40th Anniversary of Alex Monroe
2026 marks a very special anniversary for Alex Monroe, we can’t believe it, but it’s been forty years!
Alex left university in 1986 wanting to take on the world, using an old typewriter to tap out his first (and only) business plan, which he still has! And although the paper may be yellowed around the edges, Alex’s aims are still the same, to design, make and sell beautiful jewellery.
Over the years we have sold to shops all over the world, opened two of our own, had pieces on the cover of magazines and spotted famous actors and even royalty wearing pieces at glamorous parties and events. We have won awards, launched a range of homeware, and even built two buildings to house our growing business. Alex has hosted his own podcast, made jewellery for films and TV and worked on countless collaborations.
The years fall by like leaves from a tree, and now I look up and see forty years have passed!
Even after forty years, Alex is still designing for the next season with as much excitement as ever, so we see our future filled with fabulous jewellery. But for now, this is our moment to celebrate, and thank everyone who has been part of this wonderful journey!
