Phillip Stoner the Jeweller, a prominent diamond and platinum specialist in the North,
has launched a new flagship store in Manchester’s luxury shopping quarter, The Avenue,
Spinningfields. The shop, which opened in December, 2010, brings new designs not seen anywhere
else in the city.
The store was four months in planning, designing and fitting and the finished result is a
beautiful, contemporary boutique store with a fresh and welcoming feel. The company’s interior
design team took inspiration from the finest jewellers in London’s Bond Street and has achieved a
lifestyle designed store which is a great space for displaying jewellery.
“We were approached to open a store on The Avenue as the management company wanted a
boutique jeweller which would sit amongst high profile luxury brands such as Mulberry, Armani
and Nicky Clarke,” says managing director, Jonathan Stoner. “Our current business is going strong,
despite the difficult trading times, and we decided to seize the opportunity to be amongst such
prestigious international brands.”
