Heming

Heming is an internationally renowned jewellery company with a distinguished history dating back to 1745, when Thomas Heming first entered his mark at Goldsmith's Hall. Today the company occupies premises at 10 Piccadilly Arcade, still very much at the heart of London's West End and only a short stroll from the original Thomas Heming shop. The Heming flagship retail store can be found in the midst of London's diamond quarter at 109 Hatton Garden. Consistent with its history, the company only employs the finest craftsmen and uses exceptional materials to create and finish a range of beautifully sought-after luxury jewellery. The founder, Thomas Heming, was made a freeman of the Goldsmith's Company in 1746, and went on to become the pre-eminent British jeweller of his generation. Shaped by a valuable apprenticeship to the Huguenot goldsmith Peter Archambo, beginning in 1738, Heming's talent rose to prominence in 1760 with his appointment as Principal Goldsmith to the King (George a position he held until 1782 the year before he retired.
