Stories Archive
The Boodles Archive offers a glimpse into a series of exclusive high jewellery collections, each defined by one-of-a-kind designs and exceptional gemstones. Drawing inspiration from places, people and journeys, these collections reflect moments in time translated through craftsmanship and creativity.
A Family Journey, Africa
This collection celebrates a milestone in our history: a family journey that opened up a new world. In 1962, Anthony Wainwright went on a remarkable adventure — meeting dealers in fine diamonds and gemstones, on a tour lasting just 16 days. The friendships he made transformed Boodles. It enabled us to offer jewels of a quality hard to find anywhere else. Six decades on, our Chairman, Nicholas Wainwright has honoured his father’s initiative with a journey of his own.

Wonderland
Wonderland represents the height of Boodles’ creative expression, an intricate high jewellery collection unveiled only every few years. It brings together exceptional gemstones and ambitious design, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in fine jewellery through innovation, craftsmanship and bold artistic vision.
Peace Of Mined
Coinciding with The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, this collection represents a true privilege. We were delighted to have been partners of the Jubilee Pageant, celebrating a sparkling reign. So bring out the bunting and bubbles. Enjoy these treasures from the Cullinan Mine, in settings we hope are fit for The Queen.
Secret Garden
The Secret Garden archive collection was inspired by, and created in partnership with, Marc Munden’s 2020 film adaptation of one of Britain’s most beloved stories, The Secret Garden. Drawing on Mary Lennox’s journey and her discovery of a hidden garden, the 40 piece collection captured the wonder, beauty and mystery at the heart of the tale.
The Poetry of Landscape
In 2017 we began gathering these tales, under the title ‘The Poetry of Landscape’. It’s a theme we’re excited about, drawing on nature firsthand and from artists who loved the landscape too — such as William Blake, Joseph Turner and Paul Nash. It’s our pleasure to introduce these delightful jewels to the collection. We hope you enjoy exploring each stanza.
Pas de Deux
In celebration of the partnership between Boodles and The Royal Ballet, Boodles created “Pas de Deux: Inspired by The Royal Ballet” in 2015; a dynamic collection of jewellery that translated the very essence of dance into intricate diamond and platinum designs.
Greenfire
After almost a year in the making we were delighted to share the world of Boodles with viewers across the UK and Ireland, as our documentary The Million Pound Necklace: Inside Boodles aired on Channel 4. It was with anticipation that we remained glued to our screens as a subject that seems so familiar to us became that of fascination to others. The documentary followed the creation of our Emerald 'Greenfire' necklace, from loose stones, to design, creation and launch; shadowing our Directors and Boodles staff each step of the way.
