Modern mythology
Magical fine jewellery handcrafted in London
Discover the power of pearls
Pearls were believed to be tears of joy shed by the Ancient Greek goddess of love, and in the Aphrodite and Abacus collections their glorious lustre brings a beautiful glow to both the skin and the soul.
A precious gift
Jewellery is more than decoration. A token of love or a symbol of strength, an engagement ring or a statement necklace, it represents culture, art, a talisman, an heirloom.
Alexandra Cordon makes bespoke and made-to-order fine jewellery to covet and collect, inspired by humanity’s primal connections with the planet, with nature, and with each other.
Crafted by hand, using centuries- and millennia-old techniques, Alexandra Cordon jewellery is made with ethically sourced gold, silver, pearls and gemstones.
Made in London for you
The stones and pearls in Alexandra Cordon jewellery are carefully selected from ethical suppliers I know and trust, or reclaimed from vintage and antique pieces.
Each piece is handmade in London’s Hatton Garden district, using traditional and modern techniques.
I prefer a slow, careful, crafted approach. Many of my pieces are one-of-a-kind or made to order. And I love to work on bespoke commissions, from remodelled family jewellery to engagement rings, wedding rings and bridal sets.
One of a kind

Bespoke
Two extraordinary baroque freshwater pearls drop from a delicate open collar of hammered gold. A delight to wear, the springy gold feels light as air on the neck, flattering the décolletage and lengthening the throat with its open construction.
The Aphrodite collection is inspired by Ancient Greek myth – when the Ancient Greek goddess of love wept with joy, she cried pearls instead of tears, and this design reflects a notion of the pearl drops hanging from fine gold lashes.
When you order, I’ll get in touch to work with you on tailoring the length for you. If you have a specific colour or type of pearl in mind, or would prefer 18ct gold or platinum, do get in touch – I would love to help you make your dream necklace.
Custom made to order. Please allow 4-6 weeks from payment.
Pearls are an organic material and baroque styles naturally have variations in shape and hue, but the pearls used will be of equal quality and beauty and size as those shown. I hand-select every pearl from suppliers I know and trust. All my precious metals are 100% recycled.
