About Catherine Bishop

Catherine Bishop…We are an independent jeweller based in the heart of Barnstaple, we have been trading in this beautiful North Devon town for 11 years. We are just a small business based in Boutport Street where we work together as a team of ten members. Catherine herself has over 20 years of experience with jewellery and personally specialises in valuations.

Here at Catherine Bishop we work with many different metals, precious and semi-precious stones and sell a wide range of different products; we try to stock contemporary, interesting designers but also stock your everyday traditional designs. We have our very own workshop within our premises and an on-site jeweller so we also hand make many of pieces that are available to purchase in the shop. If you come to us and we have not got what you are looking for then please do ask as with our range of great suppliers and our on-site workshop then we will try our very best to help you.

James – our in-house jeweller and designer. James often works closely with customer to create that extra special design whether that is starting from the beginning with new metal and stones, or re-designing and older piece of jewellery to a more practical and modern design.
Within the workshop we also do repairs, alterations and sizing where possible, so if you have something that needs fixing or a bit of attention than just pop it into us and hopefully we will be able to repair it for you!

Another thing that we are well known for here at Catherine Bishop is our wedding rings. We hand make the majority of our wedding rings, this means that we can be very flexible with designs and try our best to be able to create your perfect ring.
We are especially recognised for making fitted wedding bands. Again we hand make them on sight, firstly we make a silver for you to approve then we follow on to make in the correct metal. Often with modern designed engagement rings you can’t find a wedding band to sit up flush next to it so come to us and we will be able to make a ring to sit just perfectly!
