Founded in 2003 by Jewellery Designer Wendy Pickard, The Branch’s reputation for timeless style, bold designs and originality has progressively been growing.The business started fairly small with basic but beautiful designs for wooden bangles, cuffs, rings, earrings, pendants and necklaces.It wasn’t long before the use of high quality silver found a way in to the designs which were becoming steadily more individual and sought-after.With the introduction of gold, diamonds and semi-precious stones, Wendy Pickard’s designs have evolved into the range of unique hand-crafted jewellery our customers have loved and keep coming back for.We are happy to say that we currently have stock in over 100 high-end Boutiques across the UK as well as in 15 countries Worldwide.
All of our jewellery here at The Branch is produced in Indonesia using traditional methods and by local craftsmen.Each piece has been predominantly hand-crafted using materials such as Rosewood, Gold, Silver, semi-precious stones and diamonds, carefully selected not only for quality but also with an eye to sustainability and the welfare of the environment it has come from.We are careful not to use any form of chemicals on the wood we choose - no varnish, polish or colour stain – we like our wood completely natural – with nothing but beeswax to condition it.Due to the very unique nature of the grain in the wood, each individual piece has the feel of a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery – no two pieces are ever the same!
Our pieces can often be found in the fashion pages of some of the most prominent fashion publications in the UK and global markets, including Vogue and Elle as well as Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire, Sunday Times Magazine, Red Magazine, In Style, Grazia and You Magazine.We are also happy to have a small celebrity following with women such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyonce, Anna Matronic (Scissor Sisters), Mary-Kate Olsen, Kelly Roland and Claudia Schiffer all owning jewellery from The Branch.
We hope you enjoy looking through our ever-evolving and lovingly produced range.
