Founded in 2021, Parkin & Gerrish is a company that specializes in antique, vintage, and fine jewellery including engagement rings.

This husband and wife duo personally selects each piece of jewellery, ensuring its unique historical and aesthetic appeal.
The company's offerings include over 500 pieces of antique and vintage jewellery available online. The selection spans a variety of eras, including Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco periods, including a special selection of vintage jewellery. The company also offers tie pins, which have been fashionable for two hundred years, particularly during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
