Michael Jones Jeweller of Northampton and Banbury 2022-2023 Bookalogue

Back in 2019, we reflected on 100 years of trading, along with landmark events over this period, and looked forward to the next centenary. Little could I have known that we’d be facing an upheaval to all our lives and the world events that would unfold soon after.

However, we are pleased that there has now been a return to business as normal, with serving screens stowed away and masks no longer mandatory. We are appreciative of all the support you have provided us with throughout the difficulties of the last two years. It is because of your unwavering loyalty that we are able to continue providing our high-quality services and products.

This year, we are particularly excited to present Fabergé, a new addition to our brands. In May, I had the pleasure of being a guest of Fabergé, at the V&A exhibition in London. Seeing much of their legacy collectively laid out in one space was breath-taking to say the least. We are proud to be part of the Fabergé journey and an authorised retailer of such a prestigious brand.

We are also honoured to be stocking Bremont. Their watches are designed and produced entirely in the UK with traditional British qualities in mind and are suitable to be worn anywhere, from the boardroom to the harshest of environments.

In this year’s taster catalogue, we present you with an insight of the wonderful products we offer; the full range can be found on our website or by visiting us in store. The QR code provided on this page can be scanned to direct you to our website where all available pieces can be found. We are confident that we offer something for everyone, and in the instance that we do not have what you are looking for, be assured that we can either source it or create it for you.

With climate change at the forefront of our minds, increasing sustainability within our company is incredibly important to us. In an effort to become carbon neutral, we completed our first carbon footprint audit earlier this year. We also take pride in selling and repairing pieces that will be worn for many years and passed on to the next generation.

I’d like to conclude by reflecting on the recent passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. A constant in an ever-changing world, she had always remained a true embodiment of grace and stability. We thank her for a lifetime of unfaltering service.
