About William May Jewellers

Established in 1825, William May Jewellers is part of an independent, family-run business with nearly two centuries of rich heritage. Our journey began as a department store offering a wide array of items, from everyday essentials to rare novelties, and we soon became known for our impressive collection of musical instruments. Over time, our business evolved, and we embraced a new venture, specializing in pawnbroking and fine jewellery. This transition marked a significant chapter in our history, as we became the first of our kind in the North West, eventually growing into the largest independent pawnbrokers in the region.

Today, William May Jewellers is synonymous with quality and reliability. We offer an extensive collection of new, pre-owned, and vintage jewellery that you won’t find in a typical high street store. Our collection includes luxury watches, heavy gold bracelets and necklaces, stone-set rings, and diamond engagement rings. Each piece is meticulously selected, ensuring the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality.

As a modern company with traditional values, we pride ourselves on delivering outstanding customer service. Whether you're looking for a timeless luxury watch, a statement piece of jewellery, or a unique accessory, our team is here to help you find the perfect item. Our in-house workshop allows us to offer expert alterations and repairs, ensuring that your jewellery is maintained with the utmost care.

At William May, we are passionate about jewellery and the history that each piece carries. We believe that jewellery is not just an accessory but a status symbol and a conversation starter. Our collection reflects this passion, offering pieces that are as unique as the individuals who wear them.
