Southsea jewellers Goulds Badger & Fox set for grand reopening after six decades of craftmanship
The family-run jewellers reopens today
Goulds Badger & Fox Jewellers will reopen on September 1 under the ownership of Kerry Boden, who started her journey as a jewellery maker as an apprentice of the previous owner when she was just 17.
The business was founded in North End in 1963 as Goulds Jewellers by Bob Gould. It was run as a family business, being passed down from Bob to his sons, Laurie and Glenn, who employed Kerry as an apprentice.
The business is reopening under the name Goulds Badger & Fox Jewellers, selling bespoke items and offering expert repairs.
The premises on Highland Road will also host other small businesses, including Across the Courtyard jewellery designs and artist Craig Everett, creating a hub for creativity and collaboration in Southsea.
