About us

Fitzgerald Jewellers is a Canterbury based jewellers situated along the cobbled streets just a stone’s throw away from Canterbury Cathedral.

Owner and founder of Fitzgerald Jewellers, Trevor Fitzgerald has been a jeweller since the seventies. It wasn’t until early 2000 that he opened our Burgate store but it really has gone from strength to strength. Opening their newly expanded shop and workshop in December 2021, their shopping experience is unlike any other.

For Fitzgerald’s, jewellery isn’t just about trends. They carefully design all of their bespoke jewellery in house and hand make it on site in their state of the art workshop. Their Goldsmiths continue to use traditional methods of jewellery making.

The brands we present in store are not necessarily based on a style but the story behind them. We choose brands based on their narrative and the designers. The collections have been carefully curated to appeal to our customers. We have a small but passionate team who love their job so every day is such a joy.

We like to think the Fitzgerald experience is unlike any other jewellers in Kent. We have strived to set ourselves apart with our unique interior and laid back approach. Buying jewellery is such a personal thing and even that one piece can signify such a huge part of someone’s life.

We are always so honoured every day to be a part of something so special.
