We're delighted to announce that we were named Jewellery/Watch Department of the Year at the 2005 UK Jewellery Awards. The awards are organised by Retail Jeweller magazine, the leading watch and jewellery publication for retailers, designers and industry experts. Beating other finalists for this category, including Freedom at Topshop and World Duty Free, we were chosen as the winners by a hand-picked panel of expert judges from across many areas of the industry. This is the third UK Jewellery Award we've won – we were named Jewellery Retailer of the Year in 2000 and Alternative Jewellery Retailer of the Year in 2003.

Here's what the judges had to say about us: "Through its brilliant programming, QVC has nurtured a generation of jewellery enthusiasts... The channel offers one of the widest spectrums of fashionable jewellery and watch product, and it is constantly being updated.42-17623423.jpg Jenni Middleton, Editor of Retail Jeweller magazine, commented: "Whatever occasion you are buying for, QVC has something for every woman's wardrobe – from fine jewellery to the latest fashions."
