Harrogate jewellers Fogal & Barnes will move into a new shop on Cambridge Street next month.
The luxury retailer will relocate from its current location on Oxford Street, where it has been for the past 10 months after initially launching online.
It will move into a unit between Marks & Spencer and Card Factory on Cambridge Street in about three weeks, after shopfitting is complete.
Richard Norman, who co-owns the business with his wife Mona, said the new shop was a better size and location. He added:
"We need to be in a prime location.
"It also gives us the opportunity to hire more people and we're looking for one full time and one part-time staff member."

In July, Ms Norman was left terrified when specialist police officers took over her shop as part of a VIP training exercise. One officer, wearing a bulletproof vest, blocked the door.
She had not been forewarned about the visit and feared she was going to be robbed.
Durham Constabulary apologised, saying the officers should have identified themselves.
