Drakes Fine Jewellers is a family business founded in 1950 by the late Harry Hirshman, and has made various moves around the city of Plymouth during its post war reconstruction, ensuring we always traded from a strong retail position.
As a high quality, forward thinking, progressive jewellers; we specialise in diamond and precious stone jewellery, engagement and wedding rings, together with modern and traditional gold jewellery supplied by some of the leading manufacturers from around the world.
This is linked to our own workshop’s ability to design and produce exclusive and individual styles of rings or jewellery to suit all tastes.
Harry’s son John came into the business in 1954, taking over the reigns and becoming Managing Director in 1975 upon Harry’s retirement.
John’s children have both joined the company, daughter Monique in 1984 and son Andrew in 1992, and now that John has started to “ease back” a little, they are very much the driving force in taking the business forward.
Our company has a very strong client base in Plymouth and the West Country in general, and this together with “Hands on “ Directors and loyal, long-standing dedicated staff, has enabled us to maintain a very high standard of service and personal contact with all of our customers.
