Re: Signet Jewelers Limited

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
We were previously principal accountants for Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet”) and, under the date of March 29, 2011, we reported on the consolidated financial statements of Signet as of January 29, 2011 and January 30, 2010 and for the 52-week periods ended January 29, 2011, January 30, 2010 and January 31, 2009, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2011.
 
On March 28 2011, Signet agreed to engage KPMG LLP as its principal accountant for the 52-week period ended January 28, 2012 and that the auditor-client relationship with KPMG Audit Plc will cease effective May 1, 2011.  On May 1, 2011, the auditor-client relationship ceased.
 
We have read Signet’s statements included under Item 4.01 of its Form 8-K dated May 4, 2011, and we agree with such statements.
 
Yours faithfully
