Kayes Jewellers, Chester
Kayes Jewellers is a distinguished, family-run jeweller nestled in the heart of historic Chester, at the entrance to the elegant Edwardian Saint Michael's Row Arcade. With a rich history spanning over 70 years, Kayes remains an independent, privately owned establishment that specializes in exquisite engagement and wedding jewelry, bespoke designs, and stunning vintage pieces.
The story of Kayes Jewellers began in 1948 when Michael Kosciukiewitcz opened his first shop in Rhyl, North Wales. Over time, practicality led to a dramatic shortening of the surname-partly to fit the expensive gold leaf signage adorning the shopfront. In 1965, Kayes found its new home in Chester and has since been passed through generations of the Kaye family. Today, under the ownership of Nick Kaye, the business proudly upholds its long-standing traditions of quality, craftsmanship, and personal service.
What sets Kayes apart is its dedication to bespoke jewelry. From handmade engagement rings to custom pieces crafted in collaboration with clients, every item is a reflection of British craftsmanship at its finest. The team of diamond and gemstone experts provides a step-by-step guide for customers, ensuring a unique and stress-free experience without sales pressure or commission-driven tactics.
Kayes Jewellers also showcases an impressive selection of diamonds, colored gemstones, and fine jewelry, sourced exclusively from reputable suppliers adhering to United Nations resolutions on non-conflict diamonds. Their commitment to ethics and quality ensures peace of mind for every client.
With an emphasis on beautiful design, exceptional quality, and personal service, Kayes Jewellers is not just a jewelry store but a destination for those seeking to mark life’s most significant moments with pieces that are as unique and enduring as the stories behind them.
