Every piece here is sold new by Goldsmiths, a UK authorised retailer, at Goldsmiths' own price on the date shown.

How we chose

We went through the designer jewellery Goldsmiths has in stock, nearly 1,900 pieces from 20 brands, and compared what each brand sells, what it typically costs, and what it's known for. What each brand is known for comes from the brands' own descriptions at Goldsmiths. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes the price you pay.

Mappin & Webb

Mappin & Webb's jewellery reflects a legacy of British craftsmanship, and its Ena Harkness collection is overseen by its Master Craftsman and Crown Jeweller, Mark Appleby LVO, according to Goldsmiths. Its Gossamer collection includes these baguette diamond huggies in 18ct yellow gold, H colour and SI clarity.

Good to know before you buy

• Single earrings: some designer earrings at Goldsmiths, from Chopard, Fred, Repossi and Maria Tash, are sold as one earring, not a pair. The name says "single" or "Earring".
• Parts sold separately: Fred's Force 10 buckles are sold without the cable, and some Annoushka and AMOR pendants without a chain. The description says so; every piece in this guide is complete.
• Goldsmiths' extended Christmas returns, which we read in October 2026, cover items bought between 1 October 2026 and 3 January 2027, if unused and in their original packaging, with proof of purchase. Always check Goldsmiths' own page before you order.
