What we try to maintain at Goodwins is the lost art of the traditional family jeweller where service and integrity are valued over the commercial bottom line. Welcome to Goodwins and I hope you enjoy both the shop and online experience here coupled with the unique jewellery, silver and service we offer.

Joe joined the family business full time in 1991 at the age of 17. Joe is Goodwins silver specialist with a particular interest in 19th century British silver.
At our Rose Street branch we are able to carry out minor jewellery and watch repairs while you wait. This includes watch battery and strap replacements. We have an onsite workshop which allows our highly trained staff to offer a full jewellery cleaning, polishing and rhodium plating service (visit our blog here for a comprehensive guide to jewellery and silverware cleaning courtesy of our director Joe Goodwin).

Sapphires are among the most naturally durable elements in the world, and have been treasured for thousands of years. The durability of this gemstone makes it an excellent choice for engagement rings and other items of jewellery that you plan to wear daily. The best known sapphires are blue, but they can be found in a variety of different colours.

I can’t urge you enough to NOT use this jewellers. Two years ago I took my (platinum and diamond) engagement ring to be resized and it came back severely damaged. After a lengthy debate and Goodwins refusing to take any responsibility for the broken band, they finally agreed to fix the ring, free of charge.

Shoddy workmanship, complete lack of care and disregard for personal items. Please don’t make the same mistake I did.

When we walked in (first impression was that it was very old fashioned, but kept an open mind) the two sales assistants just looked down their noses at us as if we were peasants. The one man that did eventually help us after we approached him(!) actually made fun of the design I described and was
