Walter Bull & Son

Walter Bull & Son traces its history to a London jewellery and pawnbroking business established in 1815. Walter Bull himself was born later and eventually purchased that business, so the date should not be read as his personal founding year. John and Jean Gegg brought the firm to Cirencester in 1965. Today the shop is at 10 Dyer Street, with James Gegg continuing the family connection. Its range includes modern jewellery as well as antique and pre-owned pieces. The merchant says pre-owned jewellery is checked in its on-site workshop. The individual listing reflects its condition and any limitations. That makes the description of a particular ring or brooch more useful than assuming all older pieces have identical condition. Workshop services include repairs and restoration, with remodelling available for a piece that no longer suits its owner. Customers can discuss sizing in the shop before committing to work. The local workshop does not establish a British manufacturing origin for every antique or resale item in the catalogue.
