Kiki McDonough, a renowned British jeweller often favored by the royal family, has proudly received a prestigious royal warrant from the Queen.

The London-based jeweller’s accomplishment has been discreetly announced on the Royal Warrants Association’s website following the award, which was presented by Camilla.

McDonough’s designs are particularly treasured by the Princess of Wales, who is frequently spotted wearing her elegant earrings.

The jeweller is undoubtedly thrilled with this recognition.

Speaking to the Mail, McDonough expressed her joy, saying, “Receiving a Royal Warrant is the greatest honor of my career—something I could hardly have imagined when I first began designing over 40 years ago.”

She continued, “Being acknowledged in this way for craftsmanship and consistency over the decades is incredibly special. A Royal Warrant signifies the highest level of trust and excellence, which makes this recognition even more significant.”

‘This moment feels like a celebration of a lifetime dedicated to the beauty and individuality of coloured gemstones.’

Founded in London in 1985 by fifth-generation jeweller McDonough, the eponymous fine jewellery brand is renowned for showcasing vibrant gemstones in timeless designs.

A Royal Warrant of Appointment is granted as a mark of recognition to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services to the Royal Household.

There are currently over 800 Royal Warrant holders and represent a huge cross-section of trade and industry, from individual craftspeople to global multi-nationals, ranging from dry cleaners to fishmongers, and from agricultural machinery to computer software.

Warrant-holding firms do not provide their goods or services for free to the Royal Households, and all transactions are conducted on a strictly commercial basis.

A Royal Warrant is initially granted for up to five years to a named individual at a company, known as the “Grantee”.

The grant of a Royal Warrant gives the holder the right to display the Royal Arms, but they are not entitled to claim or imply any exclusivity of supply.

However the kudos and value to them as a business can be enormous.

The King and Queen are the only royals to currently hand out warrants, but the Prince and Princess of Wales are also in the process of doing so.
