Mappin & Webb was founded in 1775 when Jonathan Mappin opened a silver workshop in Sheffield. Mappin & Webb has created jewels for royalty including the Empress of Russia and Princess Grace of Monaco. Queen Victoria was the first Monarch to commission M & W for a Golden Jubilee necklace in 1888 and it now holds two Royal Warrants.
