Our Brand Story
Truly Jewellery was founded in 2019 by Elizabeth Hoye
A Journey of Passion, Perseverance and Purpose
Truly Jewellery is the culmination of Elizabeth’s love for fashion, design, and travel, paired with her deep-rooted experience in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter.
Growing up in the vibrant 1980s and studying fashion during the golden age of the supermodel icons, Elizabeth developed a bold, eclectic eye and a deep appreciation for style that is both timeless and expressive. Her aesthetic blends the romance of vintage glamour with a modern sensibility—bringing together the old and the new in effortless harmony.
With a background that spans the world of fashion and extensive international travel, Elizabeth saw a unique opportunity to merge her expertise with her love for luxury. Inspired by the timeless beauty of grand hotels and historical venues, she envisioned a brand that would allow guests not only to admire but also to own exquisite jewellery pieces while celebrating life’s special moments.
A lifelong admirer of Coco Chanel’s enduring elegance and independent spirit, Elizabeth draws particular inspiration from Chanel’s signature rope pearls—iconic, classic, and forever chic. Their influence is reflected in Truly Jewellery’s signature style: graceful, confident, and timeless, with a subtle nod to vintage elegance reimagined for today.
Truly Jewellery was born from this vision, offering guests the chance to indulge in beautifully designed jewellery while relaxing or commemorating meaningful milestones.
Elizabeth takes immense pride in leading a women-led business with strong ties to Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter—a place renowned for its craftsmanship and heritage. Through her journey, she has proven that even in the face of adversity, dreams can be realised with passion, perseverance, and a commitment to excellence.
