A new jewellery store is to open in Ashford's County Square shopping centre.

Iconic Jewellery, which already has two sites in Kent, is taking the former Carphone Warehouse unit in the mall's main square.

It currently has its flagship store in Canterbury city centre, with a second 'super-sized' unit at the Westwood Cross shopping centre in Broadstairs.

The chain offers products from a range of brands including Bjorg, Calvin Klein, and Annie Haak.

Shoppers will be able to choose from earrings, necklaces, watches, bracelets and charms, as well as engagement rings, for which bosses say there is a customisation service available.

"We pride ourselves on offering 'something for everyone' with our specially chosen jewellery and watch brands to suit all styles and budgets," they said.

The shop will open this month, but a precise date is not yet known.

As revealed by KentOnline in October, the whole County Square site is currently on the market for £13.5m – less than 10 years after it was last sold.

The 1975-built mall, which was previously known as the Tufton Centre, has room for 70 stores, making up 360,106 sq ft of retail space.

It was bought by international investment firm Kennedy Wilson in 2013 and is currently managed by Savills UK Ltd.
