Hannah Martin

Hannah’s background boasts work for brands such as Cartier, Givenchy and Tag Heuer, amongst others, indicating clearly where her taste for luxury developed.

“I was spending my days designing these incredible pieces of fine jewellery for women, and my nights hanging out with friends in Paris watching beautiful boys play rock n’roll in grimy bars. It suddenly seemed clear to me that I should combine the two parts of my life.”

At the forefront of cutting edge style, Hannah went on to create what became the first ever luxury jewellery house dedicated to men … giving them something that has always been so hard to find – decadent, beautifully crafted, sophisticated jewellery, that does not compromise masculinity but luxuriates in it, celebrating it with strong lines, edgy opulence and a villainous elegance. Her collections are described as ‘jewellery for men, that girlfriend’s will steal’.

Both the British and international fashion press have been hailing Hannah as one of the UK’s hottest new designers. Hannah-Martin-1
