There’s something incredibly special about seeing vintage James Porter & Son pieces return to the boutique.

For Simon, our fifth-generation owner, moments like these are a meaningful reminder of the generations of stories, milestones and memories connected to the business.

This beautiful 18ct gold and garnet diamond ring was originally purchased in 1928 and still carries an engraving marking Christmas Day from almost a century ago.
Jewellery often becomes part of a family’s story, passed down and treasured through the years, and we feel privileged whenever we’re able to see these pieces again.

If you have a vintage James Porter & Son piece, we’d love for you to visit us in store, whether you’d like a valuation, some advice, or simply to share the history behind it.
