The founder of a diamond and platinum specialising in bespoke one-off pieces has sold the business to his son.

Jonathan Stoner is the new owner of Phillip Stoner Jewellery after buying the company for an undisclosed sum in a deal project managed by Broadhead Peel Rhodes.

Jonathan, who joined the business as a 16-year-old apprentice, takes over 26 years after his father Phillip opened his first store in Shipley.

“As I look forward to retirement, I can rest easy knowing that the firm is in safe hands,” Phillip said. “Jonathan’s expertise, commitment and passion will take the business to new heights.”
