Austen & Blake opens at Highcross

Luxury jeweller, Austen & Blake, has officially opened its doors at Highcross Leicester.

Founded on craftsmanship and innovation, Austen & Blake is known for its beautifully designed, customisable and made-to-order jewellery, including a wide selection of engagement rings and diamond pieces.

Customers visiting Highcross will be able to work with jewellery experts in a relaxed, counter-free environment, where designs can be personalised by precious metal and diamond specifications (carat, cut, colour and clarity), before being handcrafted in Austen & Blake’s workshop.

With stores across the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the UAE, Austen & Blake’s arrival at Highcross reflects the jeweller’s continuing success story and ambition for growth.

The brand will join other existing and established names, such as Ernest Jones, Goldsmiths, Breitling and Beaverbrooks.
