Robert Bicknell
Rob got his start in jewellery making early thanks to a five-year apprenticeship in diamond mounting, which he completed by the age of 20. He started working in Hatton Garden, the famous jewellery district of London, before moving on to the home of luxury jewellery, Bond Street. Here he learned the art of antique jewellery restoration, including working on high-profile pieces for the late Queen Mother.
After working in London for the best part of a decade, Rob was headhunted by one of Australia’s largest jewellery workshops and relocated to work on pieces such as the prestigious Australia Cup before returning to England.
Rob decided to open his own bespoke jewellery workshop in Hatton Garden, where he made pieces for London’s finest luxury jewellers and private clients. He opened his first store in Chislehurst in 2007 to focus on handmade jewellery, jewellery remodelling and restorations. In 2020, Rob relaunched his business as Robert Bicknell Fine Jewellery – a destination for bespoke jewellery in southeast London and for clients in Croydon, Bromley and Greenwich.
In 2012, Rob was chosen over more than 20 jewellers in Southeast London to create an installation for Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh to celebrate Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee. He was honoured to meet Her Majesty personally and receive her compliments about his skills in fine jewellery making.

In 2022, Tracy and Anastasia travelled to Germany to complete a gemmology course. They learnt about the scientific structure of gemstones, how to identify them, the common treatments used, and what makes each gem unique. Away from Robert Bicknell, Tracy is a food and travel lover. She enjoys walking her three dogs around the Kent countryside, one of whom she rescued from Bosnia.
