Boodles
July 27, 2004
Fancy cut diamond butterflies set on twists of platinum, hot pink tourmaline set on a platinum lattice ring or a magnificent necklace set with oval aquamarines and diamond set platinum stars… Boodles has it all.
Boodles (formerly Boodle & Dunthorne) was founded in the ‘Gateway to the New World’ in 1798. Liverpool, as it was at that time, was one of Europe’s wealthiest cities and leading ports, it boasted the first ever constructed dock.
The original Mr Boodle and Mr Dunthorne specialised in the creation, and export of objet d’art and art nouveau silver and jewellery, starting a tradition in the company that remains to this day the best of contemporary design, together with the finest traditional values.
Today Boodles remains a British family owned company, run by brothers Nicholas and Michael Wainwright. Now Boodles shops are in London’s fashionable Sloane St, Regent St which is part of The Queen’s Crown Estate, within Harrods, and in the Courtyard of the Royal Exchange. In the Northwest Boodles is still the pre-eminent jeweller in Manchester, Chester, together with its famous head office building in Liverpool.
