Finnies the Jeweller, Aberdeen

Established in 1957, Finnies the Jeweller is a renowned family-owned business that has become a cornerstone of Aberdeen’s luxury jewelry scene. Founded by Ron and Peggy Finnie as a modest watch repair shop on Saint Nicholas Street, the business has flourished into a flagship store on George Street, boasting one of the most extensive and finely curated jewelry and watch collections in the region.

Finnies blends global luxury with local commitment, offering a wide range of unique designs alongside an impressive selection of branded jewelry. Their collection caters to various tastes and budgets, and they are proud to showcase exclusive, limited-edition timepieces from world-class watch brands, thanks to long-established relationships in the industry.

Three generations of the Finnie family now manage the business. Sarah Finnie leads the jewelry and diamond portfolio, while her brother Matthew oversees the watches, his lifelong passion. Continuing the family tradition, Sarah’s children, Dominique and Declan, bring their expertise as qualified gemmologists, further enhancing the Finnies' reputation for excellence.

Finnies' in-house workshop is the backbone of their craftsmanship, staffed by skilled goldsmiths, a watch technician, and a diamond setter. Whether creating new pieces or restoring antiques, their team guarantees the highest level of quality. Always staying ahead of trends, Finnies’ family and staff regularly attend international trade shows, bringing the latest innovations to their customers.

Though deeply rooted in the Aberdeen community, Finnies has embraced the digital age, engaging with customers worldwide through social media and e-commerce. The expansion of their flagship store in 2020 reflects their ongoing growth, and their close ties to local charities and Granite City’s development solidify their place as a beloved institution in Aberdeen.
