Yorkshire Jewellery Company

An independent jeweller in Saltburn-by-the-Sea

Yorkshire Jewellery Company is an independent, family-run jeweller based in the Victorian seaside town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, close to the North Yorkshire Jurassic Coast. The business combines a retail showroom with its own in-house workshop, and its range spans handcrafted Whitby Jet, coloured gemstones, bridal rings, designer jewellery and watches.

The company describes itself as a specialist in wedding and engagement rings, diamonds and luxury watches, and its team includes gemstone specialists who advise customers on choosing pieces for different occasions.

Whitby Jet made in the on-site workshop

Whitby Jet is a central part of the offer. The company states that it manufactures handcrafted Whitby Jet jewellery in its own workshop, using locally sourced material. The Jet range is organised by type: pendants, earrings, bracelets and bangles, rings, brooches and cufflinks. Within each category, pieces can be browsed by metal, by collection and by gemstone.

Bridal, diamonds and coloured gemstones

For engagements and weddings, the catalogue includes engagement rings, Whitby Jet engagement rings, wedding bands for men and women, and Whitby Jet, titanium and zirconium wedding rings. Customers can build a ring through a gemstone ring builder or design a wedding ring. Guidance pages cover the diamond 4Cs, wedding ring profiles, precious metals and diamond shapes.

Beyond diamonds, the gemstone selection covers birthstones such as garnet, amethyst, aquamarine, emerald, pearl, ruby, peridot, sapphire, opal, topaz, citrine and tanzanite, alongside popular stones including Whitby Jet, amber, turquoise, abalone, Blue John, cubic zirconia, labradorite, lapis lazuli, malachite, mother of pearl, rose quartz, smoky quartz and Swarovski crystal. The site also lists natural and lab-grown diamonds among its specialities.

Jewellery by type, metal and collection

The jewellery catalogue is structured by type — pendants and necklaces, earrings, bracelets and bangles, rings, brooches, chains, men's jewellery, cufflinks, signet rings and ashes jewellery — and by metal, including sterling silver, silver plated, gold plated, yellow and rose gold vermeil, black rhodium, and 9ct and 18ct yellow and white gold. Collections include Animals, Celtic, Coastal, Contemporary, Floral, Hearts, Marquise, Tree of Life, Unique and Wildlife, plus a Silver Collection and a Gold Collection. Pieces can also be filtered by price band, from under £50 to £1000 and above.

Designer jewellery is stocked from Shaun Leane, UNOde50, Qudo, Coeur de Lion, Shrieking Violet, PDPAOLA and Little Star, and the shop carries Connoisseurs jewellery cleaning products such as wipes, gold and silver cloths, silver dip, a diamond cleaning stick and cleansing foam.

Watches: new and pre-owned

The watch department covers Tissot, Seiko, Citizen, Casio, Doxa, G-Shock and Edifice, with sections for him, for her and for watch care. The company also trades in pre-owned watches, including Swiss brands such as Rolex, Omega and Cartier, and runs a service to sell or trade a luxury watch.

Workshop services

Alongside retail, the on-site workshop handles repairs, bespoke design, remodelling and gold buying. These services sit alongside the sale of new and pre-owned pieces and the bridal and gemstone ranges.
