London Jeweler Robinson Pelham Toasts 30 Years With a Residency at Trove

By Amy Elliott | September 23, 2026

British jeweler Robinson Pelham has spent 2026 crisscrossing key American markets in celebration of its 30th anniversary with trunk shows and personal appearances at retail doors in Palm Beach, Houston, Dallas, and Nantucket. Now, the London-based, female-founded brand is capping off its stateside celebration tour at Trove, the boutique in NYC’s West Village known for its luxury jewelry cases and rotating lineup of in-demand fine jewelry designers.

Robinson Pelham creative director Vanessa Chilton and her team timed the residency to coincide with New York’s Fashion Week. “We wanted to create buzz during our appearance,” she says. “We hosted two cocktail soirées: one to celebrate with press and clients, and another in collaboration with the [fashion publication] Daily Front Row, which brought in models, influencers, fashion lovers, and actors alike for a super-fun evening.”

Between these festive events and Trove’s intimate, beautifully styled setting, Robinson Pelham finds an ideal stage for sharing its technicolor, diamond-flecked stories with the city’s fashionable downtown crowd.

Trove managing director Vanessa Paz framed the Robinson Pelham residency as a natural fit for the boutique. “We celebrate fine jewelry that tells a personal story at Trove,” Paz says. “Robison Pelham’s ability to blend heritage with modern design makes this a truly special moment for our store and our clients.”

For Robinson Pelham, that heritage traces back to 30 years of friendship at the heart of the brand. It began when three friends established a private jewelry atelier in a carriage house in London’s Pimlico district. Graduates of Central Saint Martins, the city’s prestigious art and design school, Chilton, Kate Pelham Burn, and Zoe Benyon brought their complementary sensibilities to bespoke creations for an elite group of collectors.

Later, the friends expanded their business to offer a playful, colorful mix of ready-to-wear fine jewelry styles that spanned rainbow hoops, candylike rings made of vibrant enamel and lozenge-shape gemstones, layerable necklaces, and more. The range quickly caught on with Londoners, and over the last 10 years or so, the brand has steadily cultivated a following in the United States. Today, Robinson Pelham has secured an ongoing presence in prominent stateside boutiques such as Ylang Ylang in St. Louis and Marissa Collections in Naples, Fla.

Unlike the brand’s earlier trunk show stops this year, the Trove residency marks a distinct chapter in the anniversary story: The collection is shoppable in the boutique for a full month (through Sept. 30), giving an American audience a rare, extended window into what 30 years of women-led design history looks like.

Gorgeous new collections—several of which were hot off the bench just prior to the event—caught the eyes of the partygoers. And plenty of casual West Village shoppers have been breezing into the jewel-box space to try on diamond necklaces or three-in-one huggies dangling tiny charms.

Tried-and-true icons of the brand such as the cult-favorite Identity Necklace and Tsar Star convertible stud and drop earrings (as seen on the Princess of Wales) have also garnered attention during the residency.

Meanwhile, a special showcase offers a glimpse of Robinson Pelham’s early work from the 1990s, from an enormous Maltese cross pendant to a cocktail ring sculpted in gold and mounted with a slab of green chrome diopside.

“These archival pieces were generously borrowed back from clients for the occasion,” Chilton says. “The installation was a wonderful opportunity for guests to experience the brand’s three-decade history.”

That mix—vintage one-of-a-kinds alongside newly finished collections and evolutions of bestsellers—give the Trove residency a dual purpose: a retrospective for longtime devotees and a lively introduction to the brand for newer American clients.

“This type of exposure in the U.S. market is incredibly valuable to us,” Chilton says. “It means a great deal to us to invest in these relationships with our stockists through personal appearances—we have seen a fantastic response.”

The anniversary tour will soon culminate with a final celebration in London, but Robinson Pelham is already looking ahead to what comes next in terms of its U.S. retail strategy in 2027.

“Our collections have evolved and we are working on new styles, silhouettes, and colors that we hope Americans will love,” says Chilton. “Next year, we will visit our top retailers for exclusive trunk shows and host special events in as many markets as possible. We can’t wait to show them bold, colorful collections we’ve got planned.”
