What people are saying…

  • "Sharlene knows a talisman like few others... Vintage jewellery with stories for days. The most special and unusual designers, and a knack for tracking down your heart’s desire for any and all moments. Or just because, she’s your gal. Forever the coolest, and most lovely. Treat yourself to some magic!"

    — LEANNE BEST (Actress)

  • "I’ve been buying my jewellery from Sharlene for almost twenty years now and she’s always the first person I speak to when I am looking for a new piece. Over the years she’s sourced the most incredible pieces for my friends, family and myself, with a wide range of budgets. I know she will have suggestions and ideas if I need inspiration, or that she will be able to find that specific item I’ve been obsessing about. Her relationships with a small number of talented independent jewellery designers means you can also have items made from scratch such as engagement rings or a special birthday gift for a dear friend. Get in touch, you won’t regret it!"

    — KERRY JEAN LISTER

  • "Sharlene has a gift for finding the most utterly magical pieces of jewellery, regardless of your occasion or budget. I worked with Sharlene recently to source a very special vintage necklace to commemorate an important moment in my life, and the piece she found was absolutely perfect. Not only does Sharlene have years of experience in the jewellery industry, but she truly loves the histories, stories, and people behind every beautiful piece."

    — SHILOH GULICKSON

  • “Sharlene is a wonderful being. Besides being beautiful and kind, she’s in possession of the cheekiest dimples around... Her passion for jewelry and knowing instinctively what should belong to someone is a rare gift.”

    — LENA HEADY (Actress)

  • "I have been buying Jewellery from Sharlene for years, but with her move to launching The Gilded Codex, it has been a revelation. I have been able to ask her for help in hunting out specific pieces and advising me on what is worth going for. She not only offers an amazing bespoke service but delivers as well. I can’t recommend her enough and this is the only place I go to for all things jewellery."

    — JOE MILLS (Woolf Kings X)

  • "Choosing an engagement ring had the potential to be nerve-racking business, but Sharlene was brilliant. She worked with me from the start, taking the time to understand what I needed and what would be the right design. She sourced a jeweller and offered excellent advice and suggestions to tailor-make something perfect for my partner. The result was a beautiful, unique and elegant ring, which my - now fiancé - loves."

    — SAM GROUT SMITH

  • "We can't thank you enough - our feet haven’t touched the ground yet! Very happy our paths have crossed, you rose to the challenge and surpassed our expectations. You’re incredible!"

    — MONTANA FORBES

  • "So as someone who is semi-cultured, and already 44 years of age, I was in a position of knowing I wanted to start wearing jewellery but with absolutely NO idea where to start. When I say absolutely no idea, I mean that whole heartedly. Sharlene has made the whole process an absolute pleasure. I’ve got some beautiful vintage items I’ve loved wearing at a price point I was fine with. Questions I knew were dumb but Google couldn’t answer - 'can I wear silver AND gold?!’ - Sharlene has answered and not made me feel the luddite I maybe am. And, having watched Sharlene’s Instagram with admiration over the last year it’s been great to get involved myself. Thanks - I’m lost without you."

    — ANDY BIRD

  • Many of my favourite pieces of jewellery have been sourced by Sharlene over the years. I don’t go a day without wearing something that is linked to her. We are all trying to get first dibs on what has caught her eye because quite frankly, it’s guaranteed to be unique and treasured for years to come.
