P & R Bushell were a family-run business. Philip, Minnie and Raymond started the business in 1970 manufacturing jewellery from their workshop on Regent Place, in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter.
P & R Bushell has two maker's marks both registered in 1976, although slightly different you can still identify any P & R Bushell jewellery by the prominent P&RB mark. They got their hallmark in February 1976 at the Birmingham Assay Office, which is also located in the Jewellery Quarter.
As a company who is located in the Jewellery Quarter, we can't not mention the history of this gorgeous industry hub full of history and character. For most of its history, the Jewellery Quarter was not accessible to the public. There were no jewellery shops until the late 1970s when the economic recession forced some of the manufacturers to open their doors to retail customers. Soon, other retailers moved into the area and in the 1980s, old buildings started to be restored rather than pulled down. Today the Jewellery Quarter is home to more than 700 jewellers and independent retailers and is one of Europe's largest concentration of manufacturing jewellers.
