WEDDINGS Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery In 1996, following almost 20 years working in the jewellery trade, Tim Roe took the brave step of launching his own jewellery business and Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery opened its doors on South Street, Chichester on June 28th that year. He soon made a name for himself designing and producing both innovative and classical pieces to a very high standard, and eventually taking on the neighbouring shop to provide much-needed extra space. He has since been joined by his son, Dan, and together they’ve grown the business into a popular and highly respected jeweller who are known for both making fine jewellery, and for their committed focus on achieving excellence in all facets of design, craftsmanship and service. What makes Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery stand out from other jewellers in the area is their longstanding ability to manufacture fine jewellery on site, from the initial concept, or twodimensional design, right through to the casting and stone-setting stages, and on to the final, finished piece. The in-house team of designers and jewellers offer a complete on-site service that covers every specialist discipline required to produce bespoke fine jewellery. In their casting department, they work with precious metals daily before handing over to the the stone setters who breathe magic into the piece by adding the sparkle and colour. Traditional skills and up-to-the-minute technology sit side by side, enhancing the services offered to their customers and supported by approachable, experienced and knowledgeable sales staff. Customers are involved in the design and production process and always appreciate the individuality of the final result. If you had to define Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery’s signature style, it would be that everything designed and made by them is destined to be cherished and handed down to sit happily alongside heirloom pieces, or to create entirely new future ones. Whether it’s something to be made from scratch, or a remake from something treasured but a bit tired and worn, Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery breathes new life into timeworn pieces and also offers all types of jewellery repair services from their South Street showroom. Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery has a vast variety of items for sale that also provide inspiration for those wanting to design their own piece. This time of year naturally sees an increase in weddings and engagements, and the largest proportion of Timothy Roe’s sales is devoted to jewellery for these occasions. Engagement rings range from the elegant purity of a diamond solitaire to more modern, multistoned creations. It’s said that couples always remember the experience of buying their engagement and wedding rings and Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery specialises in making this as memorable as possible for all the right reasons. Guidance at all stages is offered if needed, as is real empathy for how difficult and important a decision it is. 74 The creatively dressed windows of the South Street shop stand out among those of its peers attracting many passing compliments from customers and drawing in those looking for something really special. At Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery the aim is to minimise the mystery that so often accompanies the whole experience of buying fine jewellery - the staff are welcoming, approachable, and always happy to answer any jewellery enquiries, and the shop is open seven days a week.
