Laura Ashley Jewellery Guide
Laura Ashley represents the enduring charm of British femininity — romantic, nostalgic, and quietly confident. Known for floral prints and timeless silhouettes since 1953, the jewellery line continues this heritage through delicate, nature-inspired designs that celebrate craftsmanship and grace.
Created in partnership with Gecko Jewellery (a UK-based wholesale company and accredited member of the Responsible Jewellery Council), Laura Ashley Jewellery translates over 70 years of iconic textile prints into wearable form. At OD’s Jewellers, we are proud to be an authorised stockist.

What Makes Laura Ashley Different
Archive Print Heritage
Every collection begins with Laura Ashley’s textile archive — hundreds of thousands of patterns spanning 70+ years, translated from fabric into three-dimensional jewellery.
RJC-Certified Production
Produced by Gecko Jewellery, an RJC-accredited company ensuring ethical sourcing, conflict-free materials, and environmentally responsible practices.
Recycled Sterling Silver
Many pieces crafted from 100% recycled sterling silver — metallurgically identical to mined silver but with reduced environmental impact.
AnchorCert Protect
UKAS-accredited hypoallergenic testing against all known metal allergens — not just a self-declared “nickel-free” claim.
2 | The Laura Ashley Story
Laura Mountney was born on 7 September 1925 at 31 Station Terrace, Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. In 1953, inspired by a craft exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, she began screen-printing tea towels and headscarves with just £10 invested in wood, fabric, and dyes at her kitchen table in Pimlico, London.

4 | Laura Ashley in Culture
Since founding in 1953, Laura Ashley became a touchstone for British country style. The brand’s influence peaked during the 1980s when Laura Ashley dresses were beloved across generations, from Princess Diana to modern stylists who revive vintage looks.
A Symbol of British Design
Laura Ashley remains a symbol of graceful femininity in British design culture — timeless rather than trendy, featured in nostalgic retrospectives by Vogue, the BBC, and the V&A Museum.
