Trying to trace jewels bought from Barry Wieland
by: Anne Fisher

I’m now in my nineties and like to sit and remember fun things in my life! In the 70s and 80s my husband and I used to know Barry and calling at Collingwood was part of our day in London and I bought or had bought for me quite a lot of things and I would love to know if there are any records or even better any photographs of our purchases? I still have two huge beautiful brooches but a spectacular pr of huge yellow and white earrings have sadly gone to pay death duties ( but I know who has them!) Barry searched and found old Siberian almost black amethysts to match a family necklace and he had the stones recut for earrings and a bracelet, lots of alterations, additions and new purchases were made and I would so love to see any records and photographs you may still have. Thanking you in anticipation.

Marks associated with Collinhwood
by: Richard H

My father was friendly with a director of Collingwood, and, I believe, in 1961, commissioned a particular object from them. However the item carries a maker’s mark "CM&S". I have seen a necklace sold at auction which was purchased from Collingwood of Conduit Street, and which carried a similar mark. I would appreciate knowing whether any other items supplied by Collingwood carry such a mark, and any further information about its identity.

Engagement Ring
by: Lyon

Hello,

I have my grandmother's engagement ring which I am hoping to get more information on. Unfortunately, there is no one in my family still living to provide this information. The ring is in an old looking box. Inside the box it reads "Collingwood to the Royal Family. 46 Conduit St. W." My grandfather was a British man and am told he used the ring to propose to my grandmother. I'm trying to figure out if he purchased it or if it was passed down from his family. I am also wondering if the wording "to the Royal Family" means anything or was this a hallmark slogan for the Jewellery store? Also, does anyone know when the Jewellery store closed? I have lots of pictures of the ring. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This was a business in my family
by: Judith Finn(nee Morrell)

I was most interested to read this as Richard Morrell, the Chairman of Collingwoods of Conduit Street in London was my father's brother and as a result we have several fine pieces from the shop within the family. His daughter worked in the shop so maybe the security guard remembers us. I have always understood it was originally started by a cousin of our paternal grandfather.

As a teenage student in London my Uncle used to put really valuable necklaces round my neck and ask me to guess the value! I have a silver teaspoon he gave to me on my very first visit to his office aged 5 in 1951 and other gifts from him and my parents marking 21st birthday.

It was indeed a top place and used privately by many members of the British Royal Family.

Collingwood memories
by: Jan C

Hi,
Much of a side track but 40+ years ago as a student I worked part-time as a security guard at Collingwoods, 46 Conduit Street, W1. It was a very smart establishment showing royal patronage crests.

I was on duty when Liz Taylor & Richard Burton visited one time. Princess Margaret another time.

Any item showing Collingwood of CS would be recommended. Howevever - a warning, -about the same time there was another 'Collingwods' doing a somewhat down market trade in the same sector. Hence the Conduit Street company went out of its way to distinguish itself from the other by including the address in its trading name.
The MD at the time was Frank Morrell. He had an office behind the shop. When on night shift I used to sleep on a Lilo under his desk.

Photo Requested |Circle Hallmarks
by: Yvonne

Hi - thank you for your hallmark question.
The ring is not silver but gold. The 750 mark is the decimal equivalent to 18k gold. The metal, being white in color, means it will be 18k white gold. Although we do not have the benefit of a photo, we know this, because in your hallmark question you mentioned that you thought the ring might be made of silver.

You also mentioned the ring is in a box marked, "Collingwood of Conduit Street", is it the original box?

We need to see a photo of these jewelry marks before we can proceed any further. You are very welcome to upload a photo in a follow-up submission. Try to get a good, close-up shot if possible.

Thanks for writing to us...
