About Us
Hello, we're Lee and Bella, the husband-and-wife team behind Ellibelle Jewellery.
Our story began long before Ellibelle existed. Lee spent over a decade working in the antiques trade, starting as a porter at a local auction house before becoming an auctioneer, valuer and eventually specialising in jewellery. Day after day, he handled thousands of pieces, developing an eye for quality, craftsmanship and the small details that reveal a piece's history.
In 2020, Lee completed the prestigious FGA Gemmology Diploma with Gem-A London, allowing him to combine years of practical experience with formal gemmological training. Around the same time, we began selling a small collection of vintage rings online. What started with just five rings quickly grew into something much bigger.
Today, Ellibelle specialises in carefully selected vintage and antique engagement rings and fine jewellery. Every piece is chosen by us personally and every gemstone is professionally tested and verified before it reaches our website. We don't buy in bulk or follow trends. Instead, we focus on finding exceptional one-of-a-kind pieces that deserve a second life and a new story.
One of the things we love most about antique jewellery is that no two pieces are ever quite the same. Whether it's an Edwardian sapphire cluster ring, an Art Deco diamond engagement ring or a Victorian treasure, each piece has survived generations and carries its own unique character and history.
As a small family business, we believe buying jewellery should feel personal. When you contact us, you'll speak directly to us and our small team. We are always happy to answer questions, provide additional photographs, discuss gemstone details or help you find the perfect piece.
We know that purchasing jewellery online can feel daunting, particularly when every piece is unique. That's why we aim to be as transparent as possible. Detailed descriptions, honest condition reports, professional gemstone verification and hundreds of five-star reviews are all part of our commitment to helping customers buy with confidence.
Since launching Ellibelle, we have helped customers across the UK, United States, Australia and beyond find their perfect piece of jewellery. We have now sold more than 1,000 rings worldwide and are proud to have earned over 500 five-star reviews across Google, Trustpilot and Etsy. For us, there is no greater compliment than a customer returning for a second purchase or recommending us to family and friends.
