Lowry Jewellers

Lowry Jewellers: family jewellery retail in Lisburn and Banbridge

Lowry Jewellers is a family business that has been supplying jewellery and watches since 1972. Its founder, Charles Raymond Lowry, first traded in Ballynahinch before moving the business to Banbridge; growth later led to a second branch in the historic Market Square of Lisburn, where the company's registered office is located. The firm describes itself as continuing to expand on the strength of a loyal client base and a regularly updated range of jewellery and watches.

Engagement and wedding rings with private viewing rooms

A central part of the offer is diamond engagement rings, presented in private viewing rooms available in store. The range is organised by style, including solitaire, halo, cluster, three-stone and five-stone settings, and by stone cut, with brilliant, cushion, emerald, oval, pear, princess, marquise and radiant options. Metal choices cover white gold, platinum and yellow gold, and the stone selection extends beyond diamond to sapphire, emerald, ruby and lab-grown diamond.

Wedding rings are catalogued separately for ladies and men, with diamond-set, patterned and plain styles, and are available in yellow gold, platinum, white gold, palladium and Argentium silver.
