Goldsmiths is a luxury jewellery retailer based in the United Kingdom. Established in 1778, the company operates over 120 showrooms across the Great Britain and Northern Ireland. As a respect to high quality craftsmanship, the jeweller sells their products exclusively in the United Kingdom and does not export their precious jewels abroad.[1]


History

Goldsmiths is a jewellery business with over 230 years of tradition and experience, in that time growing to become one of the largest jewellers in the UK. Their first showroom, located in Newcastle, opened in 1778 and is still trading today on the same site. The business has over 120 showrooms nationwide and a trading website.[1]

There have been many notable achievements for Goldsmiths[citation needed], which include being the UK’s first appointed stockist of Rolex watches[citation needed]. Today, it operates the largest distribution network for Rolex as well as Cartier, Omega, TAG Heuer, Gucci and many other reputable prestige and fashion watch brands.[citation needed]
