Bournemouth Echo: Amy Brenan has been working with antique jewellery for the past 20 years

Amy Brenan - Heirlooms Jewellers

I have been working with antique jewellery for the past 20 years, in both the auction world and in retail, affording me a great depth of knowledge of all aspects of the jewellery trade.

For me it is a life-long passion that I am lucky enough to call my job! My shop Heirlooms Jewellers has become one of the South West’s leading destinations for Antique and Vintage jewellery.

As a qualified jewellery valuer with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, I can offer the highest level of expertise to my clients.

Every experience in my shop is a memorable one: We love explaining the history of each piece to our customers and watching its story continue with its new owner.
