Services
After a number of years selling antique jewellery to the trade in London, Andrew set up his own business, Trivette in 1998 exhibiting at fairs across the country. Catherine joined the business in 2006 and our website was launched in 2008. In 2016 we opened our shop in the heart of Shrewsbury, Shropshire and changed our trading name to Thomas Glover (a combination of our family names).
As antique jewellery specialists, we have many years of experience required for buying and selling authentic items of jewellery. Every item in our collection is carefully selected on its individual merits and chosen for its design and period charm. We check every item we have for sale to ensure it is genuine and above all for its excellent quality and wear-ability.
We have unique rings for sale from the Georgian period through to the mid 20th century. We always try to have a wide selection of vintage rings from each era and to fit most budgets. Browse our delicate cluster rings, statement cocktail rings and classic princess-cut engagement rings. We love working with couples to source the perfect vintage engagement ring and can provide advice as to suitability for everyday wear.
We always love helping to source the perfect engagement ring and have a beautiful selection from the classic to the more alternative. We can work with you and the budget that you have in mind to find the special ring that's perfect for you. Why not come into our jewellery shop in Shrewsbury to see and try on our engagement rings.
An eternity ring is a band of metal set with a continuous line of precious stones. They became popular in the 1920's although they have been around since the time of the Pharos. Eternity rings symbolise never-ending love and, as the stones go all the way around the band, they cannot be sized and as such must fit the wearer.

I can't recommend Thomas Glover enough! I'm so glad I found this gem of a shop. Andrew was so kind and patient helping me find the perfect engagement ring. He let me try on a range of different styles and was very knowledgeable about the history of each piece. It's obvious that they are really passionate about what they do. I fell in love with a beautiful art deco diamond solitaire ring (completely different from what I thought I wanted!). The customer service and communication was fantastic. I look forward to purchasing my next piece of jewellery from Thomas Glover soon :-)

I bought a wonderful Edwardian sapphire engagement ring from Thomas Glover and I found every aspect of the buying experience to be a pleasure.
A slick and user friendly website with excellent photography is coupled with friendly, professional and knowledgeable service in person.
Thomas Glover has a wonderful collection of pieces, and I would encourage anyone looking for a unique item to pay them a visit.
Oh, and she said "yes!"

Outstanding service and amazing jewellery! I was looking for an art deco engagement ring and after viewing many reproductions elsewhere, I finally found Thomas Glover with genuine jewellery from that era. The owners were very accommodating in letting me try on lots from their amazing range, covering all styles and budgets. They let the jewellery do the talking and there was no sales pitch or pushing at all. Not only did I find a beautiful unique engagement ring, I returned a few months later to buy an equally special 1930s wedding ring.
Can't recommend these guys enough!

I am so pleased I found this jewelry business. I was looking for a crescent necklace, they had a brooch. They helped me decide how I would prefer to convert it, made it into a necklace and shipped it to the US in and incredibly timing manner. They made sure to track it and keep me informed. The necklace went above and beyond my expectations. I am so pleased with it and the whole experience. Thanks Catherine and Andrew!

I can’t recommend Thomas Glover highly enough. After window-shopping online for some time, I decided to visit their shop in a brief gap between lockdowns! What a wonderful experience. Like a kid in a candy shop, I couldn’t stop admiring the beautiful range of jewellery on offer. I was initially after a pair of stud earrings, but some small drop earrings took my eye instead. I wasn’t 100% sure as I’d been very set on drops, so I wanted a few days to think about them. Andrew couldn’t have been more helpful or understanding - it’s definitely not a hard-sell kind of place which meant I

I have been looking for an eternity ring for quite a while for my wife, I found the perfect one with Thomas Glover and from my initial enquiry until the quick delivery they were outstanding. My wife is over joyed with the ring and the quality was superb.
I also purchased an RAF gold brooch as i fell in love with it as I collect military memorabilia and it is stunning, I am also over the moon with the brooch.
Will be back again soon!

We bought a beautiful antique sapphire and diamond engagement ring from Thomas Glover. We spotted the ring on the website but visited the shop to see the ring and try it on. Catherine and Andrew couldn't have been more helpful. In addition to resizing the engagement ring they also created 2 fabulous gold wedding rings from 3 wedding rings originally belonging to great grandparents.
Excellent value for money and we're happy to wholeheartedly recommended them.
Thank you so much
