Humble beginnings
The Chalfen name first appeared in the jewellery world when patriarch Simon, began the family journey as a proud watch maker who worked from a jewellery shop in London.
1914: Simon Chalfen
A True Family Business
After the untimely passing of his father in 1934, son Harry was busy earning a name for himself buying and selling second-hand jewellery in soon to be wartime Britain.
1934: Harry Chalfen
Diamonds with "Life"
Harry convinced his diamond cutter brother-in-law, Alec, to join forces and form jewellery design house H. Chalfen Ltd with a goal of manufacturing diamond jewellery for the trade.
1958: H Chalfen Ltd
A Diamond in the Rough
Harry’s son, Brian, was propelled into the business when Harry died unexpectedly in 1965. Brian spent the next 50 years aligning his family name as one of the best diamond jewellery manufacturers in the country.

The Future of Bespoke British Jewellery
As retailers began overseas manufacturing, the Chalfen brand knew it had to move with the times to maximise its expertise, so turned directly to customers – after all they’d been making jewellery for them for decades, they just didn’t realise it. Today, Chalfen of London is a bespoke jeweller making custom jewellery to the exceptional standard of its legacy and reputation.
