Mcgowans Jewellers

D is for... dispersion.
Have you ever noticed your jewels really sparkling or showing some colours? This is known as dispersion. It happens when white light enter a diamond and separates all the spectral colours of the rainbow and bounces back to our eyes in a display of coloured light 🌈

We love this beautiful vintage emerald and diamond engagement ring. Just look at those deep green tones 💚

Following on from our recent blog about the history of jewellery, we are continuing our series looking back at the jewellery from the early to mid 20th century :https://www.mcgowansjewellers.com/jewell ery-through-the-de…/

That's one way to glam up the conference calls 😉

Now that's a throwback - the front of our store in 1982. Did you know that McGowans was founded in 1895? Throughout the years we have cemented our reputation as one of Scotland’s most trustworthy family run jewellers 😊

With the current COVID-19 crisis ongoing across the world, we have all become more mindful our hygiene and in particular, hand washing. So, how do you protect your rings and precious jewellery whilst doing so? Find out more on our blog here: https://www.mcgowansjewellers.com/hand-hy giene-and-jewelle…/

Caring for your jewellery is important to make sure it not only stays clean, but also maintains its brilliant sparkle and shine all year round! ✨ Every gemstone has different properties, and each deserves its own unique care and attention. Different cleaning methods apply to each gem stone, and there are some things you should avoid for certain stones too. 💎

A notice to our customers.
Our priority will always be the health and wellbeing of our staff and customers across our three stores in Aberdeen and Glasgow. After the recent challenges, we have come to the decision that it is within our staff and customers best interest and safety that our stores close temporarily for the foreseeable until it is safe to re-open.
It has been a difficult decision for us to make, however we know it is the most responsible action to take at this... point in time.
We would like to thank all of our valued customers from the bottom of our hearts for all of your continued support and kindness. We hope you will visit us in store again once things have returned to normal. For the time being, you can view a selection of our stock online at www.mcgowansjewellers.com. Please keep an eye on our website and social media channels for further updates.
Thank you again and stay safe 💙 The McGowans Team.
