Sponsors - Picketts & Pursers

Established in 1850 by Thomas Pickett, Picketts & Pursers are understandably proud of a splendid and truly unique trading heritage as one of Hampshire’s longest established family firms of jewellers, goldsmiths, silversmiths, watchmakers and fine china & glassware retailers.

Established in 1850 by Thomas Pickett, Picketts & Pursers are understandably proud of a splendid and truly unique trading heritage as one of Hampshire’s longest established family firms of jewellers, goldsmiths, silversmiths, watchmakers and fine china & glassware retailers.

Looking back, it is extraordinary to recall this is a business whose continuous and unbroken trading has spanned three centuries, seven monarchs and fifty one prime ministers. Perhaps even more remarkably five generations of the same family have proudly presided over this historic institution for over 174 years.

In some ways little has changed in well over a century and a half of trading, whether simply having a new watch battery fitted or selecting from our finest diamonds, you may be assured of the same warm and friendly welcome, thus ensuring the high standards set by Thomas Pickett 174 years ago continue to be maintained.

Our newly enlarged in-house workshop has the latest equipment to undertake any jewellery repair and our goldsmiths and diamond setter undertake remodelling and new bespoke commissions with a design service to help create the perfect heirloom of the future.

Our valuation department with two registered National Association of Jewellery valuers can undertake valuations for insurance, probate and sale between parties.

Picketts & Pursers put huge emphasis on investing to ensure that their 23 members of staff undergo sufficient training to offer the highest levels of customer service. All the sales team have trade qualifications with either jewellery or gemmology diplomas with some qualified with higher management distinctions.

Our success has enabled Picketts & Pursers to sponsor and support local charities, sports clubs, schools and community events, believing it important to put something back into society and we are delighted to sponsor the 1st tee at Corhampton Golf Club.

Tucked away in the heart of the beautiful Hampshire countryside, the Petersfield branch is wonderfully located in a prime position at the head of Rams Walk.
