IF 2020 has been good to you or you’re one of the few artists that have benefitted from the unprecedented streaming numbers this year  due to everyone being stuck  indoors during lockdown, you  might be able to afford some  custom jewellery for Christmas  – but not just any old custom  jewellery. 

If you’re not familiar with  his name yet, Abtin Abbasi, 32, has adorned some of the  world’s most famous with his shiny creations and this festive season will be no different.  The self-made Londoner has recently opened his first  showroom in the diamond  district of Hatton Garden, A Jewellers, and has encouraged Voice readers to swing  by for all of their gems, precious stones and metals. 

In a year when many have  felt the pinch Abbasi’s rise has continued despite the many hurdles placed in his way, it’s a true testament  to his dogged determination  to make his mark in a saturated and competitive industry.  And make his mark he has. 

The likes of AJ Tracey, Wiz  Kid, Fredo, Burna Boy, Young  Adz and Mist have all entrusted Abbasi with delivering their  vision for the ultimate piece  of Tom (jewellery) and his expert team at A Jewellers craft custom luxury watches which  are quickly being snapped up  by some of the world’s most famous faces. 

The firm prides itself on their custom-made luxury watches, which can be seen adorning  the wrists of countless famous  stars such as sportsmen  Floyd Mayweather, Paul Pogba, Eden Hazard, Alexander  Iwobi and Joe Willock.  

Customer satisfaction is our greatest reward

In addition to their bespoke  watches, A Jewellers also create diamond jewellery and  pieces crafted from other precious stones and metals.

They use innovative designers and ensure to use the  highest quality setters, assemblers and stones for every  single piece. 

Refined

Abbasi told The Voice: “The distinguished and refined tastes of our customers demand nothing but the highest quality  craftsmanship, and a level of  customer service which is unrivalled in our industry.

My team and I take great  pride in our custom work, applying the greatest levels of  skill and attention to detail to  each piece we make. We work closely with each customer to design something which is  beautiful and unique to them.

“Their satisfaction is our  greatest reward as master craftsmen.”

Abbasi’s journey started  when he was 18 years old. From a young age he was drawn towards fashion, art  and jewellery, especially eccentric fashion, graffiti and  street art.  

This became his starting point and influence for work ing in the jewellery business.  

Later on, he would begin to  notice his favourite hip-hop  artists with custom made jewellery pieces, paying attention to the specific people who  made them.  

His peers were also fashion  conscious, but Abbasi paid  more attention than the others, eventually turning it into a  fully-fledged career.
