Charles Fish Jewellers

Pre-loved luxury jewellery in Essex

Charles Fish Jewellers is a British jeweller based in Essex that focuses on the sale of pre-loved luxury jewellery and designer watches. Its catalogue is built around previously owned pieces, with new additions weekly, and combines renowned Swiss brands with designer jewellery and classic-style pieces.

Pre-loved jewellery: categories and styles

The shop organises its pre-owned jewellery offering by gender (her, him, children) and by type of piece. Among the available categories are bracelets — including bangle bracelets, diamond bracelets and cufflinks —, earrings, necklaces and rings. Within necklaces, a distinction is made between Albert chains, chain only, charms, dress necklaces and pendants. In rings, the catalogue covers dress rings, engagement rings, gents rings, signet rings and wedding bands, as well as jewellery sets.

The selection is also grouped by collections: Asian style, British style, Charles Fish Signature Collection, classic jewellery, diamonds and gemstones, religious symbols and statement jewellery. Accessories include brooches, coins and bullions.

Engagement rings and diamonds

The engagement section includes pre-loved rings and pre-loved diamond engagement rings, the latter with a complimentary valuation. The search can be filtered by size and shape — brilliant, emerald, oval, pear and marquise —, by style and gemstone — cluster, solitaire and vintage style —, by metal — platinum and palladium, yellow gold and white gold — and by price range, with tiers under £500, between £500 and £2,000 and over £2,000. Wedding bands are also offered, including bespoke and pre-loved.

Pre-owned designer watches

The pre-owned watches section brings together Swiss brands such as Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Breitling, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, TAG Heuer, Tudor and Jaeger LeCoultre. In the case of Rolex, the catalogue details models such as Air King, Day-Date, Daytona, Datejust, Explorer, GMT Master, Milgaus, Oyster Perpetual, Sea Dweller, Sky Dweller, Submariner and Yacht-Master, with versions for men and for women. Cartier is broken down into Tank and Santos models, and Omega into Seamaster and Speedmaster. The search can be filtered by automatic watches, chronographs, limited editions, quartz and unworn pieces. The company also offers services to sell a watch or source a specific piece.

Fashion jewellery and watches

In addition to pre-loved jewellery, the shop sells new fashion jewellery and watches. Among the jewellery brands are Achara, Annie Haak, Hugo Boss, Kit Heath, Michael Kors, Olivia Burton, Thomas Sabo and Swarovski, the latter also with figurines.

Weekly new arrivals and commitment to sustainability
