Rooted in Family Heritage

In 1988, husband and wife, William and Julia Shaw founded a business that ignited a heartfelt commitment to unwavering quality- a promise they hold dear to this day. What blossomed from a creative jeweller duo in the late eighties has grown into a family legacy, synonymous with excellence, creativity and craftsmanship.

WJ Shaw is more than a jewellery store. It's a cherished part of our family's history. Small yet mighty, steeped in tradition but with a modern outlook and driven by our desire to deliver perfection for our clients.  

Your experience means the world to us, whether you're drawn to an affordable designer piece, or dreaming up a custom creation.

Family

We’re more than a business, we’re a close-knit family. Since the 1980’s, William and Julia have poured everything into WJ Shaw, shaping something truly special. William's eye for detail and years of experience breathe life into every bespoke design, while Julia's skillful hand-carved wax models turn dreams into reality. Their daughter Heather's love for jewellery sparked early on. As a qualified Gemmologist and Diamond Grader, she is now Managing Director and carries our family legacy forward into its second generation. Together, we embody hard work, dedication, and craftsmanship, spanning over four decades of creating cherished pieces for our customers.
