Alchemy Gothic – jewellery and accessories from the cult British brand
The range from Alchemy England runs from pewter jewellery through cold-cast resin decor to lifestyle products – every piece shaped by the trademark Alchemy visual language drawing on gothic, rock, steampunk and occult influences. The brand was founded in 1977 in Leicester, England and continues to develop its designs there today, with original artwork still produced in-house by the brand's design team.
Jewellery, decor and more – the Alchemy range at a glance
The largest part of the range is formed by jewellery in pewter: necklaces with a wide motif spectrum, rings from compact to bold, earrings in many forms and bracelets. The jewellery section is rounded out by the standalone series UL13 with rock and biker motifs and UL17 with playfully dark designs.
In the decor section you'll find goblets and glasses, candle holders in cold-cast resin and metal, alongside hand-painted skulls and wall reliefs from the Vault Collection. Rugs, macramé wall hangings, mirrors and tarot decks from the brand sit under Alchemy Decor & Lifestyle.
Frequently asked questions about Alchemy Gothic
Where does Alchemy Gothic come from?
Alchemy England was founded in 1977 in Leicester, originally emerging from the British punk scene. The brand remains based in England to this day, where its designs continue to be developed and produced. The name "Alchemy Gothic" itself was introduced in 1995, after the brand recognised that the majority of its customers had moved into a distinctly goth direction – the underlying artistic identity, however, traces back continuously to that summer of 1977.
What material is Alchemy Gothic jewellery made from?
The jewellery is predominantly crafted from pewter – structurally stable, robust and well suited to fine sculpted detail. Components that pass through ear lobes are made from surgical steel for compatibility with sensitive skin. Decorative pieces from the Vault Collection are crafted in cold-cast resin and hand-painted, with the carefully worked finish that has built the brand its serious international following.
What are the UL13 and UL17 collections?
UL13 is a jewellery collection featuring rock, biker and festival motifs – the harder-edged of the two sister ranges, drawing on old-school tattoo iconography. UL17 shows playfully dark designs with hearts, locks and similar elements, leaning more romantic and decorative. Both are standalone series within the wider Alchemy range, each with its own distinct visual identity.
How do I keep Alchemy jewellery and decor looking sharp?
For pewter jewellery, polish gently with a soft cloth – avoid silver polish and harsh cleaners, which can damage the patinated finish that gives Alchemy pewter its characteristic look. Store separately to prevent scratching against other pieces. For cold-cast resin decor, dust gently with a soft brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh cleaners and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the hand-painted finish over the years.
