About Fraser Hart

Fraser Hart is a British jeweller selling engagement rings, diamond jewellery and Swiss watches through its shops and online, so a Fraser Hart discount code usually accompanies a considered decision rather than an impulse buy. The chain sold part of its estate to Beaverbrooks and the Watches of Switzerland Group in 2019 and continues under the Anthony Nicholas Group with a smaller store list and click and collect across it.

Authorised dealer status is what the warranty rests on

Swiss watch brands supply only appointed retailers, and the maker's guarantee is activated by that retailer at the sale. A watch bought outside that network can be genuine and still carry no valid warranty, and servicing a mechanical movement is not a small bill. Check the brand is listed as stocked, and keep the stamped card or digital warranty with the receipt.

Reading a diamond without taking anyone's word

Larger diamonds usually come with an independent grading report from a laboratory such as GIA or IGI, covering carat, colour, clarity and cut. Cut decides how a stone looks and is the grade shoppers skip. Ask which laboratory graded it, since standards differ between them, and treat a report from the seller's own bench as a different thing from an independent one.

Hallmarks and what they tell you

Gold, silver and platinum sold in the UK above set weights must carry a hallmark struck by an assay office, recording the metal, its fineness, the sponsor and the office. It is a legal mark rather than a marketing one, which makes it the quickest way to confirm what a piece is made of, and it is worth finding before you buy.

Sizing, resizing and engraving

A ring can usually move a size or two, but full eternity rings, tension settings and some patterned bands cannot be resized at all. Fingers change with temperature and time of day, so size in the afternoon, in a warm room. Engraving is final and normally ends the right to return the piece.

Using a Fraser Hart discount code

Enter the code in the basket and check the total before paying. Swiss watches are routinely excluded from any discount because the brand controls pricing, and codes rarely apply to bespoke work, repairs or gift cards. If you are buying in store, ask beforehand whether an online code can be honoured, because the two channels are not always run on the same terms.
