Leap into Love: Spotlighting Caterham Valley’s Jewellers
Tradition has it, that every four years, on 29 February, women can ‘break tradition’ and propose to their partners, to ask for their hand in marriage. So, in light of this tradition, we caught up with our three fabulous jewellers in Caterham to find out a bit more about their businesses and the services they offer to the local community.

I am the third generation of Brownes, and from the first day of opening over 100 years ago we have been selling and making jewellery to the very best of British design and manufacture, using sustainable products and all of our stones are conflict free. Over the years we have seen a many fashion trends and new ways of design, which has culminated in such an exciting melting pot where simply embracing design to a whole new world. With being a longstanding family business, we have gradually grown with the times and have a great variety of stock from simple silver jewellery, to the most precious of items including diamond, precious and semi-precious stones.
