Four Years of Sorrell Jewels

Written By Emily Sorrell

This week, Sorrell Jewels turns four and what a journey it’s been.

Me at a recent market stall, surrounded by trays of handpicked vintage rings and treasures — a familiar setup that’s come to feel like home.

Four years ago, Sorrell Jewels began with a handful of vintage rings and a big dream: to do things differently. Slower, more thoughtfully, with meaning woven into every piece. I had no idea where this path would take mem but thanks to your support, it’s grown into something more special than I ever could’ve imagined.

From early morning auctions and themed ring boxes to market stalls, gallery launches and some very surreal pinch-me moments, each step has been shaped by the people who’ve joined along the way, whether you’ve shopped, shared, or simply followed along.

 
The original 2020 ‘Celestial’ ring box drop — a bold idea at the time, and the start of what would become a much-loved monthly tradition.

The Magic We’ve Made Together

And together, we've made magic happen:

📦 Over 7,500 treasures rehomed
🌍 Shipped to 19 countries
💫 Launched 30 themed monthly boxes
🛍️ Set up at 48 markets and pop-ups
🇬🇧 With 95% of pieces sourced right here in the UK

This brand has always been about more than jewellery. It’s about storytelling, memory-keeping, and finding beauty in the past. Whether it’s the ring that marks a milestone, the charm that feels like a secret message, or the tiny gift you bought for yourself just because, these moments mean everything to me.

 
A very surreal moment: Sorrell Jewels on display at the Tate Britain gift shop. Still pinching myself that this happened.

Pinch-Me Moments

There have been so many pinch-me moments along the way. From launching the very first celestial-themed ring box, to setting up at my first ever market with Salad Days back in 2021. I’ve popped up inside Selfridges, and this summer, I’m beyond proud to be stocked in the The Courtauld Gallery.

Those are the moments that make the long auction mornings, ring cleaning marathons and endless admin feel totally worth it.

Posing with an amazing group of creatives at Selfridges, where I took part in a Christmas pop-up — one of those full-circle moments I’ll never forget.

Thank you

To everyone who’s ever shopped, liked, commented, shared a post, or come to a market, thank you. You’ve helped me build something joyful, meaningful and sustainable.

Your support has allowed me to work slowly, grow gently, and build a business that fits around life with chronic illness and still makes space for beautiful things.

Here’s to the first four years of sparkle and the next chapter of charm drops, ring stacks, markets, and memories.

With love, always,

Something Special…

To mark this milestone properly, I’ve got a little something landing in inboxes this Sunday at 9am 👀

(It may or may not involve a cheeky discount 👼)
