ct is a friendly boutique, just outside Chester's city walls, showcasing handmade goods from talented designers working in Britain. Here you will find unusual gifts not seen on the highstreet, that are sure to delight your loved ones.

We feature collections of jewellery in many different materials, unique bridal tiaras, gorgeous silk scarves and evening bags, beautiful studio glass, unusual ceramics and handmade greetings cards all made by leading designer craftsmen, with the majority working in individual studios in Britain. We pride ourselves on finding beautiful pieces that are NOT produced for the mass market. Many of our pieces can now be bought online, but come instore to see a larger selection.

People often ask why our shop is named 'ct'. The name comes from the initials used to denote carats of gold or diamonds e.g 18ct gold, 1ct diamond. It also happens to be the initials of in-house designer maker Claire Troughton.

ct specialises in modern design-led jewellery and supplies elegant pieces for men and women in silver, gold, platinum, diamonds, titanium and a host of other unusual materials.

Award-winning jewellery designer and maker Claire Troughton creates her pieces on the premises and can work with you to create individual commissions, including wedding and engagement rings.

To compliment this we also stock a selection of tiaras which can be customised to fit your wedding colour scheme, bridal party cufflinks, favour boxes and unique bridesmaid and pageboy gifts.

Opening hours: Tue-Thurs 10.30am-5.30pm, Fri 10.30am-5.00pm, Sat 9.30am-5.00pm.
