Welcome to Cousins Fine Jewellery

Established in Canterbury in 1920, Cousins is one of Britain's longest-established independent family jewellers. 

Today the business is run by brothers Nigel and Jonathan Cousins, together with the fourth generation of the family. Many of the pieces you see in our collection have been designed, selected or commissioned by us personally, and reflect the styles, craftsmanship and materials that we most admire.

Alongside contemporary jewellery, we also offer carefully chosen antique and vintage pieces, each selected for its individuality, beauty and enduring appeal.

Over the years we have been privileged to help generations of families mark engagements, anniversaries, birthdays and other significant moments. Whether you are looking for a simple gift, a special jewel, or something made 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 the collection well and genuinely enjoy talking about jewellery. We are pleased to welcome new customers, as well as 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.

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.
