NOTE: * Ben Rosenfeld was a British jeweller who started production in 1959 and gained an international audience for his fine, bold jewellery designs for the following decades, until 1987. Rosenfeld was one of the few Hatton Garden jewellers to achieve a worldwide reputation and one of his pieces can be found today in the Victoria & Albert Museum.
