Pleasance & Harper: Herefordshire’s County Jeweller Since 1879
About Pleasance & Harper
Some jewellers earn trust over years; Pleasance & Harper has earned it over generations. Founded in 1879 in Wine Street, Bristol, and formed into the company we know today in 1919 when founder Mr Harper’s three sons joined the business, this proudly independent family firm has been trading continuously for over 140 years — with fourth-generation Mark Harper now at the helm as chairman.
Home since 1936 has been 54 Broad Street in the heart of Hereford, where Pleasance & Harper has established itself as Herefordshire’s leading county jeweller. The collections span diamond engagement rings, wedding and eternity rings, and fine jewellery from some of Britain’s and Europe’s best-loved names — Clogau’s rare Welsh gold, Danish design house Georg Jensen, Devon silversmiths Kit Heath and whimsical British designer Alex Monroe — alongside the shop’s own 1879 Collection.
What keeps customers coming back is old-fashioned service with modern convenience: expert jewellery repairs and valuations, a bespoke wedding ring service, part exchange, a gold-buying service, 0% finance and free next-day UK delivery on orders over £100. For anyone in the Marches — or shopping online anywhere in Britain — it’s the rare independent that combines beautiful jewellery with genuine, personal family service.
