001.</p><p>Together they run a small and brilliant team of architects who specialise in building conservation and traditional, timeless design, whilst maintaining a respect for important historic fabric and architectural significance. The practice believes in producing works of the highest quality and prioritising longevity; and as a result, has won numerous awards for residential, commercial, and public buildings over the years. Our team includes a SPAB Lethaby Scholar, an École de Chaillot Scholar and architects with a love and passion for design, space, and detailing with decades of experience.</p><p>GQA is a Conservation accredited practice and is on several important framework agreements including the National Trust and the GLA. However, most of our residential projects come from personal recommendation and are through “word of mouth”, including projects like Althorp, Chilham Castle, Glynde Place, Wiston House, Holland Park, and 100 Bayswater Road, J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan house.</p><figure class="van-image-figure " data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2560px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:75.00%;"><img id="ioDwQbQAN58fG7fhsXeuEA" name="Giles Quarme Architects LBB" alt="Giles Quarme Architects LBB" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ioDwQbQAN58fG7fhsXeuEA.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2560" height="1920" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=""><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Giles Quarme Architects)</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="gqa-s-approach">GQA’s Approach</h2><p>GQA works closely with clients, consultants, and contractors to provide completed projects with the highest quality finish.

Our mission is to create games that feel wonderful to play with, are visually appealing and at the same time, positively enhance and complement homes, offices and all manner of spaces.</p><p>From the beginning we've made big waves and a powerful impact; we’ve already worked with a host of well known brands and individuals, from artists to sports stars, media personalities to influencers, all to better serve our discerning global customers.</p><figure class="van-image-figure " data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' ><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="JuZMWs8Sb6E97mGHHSoC2n" name="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/JuZMWs8Sb6E97mGHHSoC2n.jpg" mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/JuZMWs8Sb6E97mGHHSoC2n.jpg" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="" height="" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div></figure><p>We launched with chess in a range of luxurious materials - Ebony, Boxwood, Maple & Alabaster, all hand carved and lacquered with Italian Nappa Leather base felts, featuring the Purling logo embossed in 18 carat gold.
