Independent jewellers across the country took to their laptop’s to honour and support the hardworking independent jewellery sector, where Hertfordshire’s own Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery proudly won ‘Bespoke Jewellery Retailer of the Year’ at Retail Jeweller’s UK Jewellery Awards. The 2020 awards ceremony was held virtually, with participants encouraged to raise a glass to the hard-hit sector from home. The night brought together the jewellery industry’s finest for a celebration of the hard-working field. The new category of ‘Bespoke Jewellery Retailer of the Year’ was introduced for 2020, specifically celebrating bespoke retailers. Judges commended Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery, describing them as “a true bespoke jeweller in every sense of the word.” The acclaimed bespoke jewellers specialise in individual design made possible by a team of qualified designers on hand in every studio. The importance placed into each customer’s story can directly be seen in the Halls Green studio, with each designer’s desk surrounded by personal cards and letters of thanks from their customers. The panel of judges further commented: “this business was singled out for its steadfast dedication to customer led jewellery, setting the bar for bespoke jewellers in the trade.” Owner and founder, Harriet Kelsall responded gleefully: “We couldn’t be happier. 2020 has been such a challenging year for everybody, including those of us in non-essential retail. It has been tough but still successful thanks to our amazing, loyal customers and our brilliant, agile and hardworking team. Harriet went on to say: “This award is such a wonderful prize to win after such a tricky time and we are all even more inspired than ever to keep telling our customers love stories and life stories in the form of beautiful bespoke jewellery.” The bespoke jewellers have won numerous previous awards for their ground-breaking concept of a working design studio combined with eye-catching retail, including winning ‘Bridal Jewellery Retailer of the Year’ at 2016’s UK Jewellery Awards and ‘Boutique Retailer of the Year’ in 2013. Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery’s Hertfordshire, Cambridge and Primrose Hill studios are still open to the public for you to see talented designers and goldsmiths hard at work creating beautiful jewellery. www.hkjewellery.co.uk
