Pragnell

Pragnell is a sixth-generation, family-run British jeweller with a rich and royal heritage. The business was founded by George Pragnell, who started his career at Queen Mary's private jeweller, Biggs of Maidenhead, and later founded the Pragnell business in Stratford-upon-Avon. Today, Pragnell remains under the direction of Charlie Pragnell and his cousins Tom Crookenden and Hugo Blott. The company offers fine jewellery, engagement rings, vintage jewellery, and luxury watches, and is an exclusive UK partner for several high-horology brands.

Pragnell is a sixth-generation, family-run British jeweller with a rich and royal heritage. Our legacy of craftmanship is long standing and spans over 170 years. Through inter-generational family connections, marriage, and business success our jewellery heritage stretches back to the early 19th century. Our founder, George Pragnell, started his career at Queen Mary's private jeweller, Biggs of Maidenhead, where he looked after Queen Mary. Following this he founded the Pragnell business in Stratford-upon-Avon. George's son Jeremy married Jane Blott, of esteemed jewellery manufacturers Waters & Blott (founded in 1850) and together they successfully carried on the family business. Waters & Blott, located on London's Bond St, crafted jewellery for Philip Antrobus (founded 1815), the designer of the Queen's engagement ring. It was a natural step for Pragnell to acquire the Philip Antrobus jewellery house and its archives, many of which continue to serve as inspiration for our contemporary creations. Today, Pragnell remains under the direction of Charlie Pragnell and his cousins Tom Crookenden and Hugo Blott. Unified by a shared appreciation for craft, we maintain strong relationships with leading Swiss watchhouses, having been among the first to bring Patek Philippe and Rolex to the UK over 70 years ago. We proudly serve as exclusive UK partners for renowned high-horology brands, including Bernard Lederer, Laurent Ferrier, Ludovic Ballouard, Greubel Forsey, and Ferdinand Berthoud.
