Attwood and Sawyer, established in 1956 by Mr. Horace Attwood and Mr. Sawyer in Porthcawl, Wales, became a hallmark of excellence in high-end imitation jewellery.  Their specialty was in reproducing the luxurious styles of the 18th and 19th centuries, but it was their collection inspired by the Duchess of Windsor's jewellery that truly set them apart.  The Duchess, known for her impeccable taste and extensive jewellery collection, provided a rich source of inspiration for Attwood and Sawyer.  They meticulously crafted pieces that mirrored the elegance and sophistication of her collection, capturing the essence of her iconic style with remarkable precision.  This collection not only showcased their craftsmanship, but also their deep appreciation for historical jewellery, making it one of their most collectible series.

This connection to the Duchess of Windsor wasn't just about replication, it was an homage to an era of jewellery that symbolised wealth, power, and cultural influence.  By drawing from her collection, Attwood and Sawyer brought a piece of royal history into the homes of the public, allowing admirers of fashion and history alike to own a part of this legacy, albeit in costume form.  Their jewellery also found fame beyond the pages of history books, adorning characters in popular TV series like 'Dynasty' and 'Dallas', and featured in events like the Miss World beauty contest, showcasing their versatility and appeal.

Their designs were bold, timeless, and often adorned with luxurious materials like 22ct gold plating, enamel, and Swarovski crystals, the quality of which has stood the test of time.  The company's reach extended through prestigious retail outlets around the world, including on cruise ships and airliners, making their jewellery accessible to a global audience.  In 2001, Attwood and Sawyer was acquired by Buckley Jewellery Ltd, but the legacy of their work, particularly their link to the Duchess of Windsor, continues to resonate.  Today, vintage pieces from this collection are highly collectible, appreciated for their historical significance, exquisite craftsmanship, and the unique connection they offer to one of the 20th century's most stylish figures.
