Other wise we both can and at times do everything within the business.

Thomas's jewellers, Skipton.

36 Sheep Street, Skipton, North Yorkshire

The business was formed in 1976 and opened in 1977, the year of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee. We opened as "The Silver Jewellery Shop", on Otley Street in Skipton, selling -yes you've guessed it- Silver Jewellery. One third of our stock then was from Georg Jensen, and we have maintained a strong bond with the Danish design company ever since. 

With the increase in stock of gold jewellery, and watches we re-branded ourselves as Thomas's { 's as we are possessive and plural} by 1979, not realising that the internet would shun the apostrophe! 

Thomas's Staff

We have a small and dedicated team, dedicated to giving you the benefits of our group buying, and our excellent training. To read about them follow the link.

We are members of  The National Association of Goldsmiths the jewellers trade organisation.

We buy very competitively, as you can see from our prices, this is because Thomas's are members of  Jewellers of Excellence,  Britain's exclusive and premier jewellery and watch wholesale buying co-operative.  Representing 35 jewellers throughout Great Britain and Ireland. We are known in the jewellery trade world-wide as  The Houlden Group .  The combined retail turnover of the group has recently been estimated as well in excess of £155,000,000, though I hasten to say we are the tiddlers. Each member has access to the suppliers on equal terms, and those terms had better be the best in the world or our chairman will be wanting to know.

Thomas's are members of Skipton Chamber of Trade and Commerce .
