Introduction: A Legacy of Excellence in Fine Jewellery
Since our inception in 1878, Dipples has established itself as a cornerstone in the world of luxury jewellery, combining craftsmanship, tradition, and personalised service. Over the course of more than 145 years, our family-owned business has evolved from a modest shopfront to a renowned destination for those seeking high-quality, timeless pieces. Our commitment to excellence and family values remains at the core of everything we do, ensuring that each customer receives the best experience possible.
The Rich Heritage of Dipples: Five Generations of Family-Run Craftsmanship
Dipples was founded by George Dipple in 1878, initially serving the local community with bespoke jewellery and repair services. As the business grew, each generation contributed to its reputation for integrity and quality craftsmanship. Today, our lineage is maintained by Chris Ellis, a proud member of the fifth generation, who runs the business alongside his wife Rebecca. The Ellis family’s dedication to maintaining high standards and personal relationships has set Dipples apart in a competitive market.
Throughout the years, the family has remained committed to passing down expert knowledge, ensuring that each piece of jewellery reflects generations of skill and passion. Our team’s deep-rooted understanding of fine jewellery design, sourcing, and craftsmanship is your assurance of superior quality.
