Chapelle Jewellery Newsletter

Chapelle Jewellery & Watches was founded in 1979 by husband and wife Paul and Margaret Mortimer as a family business based in Nottingham. For over three decades the brand built a reputation for making luxury jewellery accessible, operating on a simple principle: everything sold at a minimum of 30% off the RRP. In 2019 the business was acquired by national jeweller F.Hinds – a family firm with over 150 years of experience – bringing greater buying power while keeping the Chapelle name and its outlet-centre presence across England and Wales. Today Chapelle operates in more than a dozen locations, each stocking an extensive range of fine jewellery and watches.

Jewellery for Every Occasion

Chapelle's jewellery range covers the full spectrum from everyday wear to landmark gifts. Collections include diamond earrings, sapphire and gemstone necklaces, white gold pendants, engagement rings, wedding bands, bangles, brooches, anklets, and statement rings. Pieces are available in gold, silver, and platinum, making it straightforward to find something suitable whether the occasion is a birthday, anniversary, or personal treat.

Watches from Leading Brands

Alongside its jewellery, Chapelle carries one of the wider watch selections available in UK outlet retail. The range spans over 150 brands including:

• Citizen and Seiko – trusted Japanese watchmakers with extensive dress and sport ranges
• Fossil, Michael Kors, and Cluse – fashion-led designs popular as gifts
• Radley and Barbour – British lifestyle brands with distinctive styling
• Rotary and Casio – classic and digital options at accessible price points

In-Store Services

Chapelle outlets offer practical services alongside retail. These include ear piercing, jewellery repair, watch servicing, and a gold recycling scheme. Expert staff are on hand to provide guidance on ring sizing, metal types, gemstone choices, and brand selection – useful when purchasing an engagement ring or a significant gift.

Value and the 30% Guarantee

A consistent feature of the Chapelle offer is the commitment to pricing everything at a minimum of 30% below the manufacturer's recommended retail price, maintained year-round rather than restricted to sale periods. This approach, strengthened after the F.Hinds acquisition, reflects the combined buying power of two established jewellery businesses and is central to the Chapelle brand identity.
