Service and Repairs
The workshop has always been at the heart of Hugh Rice the Jewellers. In fact, we were initially established in 1971 as a clock and watch repairers by founder Hugh, after he trained at the department store Carmichael’s. And when his brother Mike joined him in 1974 as an apprentice jeweller, both jewellery and watch services became part of our heritage.
We continue to provide an abundance of services for jewellery and watches from the Service and Design department in our Hull store. The care they provide unrivalled; operated by consummate professionals, our in-house jewellers and watch technicians are eager to share their expertise.

Bespoke
Designed by you.
Made by Hugh Rice.
Bespoke designs are a real passion for our Service and Design teams. For four decades we’ve produced unique and personal pieces from brand new exclusive designs to reworked family heirlooms and re-imagined sentimental pieces.
To ensure the highest quality craftsmanship, we’ve recently invested in state-of-the-art design software to help bring your jewellery vision to life. No notion is too ambitious for our team and we relish the challenge of any creation. With a Service and Design Centre in our St Stephens store, we’re ready to create the jewellery of your dreams in your personal bespoke journey.
The journey starts with design. Join our designers for a free consultation; sit down and let them realise your thoughts on paper in a hand-drawn sketch.
Next, we create. Leave your design with us and we’ll build a 3D model using in-house computer design software, tweaking every last detail to your liking.
Then, we model. Your design is brought to life as a wax model. See and feel your creation, and with your approval we can finalise the design.
From there, we cast. Your 3D design is cast in the metal of your choosing and delivered to us ready for finishing.
Finally, we finish. Stones are set and metal is polished as our jeweller’s hand-finish and quality-check your design in our on-site workshop.
