30 Years of Craftsmanship: Chichester Jeweller Marks Milestone

18 Mar 2026

This April, Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery in Chichester celebrates 30 years of creating bespoke jewellery, diamond rings, and handcrafted gold pieces for customers across West Sussex and beyond.

Founder Tim Roe, born and raised in Chichester, grew up surrounded by creativity — his father was a photographer, painter and wood carver, while his mother worked as a nurse. Studying art at Worthing Art College, Tim discovered a passion for design that would shape his career.

Tim says,

“I’ve always loved Jewellery, there’s something incredibly special about creating pieces that mark important moments in people’s lives.”

After gaining early workshop experience locally, Tim launched his own business in 1995, opening the Timothy Roe shop in 1997. Over three decades, the business has grown into a skilled team of 16, embracing traditional craftsmanship alongside CAD design and 3D printing.

He adds,

“Keeping this craft alive is what inspires and drives me, being able to show customers our workshop is something I’m proud of, and I hope it inspires the next generation.”

To celebrate 30 years, the business will host a week of anniversary events starting 12th April, with giveaways, exclusive offers and in-store surprises throughout the month. Highlights include a “30 Gifts for 30 Years” giveaway on 16th April for the first 30 visitors, a prize wheel for customers visiting the store, a 30% discount on a different iconic piece each week, and a “Find the Diamond” competition running until September where one lucky participant could win a diamond and have it set into jewellery by Christmas.

Customers can follow on Instagram or sign up to the newsletter for first notice of all celebrations.

Reflecting on the journey, Tim says,

“If I had the chance to start all over again, I’d do it 100%. I’ve loved every minute of it.”

“Keeping this craft alive is what inspires and drives me. It’s at the heart of everything we do. Being able to show customers our workshop and how jewellery is made is something I’m really proud of, and I hope it inspires the next generation. If I had the chance to start all over again, I’d do it 100% — I’ve loved every minute of it.”
