A friendly and approachable family run business. We have been dealers trading in fine gemstones, antique, period and bespoke jewellery for over 20 years. Having gained extensive knowledge first working in Harrogate for a BADA dealership before a stint in London’s famed Burlington Arcade our eye for quality has been harnessed through handling thousands of wonderful pieces.
We started trading independently from London’s Portobello Antiques Market before moving to offices in Bond Street and Hatton Garden. As exhibitors at many international antique jewellery shows including New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Hong Kong and Singapore we have built an extensive network of clients from whom we buy and sell.
Now based back in the Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate where our affinity with antique jewellery began we are entering the digital age with our website. Working in tandem with our new office, clients are free to book an appointment to view any stock items of interest or show their jewellery that they may wish to sell. We also make bespoke commissions and will go the extra mile to source any item a client requires that we currently do not have within our stock. We offer repair and restoration services and will always make fair offers to purchase any unwanted items of jewellery whether that be a single piece or a large collection.
Our aim is to provide insightful and thoughtful advice within a private no pressure environment. We are always happiest passing on what information we can about diamonds, coloured gemstones, pearls and jewellery from across the ages to enhance our customer experience. Whether it’s a piece from last year or the last millennium our emphasis is always on quality, from the cut and colour of diamonds and gemstones to the lustre of opals and natural pearls.... See more
