The House of Breners of London

“Anyone looking to add some explosive individuality… can safely halt their search at Breners of London” - Gentleman’s Journal

Breners of London was founded by James Brener, whose early life was shaped by close exposure to art, antiques, and objects made to endure. He began his career as a dealer in antique silver and jewellery on London’s Portobello Road, where he developed a lasting respect for objects with presence, character, and authority.

Rather than pursue fashion or trend, James chose to work in a different register. His work is grounded in the belief that jewellery and silverware should stand on their own terms. That an object’s form, scale, and function matter. And that the best pieces continue to hold attention and meaning long after they are made.

Breners of London creates jewellery and silverware defined by presence, clarity, and individuality. Some pieces are developed independently. Others are shaped in response to the lives and stories of those who commission them. Certain designs are intended to stand on their own, acquiring meaning through use and experience.

Inspiration comes from many sources, from historical forms and symbolic objects to contemporary culture. These influences appear in proportion, surface, and construction, producing work that is recognisable, self-contained, and exacting.

All pieces are made in collaboration with skilled craftspeople using time-honoured techniques. Production is unhurried, and materials are chosen with care.

Breners of London is for those who value jewellery and silverware with presence, who aren’t afraid to stand out, but who also appreciate tradition and classical form.
