About Us
Who is Midwest To Mayfair?
Midwest to Mayfair was founded by Katie, an American expat and long time London resident with over 20 years of experience in the Fashion Industry (including jewellery and accessories). Katie is originally from the Midwest of the United States, her career has taken her from New York to London and Europe, this is where she fell in love with combing the second hand markets and digging through treasures to find the perfect piece.
Midwest To Mayfair works with some of the most experienced jewellers in London to ensure that our collection is always in tip-top condition and so that we can offer re-sizing, stone-setting and bespoke alterations.
Where is Midwest To Mayfair based?
Midwest To Mayfair is based in London. For the moment we are only an online business however, we occasionally do pop-ups and special in-person sales, so please follow us on Instagram or join our mailing list here to stay in the loop. We do work with private clients in 1-to-1 sessions to create bespoke pieces. Please contact us here if you would like to know more.
About Midwest To Mayfair + Our Products
We source our jewellery from dealers in Great Britain and Europe. The collection is curated to bring you one-of-a-kind gorgeous, wearable pieces with incredible craftsmanship and unique histories. All of our jewellery is considered ‘fine jewellery’, made from gold (the carat – karat in American English - of the gold will be clearly stated in each product description), platinum and occasionally silver (this was very commonly used in Victorian and pre-Victorian times to set diamonds). All stones will be natural stones, we do not sell synthetic stones. Ever.
Our aim is to give these gorgeous antique pieces new life AND preserve their amazing craftsmanship. We don’t sell items that we feel are so delicate from age that they can’t be worn in a practical way. All of our antique pieces are meant to be very special but to also become part of your everyday collection.
