James Brener grew up surrounded by art and antiques, sparking an early fascination with craftsmanship and history. He began his career as an antique silver and jewellery dealer on London’s iconic Portobello Road. Here he developed a deep appreciation for meticulously crafted pieces that have stood the test of time.

This passion for enduring quality and tradition fuels James’s commitment to promoting traditional techniques and artisanal skills. His distinctive designs merge contemporary inspiration, from Japanese gardens to grenades, with a dedication to hand craftsmanship, resulting in modern heirlooms that honour the past while embracing the future.

Through Breners of London, James creates jewellery and silverware for gentlemen that is both strikingly modern and timeless. Each piece is crafted with the intention of becoming an heirloom, designed to be worn, used, and treasured for generations to come.
