Wakefields Jewellers, family jewellers in Horsham since 1911

Wakefields Jewellers is an independent jeweller based in Horsham, West Sussex (United Kingdom), which presents itself as a family business and states it has been part of its customers' stories for over a century. Its history dates back to 1911 and, according to its own account, it has maintained throughout that period an activity focused on fine jewellery and luxury watches.

The company operates from a showroom where it combines the sale of selected pieces with advisory services, bespoke commissions and its own jewellery and watchmaking workshops.

It has engagement rings, wedding bands, eternity rings and bridal jewellery pieces, with options for single stone, halo, three stone, coloured gemstones and laboratory-grown diamonds.
