Our Story
Founded in 2007 by Nick Kay, Hatton Jewels specialises in the acquisition of pre-owned fine jewellery and the graceful re-homing of antique treasures. Our jewellery boutique offers an unmatched personal process in designing and creating bespoke jewellery for all occasions.
Nick has over 40 years of experience in the industry, with a highly specialised knowledge in antique jewellery, natural pearls, fine coloured stones, and old cut Diamonds. Today, the team has become synonymous with expertise and service, where we have built a reputation of brilliance for buying, selling and creating all types of fine jewellery.
Over the years, Hatton Jewels has helped thousands of customers on their jewellery journeys. Since our beginnings in making and manufacturing eternity rings to then crafting all varieties of jewellery, to now where we encourage a more sustainable approach to jewellery. Through our pre-owned collections, bespoke creation of single made to order pieces and the repurposing of unworn jewellery through the purchasing of customers unwanted items.
I founded Hatton Jewels with a deep passion for the beauty and fine craftsmanship of jewellery, coming from a background in hand manufacturing and restoration of items. I have many years of experience in the jewellery industry, specifically in dealing with fine Diamonds and coloured Gemstones, with a profound personal interest in Natural Pearls. I am honoured to witness the boutique flourish.
