Welcome to Cousins Fine Jewellery
Established in Canterbury in 1920, Cousins is one of Britain's longest-established independent family jewellers, just 55 minutes from London St Pancras by train.
Today, the business is run by brothers Nigel and Jonathan Cousins, alongside the fourth generation of the family. We appreciate jewellery that combines the character and elegance of traditional design with a fresh, contemporary feel. Many of the pieces in our collection have been personally designed, selected or commissioned by us, reflecting the styles, craftsmanship and materials we most admire.
Alongside our contemporary collections and carefully chosen antique and vintage pieces, we offer a bespoke design service, working with customers to create jewellery that is truly their own.
Over the years, we have been privileged to help generations of families celebrate engagements, anniversaries, birthdays and other special moments. Whether you are looking for a gift, a special jewel or something designed especially for you, we are always happy to share our knowledge and experience.
When you visit, you will be welcomed by members of the family who know our collection well and genuinely enjoy talking about jewellery. We are always pleased to meet new customers and welcome back our long-standing customers and friends.
We hope you will call in and spend a little time with us.
Some of the most treasured discoveries are the ones that were never expected.
From Jonathan's Journal
The Art of Hand-Painted Jewellery Designs.
Before a piece of jewellery comes to life, there is often a design on paper. Hand-painted jewellery designs capture the colour, character and fine details of a piece, bringing an idea to life before it is made. In this latest journal entry, Jonathan explores the artistry behind these designs and the enduring role they play in the world of fine jewellery.

Julian Cousins Valuations
For insurance or probate purposes, it is very important that you obtain a jewellery valuation from a professional valuer registered with either the Institute of Registered Valuers or the Jewellery Valuers Association.
Both the insurance industry and HMRC (for probate, or Inheritance Tax Assessment valuations) expect just as high professional standards from jewellery valuers as they do from building surveyors, structural engineers or accountants. That's why we recommend Julian for all your jewellery valuation needs.
