Purdeys have a lifetime passion for fine jewellery and precision watches.
Purdeys Jewellers Shepparton opened in Wyndham Street in May 1969, with Frank Purdey and son in law Stewart Lynas, at the helm. Mr Purdey, who began his career in the trade as a watchmaker in 1929, retired in 1972.
Stewart graduated as a qualified Gemmologist and registered valuer and went on to establish a 2ndand 3rdstore in Victoria, and coastal NSW. In 1994, history repeated itself, with son in law Michael Kearney joining the family business and establishing Purdeys Benalla store. Stewart and Michael’s wives, Pam and Jo, are very active in the selection and creation of Purdeys fine jewellery. Today Stewart continues on, in a consultative capacity with Michael, an internationally qualified Diamond grader, now in charge of the operation.
In almost half a century Purdeys has earnt itself a reputation as a trusted local jeweller, well qualified to meet the many needs of it’s customers. Purdeys is renowned for its expertise in creative design styles which they combine to create an outstanding international selection of “beautiful Jewellery” and fine watches.
