Pearl Restringing
Our pearl restringing service deserves special mention. We use high-quality silk thread and expert knotting techniques to ensure your pearls are secure, well-spaced, and hang beautifully.

While we handle many repairs in-house, we also collaborate with a carefully curated network of highly skilled goldsmiths and specialists. This ensures that each piece is repaired by an expert in that specific type of work.
Preservation of Value
For antique and valuable pieces, our restoration work aims to preserve or even enhance the item's value. We always strive to maintain the original character and craftsmanship of the piece.
Consultation & Estimates
We begin each repair project with a thorough consultation, providing you with a detailed assessment and estimate. We'll explain the repair process, discuss any potential challenges, and offer our professional recommendations.
Every repaired piece undergoes rigorous quality checks before being returned to you. We ensure that not only is the specific issue addressed, but that the entire piece meets our high standards.
Upon completing your repair, we'll provide you with advice on how to care for your jewellery to prevent future damage and maintain its beauty.

What a magical place.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming and I loved the fact they give you their full attention & provide the best service slow-time. I purchased a vintage sapphire engagement ring for my fiance last year and it's perfect, I did not feel a single bit of pressure to make a purchase and I could compare rings until my heart was content to ensure I was choosing the right one.
Superb store & staff, look no further for antique & vintage jewellery!

I recently purchased a stunning Georgian ring from this lovely shop via their online store, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Catherine was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, patiently answering all of my questions and sharing so much knowledge about the piece. I had the ring resized and shipped to Germany, and everything went smoothly. I’m thrilled with my purchase. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for unique, high-quality jewelry with excellent customer service!

We recently bought a beautiful diamond ring from Thomas Glover and our experience throughout was brilliant! Both Catherine and Andrew were very friendly, and when trying on the ring they were very thorough with ensuring the resizing would be perfect. The ring arrived very quickly and is just as lovely as when we first saw it.
If you’re looking for good quality jewellery, and friendly service, I would highly recommend Thomas Glover!
