Nick Butler and Simon Wilson started selling vintage jewellery in the London markets around 1968. In 1972 they opened a shop on the Fulham Road and began to copy mainly Art Deco jewellery – and the firm has never looked back! Butler and Wilson jewellery is worn by the rich and famous – and by the customer on QVC that wants something interesting to wear for a special occasion. The company is good at predicting future styles and is always developing new lines. The book “Rough Diamonds” by Vivienne Becker – Pavilion – is a good introduction to the jewellery over the first 30 years. Today the company is run by Simon Wilson and there is a shop in London – in the Fulham Road. The shop in South Molton Street has now closed. In 2010 the company celebrated its 40th anniversary! Butler and Wilson have been very successful in what they do – mainly, I think, because they understand their customers!
