From the very first day of opening in Tiptree, Cartouche has seen great success with many customers flowing through its doors. Perhaps the reason for this has been the wide diversity and well stocked shelves of this relatively small shop.

Being primarily a jewellers Cartouche can supply hand made jewellery of every type including rings, bracelets and pendants. Any item can be commissioned, from a single piece of simple design up to extensive suites of jewellery. Items can be made from your own ideas or personally designed for you. Cartouche specialise in engagement and wedding rings as well as eternity rings and all dress jewellery.

To compliment the jewellery trade Cartouche also stocks a huge range of gifts and houseware. From crystal and glassware to pewter and bronze. As well as this there is a huge choice of good quality unusual giftware, some of which is imported from around the globe and stocked here in sleepy Tiptree. Every purchase made in Cartouche is gift wrapped in a style dependant on the occasion, no matter how small the purchase.

The owners consider Cartouche to be a unique concept being suppliers of jewellery, hand makers of commissioned pieces and specialists in the repair and refashioning of jewellery as well as engravers on many materials including glass.

Because of the diversity, the store attracts visitors from as far away as Cornwall to Peterborough as well as regular customers from Colchester and Chelmsford.
