Villiers Påske launches in UK

Villiers Påske, a new London-based fine jewellery business founded by specialist Henry Wikeley, has launched with a focus on antique sourcing and heirloom redesign.

Founded by jewellery specialist Henry Wikeley, the business focuses on sourcing antique and vintage pieces, creating bespoke engagement rings and redesigning inherited jewellery. Clients can access its collection online, through private appointments or at Portobello Road Market.

The company said its offering is aimed at consumers seeking alternatives to newly manufactured jewellery, with an emphasis on restoring historic pieces and repurposing family heirlooms.

Alongside its curated collection, Villiers Påske offers bespoke engagement ring sourcing and design, enabling clients to commission new pieces or incorporate existing gemstones and inherited jewellery into new designs. The business has also joined the National Association of Jewellers (NAJ), which Wikeley said reflects its commitment to professional standards and transparency within the industry.

Established as a limited company earlier this year, Villiers Påske specialises in jewellery dating from the early 18th Century through to late 20th Century vintage designs, with a focus on personalised client service through both online and in-person consultations.

Wikeley said: “Villiers Påske is founded on a genuine love and admiration for jewellery and the stories it can carry. The most interesting pieces are often those that have lived a life before reaching their new owner. Whether it’s an antique engagement ring, a rare vintage find or a family heirloom redesigned for a new generation, we’re passionate about helping people find jewellery that feels truly personal.

“Joining the NAJ reflects our commitment to professionalism, transparency and continual contribution to the industry. We’re proud to be part of an organisation that supports excellence throughout the jewellery trade and helps build confidence for consumers.”
