Our Story

Since our first platinum collection in 1987 our desire has been to create unique, precious jewels which are a delight to own and wear.

Our understated sensibility was ahead of its time then and has remained the cornerstone of the Cox & Power style ever since.

Cox & Power Timeline

1987
In the beginning...

The Platinum & Gold Collection is launched by Vicci Cox and Tony Power.

Vicci recognised Tony’s talent whilst working at the Platinum Guild and the pair teamed up to create the UK’s first contemporary platinum jewellery showcase.

Tony’s work has been exhibited internationally and he has won a number of design awards including the Diamonds International Award. Both are Freemen of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths.

 

1994
Cox & Power opens its doors

Rachel Sweeney joins Vicci and Tony to launch the first Cox & Power gallery and workshop in London’s Brompton Cross, spotlighting Tony’s modern designs and carving out a niche for designer jewellery in the UK. The space was designed to share the magic of jewellery making with the workshop taking centre stage.

Tony Power’s entire career has demonstrated his love of the history, beauty and emotional significance of his craft. Although a designer and creator of modern jewellery, his work is in the true tradition of the Master Goldsmith.
