Our History

A Friendly and Approachable Family Run Business

We have been dealers trading in fine gemstones, antique, period and bespoke jewellery for over 20 years.

Eye For Quality

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.

Based In Harrogate

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.

Great Style & Superb Craftsmanship

The design and manufacture of what we stock is of upmost importance making sure all items have great style and superb craftsmanship whatever their age. Bespoke items are handmade in Yorkshire and London. The period jewellery is carefully vetted so we only sell goods in the best condition and each piece is checked over by our restoration workshop based in Mayfair before being entered into stock.
One factor we are very strict on when purchasing stock is wearability and make sure items are suitable to fit in with our modern lives. We hope that somewhere within our lovely stock there is something to suit all tastes and pockets whilst being able to guarantee fine quality.

We use independent gemological laboratories to supply gradings and assessments to our diamonds, coloured gems and pearls. Good colour and clarity diamonds and untreated colour gemstones form an extensive part of our stock and we provide the accompanying paperwork to give clients that extra piece of mind.

Client Testimonials

What they say

I have a four carat Victorian ring which I purchased a few years ago. It’s always been my dream to own a large solitaire diamond, I was elated with the ring Peter sourced for me as I was very specific about what I wanted. The stone is high quality and was certified by the GIA. I was also given a valuation certificate for insurance purposes. The ring was excellent value and the service I received was exemplary. I still use this company to check the setting every couple of years as I trust them completely. I also part exchanged a smaller ring for a very good price. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from Peter again in the future

"I can’t recommend them enough. I needed help and advice when choosing an engagement ring and was delighted with the service. The diamonds they sourced were perfect and bought at a very fair price. I certainly won’t be shopping anywhere else for the future purchases."
