Our Heritage
“A jeweller who rushes is not a jeweller at all. The stone does not care about your deadline. It reveals its fire only to those who take the time to look.”
Founder, 1947
What began as a one-room workshop above a Mayfair tailor has become one of London's most respected jewellery houses. Through four generations, the Beaumont family has maintained a single principle: every piece must justify the time it takes to create it.
Foundation
Henri Beaumont opens a small atelier on Old Bond Street, specialising in engagement rings and family heirlooms.
The Invisible Setting
Henri's apprentice returns from Paris with the serti invisible technique, transforming the house's approach to gem setting.
Royal Commission
OBSIDIAN creates a tiara for a private European royal family, establishing the house as a destination for bespoke work.
Third Generation
Claire Beaumont assumes creative direction, introducing architectural forms and contemporary materials alongside traditional goldsmithing.
Ethical Sourcing
OBSIDIAN commits to exclusively Fairmined-certified gold and conflict-free gemstones across all collections.
Fourth Generation
Luca Beaumont joins the atelier, bridging heritage techniques with digital design tools and a new global clientele.
