OUR STORY
GERALDINE is a tribute to timeless elegance, born from an extraordinary love story woven into the fabric of mid-20th century glamour. The jewellery house is named in memory of Lady Geraldine Hanson, whose life with Lord James Hanson was a beautiful narrative of love, legacy, and style.
Lord Hanson, once romantically linked with Hollywood legends like Audrey Hepburn and Jean Simmons, eventually found his true match in Geraldine. Their paths crossed in 1957, when she worked as a buyer for the prestigious Lord & Taylor in New York City. A year later, they were married, and together they shared a 45-year-long marriage marked by love, elegance, and a shared appreciation for the finer things in life.
Lady Geraldine, known for her impeccable taste, amassed a remarkable collection of jewellery throughout their time together. Inspired by summers spent at the iconic Hotel du Cap, and their shared world of luxury and culture, her collection embodied the grace and charm of a bygone era.
GERALDINE draws from this rich history, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design to create pieces that are timeless yet deeply personal. Each creation is crafted by master artisans in our London atelier, ensuring that every piece tells its own story a reflection of inner elegance, individuality, and the eternal beauty of love.
Our jewellery is not just an accessory; it is an heirloom, a symbol of sophistication, and a celebration of the legacy of Lady Geraldine Hanson and her unforgettable journey through life.
