Furr & Co The Hungerford Jeweller

General information

Furr & Co. are goldsmiths, designers and jewellers in Berkshire. Their shop is in the attractive and historic smallmarket town of Hungerford to be found at the heart of the beautiful North Wessex Downs, on the crossroads of four counties – Hampshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire.

The company is owned by Greg and Rachel Furr – a goldsmith and a gemmologist. Greg studied at London’s Sir John Cass College and opened his first jewellery shop in Wokingham in the 1970′s. He came to Hungerford in 1995. His wife Rachel is a gemmologist and antique jewellery specialist who spent ten years with Bonhams in London.

Furr & Co’s No. 7 Bridge Street shop was purchased in 2005. The George III Grade II listed building took some six months to restore and Greg and Rachel opened the doors to their new shop in February 2006.

Furr & Co. differs somewhat from the average High Street jewellery shop – the Georgian interior is comfortably elegant and neo-classical style display cabinets in dark blue and gold leaf provide a sympathetic backdrop for the uncluttered displays of jewellery – nothing of the ‘chain’ here.

‘At Furr & Co. we look for three things in our jewellery – great design, fine craftsmanship and high quality materials. Many of the pieces are made in-house – we have excellent designers and goldsmiths on our staff and workshops on the premises. Other collections are sourced from British and European designers. Whether you are looking for a classic diamond engagement ring, or a piece of ultra-modern silver jewellery by Georg Jensen, we will be delighted to help. If you are seeking help with a small repair or advice on a major purchase or commission, you will always deal with one of the principals or a knowledgeable member of our staff. We believe in old-fashioned standards of courtesy and customer care.

Please treat our website as a show room, a virtual shop window which displays a small selection of our comprehensive stock. Contact us if you would like to know more, or even better, come and see us.

We look forward to welcoming you to Furr & Co..’ Rachel Furr
