W Lewis is a brand of the British jewellery house, whose history goes back more than a century and a half.
Founded in 1832 as a family business under the name W.O. Lewis, the company began with the production of medals and commemorative badges, and then expanded its range to jewellery.
Important stages in the development of W Lewis:
During the First and Second World Wars, the company specialized in the production of patriotic badges.
For various organizations and associations, badges were made dedicated to significant historical moments and anniversaries.
Precious metals such as gold and silver, as well as enamel, were always used in production.
Antique W Lewis jewellery is valued as rare and of interest to collectors.
The company is located at Howard Street, West Midlands, Birmingham. As of 2021, the family business continues its activities and is now run by the fifth generation of jewellers and silversmiths.
