Exciting Expansion For Tunbridge Wells Jeweller

Walsh Bros Unveils Walsh at George Farrer: A New Chapter for a Historic Jeweller.



This month saw the highly anticipated opening of Walsh at George Farrer, bringing a new chapter to this long-standing Tunbridge Wells gem. Located at 19 High Street in a stunning Grade II listed building, this expansion by Walsh Bros blends timeless heritage with modern craftsmanship.

This exciting venture builds on the vision of Richard Burrow, a Tonbridge native who began his jewellery career in 1986 with F. Hinds before gaining experience in various independent jewellers. In 2003, Richard took over the ownership of Walsh Bros Jewellers on Mount Pleasant Road and is renowned for its exceptional customer service offering antique and modern jewellery, high-quality repairs and bespoke, handmade jewellery – now also available at the iconic George Farrer location.

Expertise Meets History

Renowned for its exquisite jewellery and unparalleled expertise, Walsh Bros proudly brings its legacy to the iconic George Farrer Jewellers, a historic site established in 1876. Honouring the legacy of George Farrer, Walsh Bros has reinstated his name in its trading identity, while carefully preserving the building’s ornate frontage and period interiors.

Leadership with Vision

Heading up this exciting venture is Alexia Taylor, a long-standing member of the Walsh Bros team with over 12 years of dedication to the craft. Alexia’s credentials are exemplary: she is a Fellow of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain (FGA), a Diamond Diploma holder (DGA), and a Gemological Institute of America (GIA) Applied Jewellery Professional. Earlier this year, Alexia also took the esteemed role of Chair of the National Association of Jewellers’ Professional and Technical Standards Group.

A Rare Gem in Jewellery Services

Walsh at George Farrer’s introduces a rare offering: an exclusive in-house jewellery valuation service, led by Alexia, who is also a Member of the Institute of Registered Valuers (MIRV). This service is only available at a few jewellers in the UK so this honour enhances the store’s reputation as a destination for those seeking expert guidance and craftsmanship.

Preserving Heritage, Embracing Excellence

Walsh Bros’ commitment to preserving the legacy of George Farrer ensures that the historic charm of this beloved site will continue to shine. With both Alexia Taylor and Richard Burrow’s expertise, customers can expect an unparalleled experience of fine jewellery, valuations, and exceptional service.

Discover Walsh at George Farrer today – a celebration of timeless elegance, expert craftsmanship, and a rich heritage reborn.
