Holts Jewellery was founded in 2013 by Melissa Holt, a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience in the antique jewellery industry. Our expertise lies in curating exceptional vintage and antique engagement rings and wedding bands, each hand-selected for its unique history and craftsmanship. Melissa's career began at 18 in her grandfather's traditional jewellery shop, where she developed an eye for quality and rarity. This foundational experience, combined with her Gemmological Association of Great Britain Diamond Grading Diploma, ensures our clients receive expert guidance. We operate from a Georgian townhouse showroom in Bath, offering private appointments and bespoke commission services.Our commitment to quality is reflected in our extensive collection of Art Deco, Victorian, and Edwardian pieces, alongside modern designs inspired by historical eras. We provide educational resources on ring sizing, metal care, and diamond grading to empower informed decisions. Our online platform extends our reach globally, while maintaining the personal touch of in-person consultations. Sustainability is central to our practice, with all Celeste Diamonds created using renewable solar energy. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment where clients can explore our collections at their leisure, supported by Melissa's deep industry knowledge and passion for storytelling through jewellery.
