Sophie Harley London is delighted to announce our partnership with Beyond Curated, the bespoke experience house founded by Linda Hugo - bringing together fine jewellery and once-in-a-lifetime British experiences for clients who want to create special memories to mark a milestone.
The Partnership
Sophie Harley London and Beyond Curated bring fine jewellery and unforgettable British experiences together - for clients marking an anniversary, celebrating an achievement, or simply looking to gift a unique experience. A commissioned piece from Sophie Harley, paired with a Beyond Curated experience, becomes a gift with two lives: one to wear, and one to remember.
Beyond Curated describes the partnership beautifully: fine craftsmanship, mythology, personalisation, and a dedication to creating pieces imbued with deep emotion are qualities that run through both houses. It’s a shared belief that the best experiences, and the best jewellery, go beyond the expected, turning a piece or a day into something closer to an heirloom memory.
Sophie Harley is known beyond her London studio as the designer behind the Algerian Loveknot necklace, worn by Eva Green in the James Bond film Casino Royale. It has become one of the most recognised pieces in modern British jewellery. Through Beyond Curated, guests are offered privileged access to these pieces, as well as exclusive experiences at Sophie’s own studio and beyond.
If you're a Sophie Harley client with a milestone on the horizon, allow us to provide you with a once-in-a-lifetime experience in collaboration with Linda and the Beyond Curated team.

Who Is Linda Hugo?
Linda Hugo is the London-based Founder, Director and Owner of Beyond Curated. Her path to the company was forged over more than 26 years working across the luxury sector, with some of the industry's most prestigious heritage and fine jewellery houses.
Fuelled by a passion for history and culture, Linda founded Beyond Curated in 2019 to offer clients the world’s finest and most memorable experiences. She personally designs and delivers London’s most creatively curated, highly personalised private heritage and cultural days, working with a trusted address book of British craftspeople, historic institutions and specialist experts to curate days, and sometimes multi-day journeys, that couldn’t be booked any other way.
Her focus is on access and detail: private rooms, closed-door visits, and experts who don't normally give up their time to anyone outside their own trade. It's a style shaped by her own innate refinement and creative flair - and one that sits naturally alongside Sophie Harley's own way of working, where every piece is designed and made by hand with the same attention to craft and story.
What Is Beyond Curated?
Beyond Curated designs bespoke experience days across London and further afield, built around British craftsmanship, heritage and culture. Rather than offering a fixed menu of tours, each experience is assembled from a network of specialists: auction houses, tailors, jewellers, chauffeurs, restaurants and private venues, so that no two days run quite the same way twice.
Two experiences in particular sit closely alongside the world Sophie Harley clients already know and love: Bond and Beyond and Celebration of British Craftsmanship.
Bond and Beyond
A day built for anyone drawn to the glamour of classic British style. Bond and Beyond takes in the kind of details that make a story worth retelling: a visit to Sotheby's, a diamond masterclass, dinner at Rules with an illusionist at the table, a boat tour of London's most famous Bond filming locations, a martini masterclass, and chauffeur-driven travel in a vintage Aston Martin DB5 or DB6. For clients who want to take things further, the experience can extend to Scotland or Portugal, and a virtual version is also available.
For those who wish to mark the day with something to keep, a piece from the Algerian Loveknot collection - or the very necklace worn in Casino Royale - can be pre-ordered ahead of time and placed into your hands during the experience itself, whether that's over the martini masterclass, at dinner at Rules, or as a final flourish before the drive home. It transforms the day itself into the moment of presentation, rather than a piece that simply arrives afterwards - a fitting keepsake for a day spent within the world it came from.
Celebration of British Craftsmanship
A day designed around the people who keep British craft alive. Guests are taken behind the scenes with a Savile Row tailor and a fine jeweller, join a private salon conversation on the art of fine jewellery design, and visit a British perfumery with optional additions in millinery or embroidery for those who want to go deeper. The day is finished with a champagne afternoon tea, chauffeur-driven travel by Daimler or Bentley, and a British fine-dining dinner. Beyond Curated builds this experience around the same figures and institutions that have shaped Britain's own idea of craftsmanship, heritage and style - a fitting companion to a Sophie Harley piece designed and made in the same spirit.
A Gift With Two Lives
For clients commissioning a bespoke piece with Sophie Harley, whether that's a Demi-Bespoke design, completely unique bespoke jewellery or a piece from the Algerian Loveknot collection, a Beyond Curated experience is a natural way to mark the occasion.
