How to Find a Top Independent Jeweller that Suits your Needs


There has been a definite shift of late towards people wanting to shop local, and it’s easy to see why: the personal service, the ease of being able to pop to a local shop and, of course, knowing that you’re supporting a small, independent business is always going to be a plus. But how do you go about finding a top independent jeweller near you that suits your needs? Here’s what you need to look for.

Internet Search

First things first, it’s worth doing an online search engine search for “independent jewellery shops near me”. This will give you an overview of all of your options in terms of independent jewellers nearby. If you’re looking specifically for an independent jeweller (and there are plenty of great reasons that you should be!), be certain to include ‘independent’ in the search terms, rather than looking for just “jeweller near me” as this will filter out the high street chains.

Work out precisely what you’re looking for

Once you have an overview of jewellers local to you, you then need to work out what you want from an independent jeweller. Do you require jewellery repairs, servicing or new watch batteries regularly? If so look for an independent jeweller who carries out jewellery repairs on the premises to ensure the safety of your precious pieces.

Would you like a piece of jewellery created bespoke for you? Then have a look at the bespoke services that independent jewellers close to you offer.

Are you looking for a long lasting relationship with a jeweller who can help you to build your jewellery collection over time? If so, then you should look for a jeweller who can fulfil a whole range of the above jewellery needs and more!

Choosing your Independent Jeweller

Of course, there’s more to choosing a jeweller than their location and their services. Here at E.K. Jewellers, we want you to feel confident when using our services and build a relationship with us.
