A seamstress and avid button collector, Carol had wanted to have a bespoke button ring made for many years. 3 years ago she had been left a considerable amount of gold jewellery from her late Mum, but unfortunately much of it was broken and not wearable. Carol approached us (Josephs), to enquire about her long desire of having a button ring made and using her Mother’s jewellery to create it. She discussed her passion for buttons and we were delighted to help. We discussed dif

Brenda came to us wanting to create a beautiful piece of jewellery using a selection of her recently passed Mum’s jewellery. Brenda wanted to be able to wear the sentimental jewellery everyday as it was special and held memories not only of her Mum, but her Dad too who always bought the jewellery for her. Brenda was unsure of what could be created as there was a substantial amount, so we discussed some ideas with her to use as much as we could from the gold and diamond jewell

We create unique bespoke pieces of sentimental jewellery every week for our customers and because they are all born from different backgrounds and a variety of gems and precious metals, we love sharing the stories. This particular ring was created using the diamond from our client, Tina’s own engagement ring and the diamond from her recently passed Mum’s ring. This meant her own diamond and that of her mums would sit together forever in one ring. The new cocktail ring was ma

A lovely lady visited our shop with an idea in her head. She wanted to turn sentimental and older jewellery that she no longer wore into a piece she could wear with love and pride. She had her late mother's wedding ring, eternity ring and other pieces of jewellery that she thought we could use to create something special. Initially our customer was looking to have a ring made, however after much discussion we suggested that, due to the amount of jewellery she had, having a ba

When we decided to invite Jarilo Design into our ‘home’, we were a little apprehensive as to how we were going to feel in the spotlight! After meeting Mark and the team and having our first brew of the day, we could tell it was going to be a great day! We wanted to create a video that captured many of the services we offer here at Josephs Jewellers, so that our customers could gain a better insight into what we do. Watch the video below: Our in-house goldsmith Nic ( sitting i

We are often asked to redesign customers' existing jewellery, whether it be an older piece they've had for some time, or a sentimental piece passed down to them by a family member or friend. We find that it's often the metal colour that no longer suits, with a preference for white gold and platinum over yellow gold. There can be a number of reasons for someone wishing to change the look of their jewellery and we love to help them achieve this. One such customer came to us wa

We absolutely love it when we are asked by our customers to create a new piece of jewellery using diamonds from family heirlooms. It's often the case that people are left jewellery from family members that might not be to their exact taste. Jewellery is a very personal thing, and what might be right for one person is not for another. This can just simply be down to taste, or it can be down to latest trends, hand size, hair colour, personality etc. There are many reasons why a

There is absolutely no doubt that the popularity of coloured stones is still going strong. There's a skyrocketing demand at the moment as people appreciate their beauty and value. No longer are our windows all about the clear diamonds, but an abundance of colour is shouting from the sides and making a real impact! Beautiful and bold is definitely the trend everyone is heading for and wanting to wear regularly. This growing popularity has been heavy influenced by fashion trend
