[H1] House of Hancocks

Sackville Gallery
Bruton Gallery
Burlington Gallery

[H3] House of Hancocks

The original home of Hancocks in 1849 was a building on the corner of Bond Street and Bruton
Street, we were known as House of Hancocks. 175 years later we are lucky to have one of the most
beautiful Georgian townhouses in London to call home.

We have designed the layout to include three very distinct Gallery spaces to display our
jewellery curation. The Gallery floors are named after one of our previous homes and each is
very unique in character but also with a common essence of our heritage in mind. The space
invites you to come explore, learn, try on and maybe even take home some of our collection in a
welcoming and relaxed environment.

[H3] Sackville Gallery

As you arrive at Hancocks you will enter the Sackville Gallery on the ground floor, which has
been designed to showcase the variety of jewellery Hancocks has to offer. The unmissable tiara
cabinet is a center point of the room as well as a place to see some of the extensive library of
books on jewellery, makers and eras and some notable historical pieces made by Hancocks and are
now part of their permanent Heritage collection.

[H3] Bruton Gallery

The Bruton Gallery on our first floor is the home to our carefully curated collection of
vintage, antique, and signed pieces from the world’s best jewellery houses. From timeless
heirlooms to rare finds, each jewel tells a story of history, heritage, craftsmanship and
artistry, treasures that span well over a century of jewellery design.

[H3] Burlington Gallery

On the second floor is the Burlington Gallery, where you can find Hancocks London’s extensive
and meticulously curated old cut diamond collection which is regarded as one of the most
significant in the world. All the jewellery here is part of the Hancocks own collection,
designed in house and handcrafted here in London. It is the ideal setting to enjoy these
one-of-a-kind jewels in a luxurious and private setting and engage with Hancocks’ knowledgeable
experts at your leisure.
