Ainsworth Jewellers Celebrates 155 Years in Business

From its beginnings in 1870, the Blackburn-based independent jeweller has remained a cornerstone of the community and retail landscape.

Ainsworth Jewellers is celebrating 60 years at its Darwen Street premises marking a legacy that now spans 155 years in business and five generations of family dedication.

Since opening on Darwen Street in 1965, the business has grown to become a trusted name for exquisite jewellery, bespoke craftsmanship and exceptional client service.

Founded by Joseph Ainsworth, the business has evolved through generations adapting to change while staying true to traditional values of honesty, craftsmanship and care.

Today, under the leadership of fifth generation’s, Phil Ainsworth and his wife, Helen Dimmick, the jewellers continue to blend heritage with modern design and innovation, offering bespoke creations, valuations and a stunning collection of top brands; all delivered with the personal service that has defined Ainsworth Jewellers for over a century and a half.

Owner Phil Ainsworth said: “Reaching 60 years on Darwen Street feels both humbling and inspiring.

“We’ve seen generations of families come through our doors for engagements, anniversaries and celebrations. 

“Families have stayed with us for all the key moments in their lives which we are fiercely proud of.

“This milestone is about honouring their trust and renewing our commitment to Blackburn for the years ahead.”

To mark this milestone, the family-run jeweller is also launching a competition offering customers and the wider community the chance to win a three-stone round brilliant cut lab-grown diamond ring.

The piece features a 1.55ct centre diamond with two shoulder diamonds weighing 0.60ct each, all D Colour, VVS clarity, set in platinum and worth £2,400.

The bespoke ring has been specially created to celebrate 155 years of Ainsworth Jewellers and 60 years on Darwen Street.

Full competition details can be found on Ainsworth Jewellers’ website and social media channels.
