At W Evans & Son Jewellers we only stock the highest quality pieces, created by highly trained Goldsmiths and set with the finest Gemstones. Our staff hand select each piece we sell so you can buy with complete confidence. In 1851 the Derbyshire town of Wirksworth saw the doors of William Evans' Jewellers open for the first time.

Proudly advertising William's skills as a jeweller and watchmaker, the small store became synonymous with high quality and craftsmanship. Joined by his son, Charles, who had recently completed his training as a refractionist (now known as an optician).

Whenever I have been to Evans jewellery shop the staff have always been helpful and friendly. It is a lovely old shop, it is interesting looking at their museum section.

EVANS, the Jeweller's, Dale Road, Matlock, Derbyshire. This well established local Jeweller offers impeccable customer service.
I called in with a minor watch repair late afternoon on March 7th - the problem was solved very quickly and efficiently while I waited - nothing was too much trouble and I even had to force a charge from the Gentleman/Owner. Rarely do I see this level of service in retail today, absolutely brilliant, thank you EVANS for a great experience.

Came in while visiting Matlock, wanted to purchase a watch I saw they were selling on their eBay account. Woman who served me was pleasant and very helpful. Even put me a brand new battery in the watch. Great service overall and I really love my new watch. Thank you

I wouldn't suggest using their services. They "attempted" to take links out of a genuine Armarni watch (authenticity has been confirmed by Armarni ) They have broken and ruined a very expensive and quality watch and claim it is not their fault. They cannot say it is fake just because of their mistake. They were rude and attitude was shocking. Stay away!

First went to this jewellers about 5 years ago. Staff so helpful without being "pushy" just allowed to take our time. Some very unusual pieces of jewellry and we have never come away since without purchasing something. Never been disapointed.

Matlock is so fortunate to have Evans the jewellers......they have always had an excellent reputation for value, variety and service.
They have a tremendous choice of gifts for every occasion and a fine range of gold and silver jewellery.
I have always tried to support local businesses, and keep them servicing the local area. Lots of exclusive designs in watches and clocks.
They also fit watch batteries.
