Testimonials
Maria Parker
"Today I was looking for 2 lockets. I am a foster carer and two of the girls I have looked after for a year are moving back home today, I wanted to get them a special piece of jewellery and thought a locket would be a great keepsake. The lovely lady who was helping me worked to my budget and really went above and beyond! Thank you so much"
Pete Gearing
"I cannot thank you enough, having been very nervous about leaving my late grandfathers ring with you to be duplicated so that I can wear it everyday I was immediately put at ease with my consult with Michael, collecting the rings (Old & New) today I am amazed to see the craftsmanship and skill in bringing a very tired worn ring almost back from the past. I'm absolutely over the moon. Thank you so much."
Lara Colaco
"I just picked up my wedding ring and just wanted to let Michael know how beautiful I think it is and how much it compliments my engagement. I love it's the same width, the diamonds start and end perfectly to match my engagement, and we can see how much thought and time he put into a difficult shaped ring. Even in the box the shape looks like a heart, which is lovely! Can you pass this on, and we look forward to seeing Jason's!"

Or we do have engagement rings available for immediate sale in our shop.

The length of time needed to make wedding rings for you depends on your requirements and what is actually needed. But as a very rough estimate you would be looking at approximately 10-12 weeks. However, this is a rough estimate and it could be quicker or longer. But we won’t know that until we have spoken to you in depth at a consultation and get a really clear understanding of what you would like.

Yes we do, we also refurbish antique jewellery. Please bring your item of jewellery into the shop so that a member of our staff team can have a look and tell you:
1) If that item can be safely repaired or refurbished
2) What we would need to do
3) If it needs to go to our workshop for a FREE estimate first
4) How much the repair would cost (if an estimate isn’t required first)
Most of our repairs take place at our workshop so you will be advised of a timescale when you bring your item of jewellery in. If you choose to go ahead with the repair you will be given a receipt and then contacted when it is ready for collection. This process is the same for watch repairs and watch servicing. However, watch batteries can be carried out while you wait unless your watch requires resealing to ensure its waterproof. As this is also carried out at our workshop.
All repairs and watch servicing are covered by guarantee. Please contact us further if you would like more information about this.
