Ogden of Harrogate Jewellery
The Ogden family have been stewards of their distinguished jewellery business since 1893, serving the families of Yorkshire as well as generations of both royal and public figures.
The company is now run by the fifth generation of the family: Ben Ogden FGA and Robert Ogden. Following the opening of Ogden’s York in the shadow of the famous Minster, the business now occupies three beautiful sites.
History
In 1893 James Roberts Ogden opened what was to become one of the most renowned jewellers in England. The beautiful Edwardian shop front and showrooms still retain many of the original Edwardian fixtures and fittings. “James Roberts Ogden in particular was blessed with
personality which appears to have captured all with whom he came into contact with. Described by many as electric, captivating, or magnetic.”
