Simply Jewellery

"Repair took longer than expected and I had to chase to check on progress. Necklace then fell apart again the minute I took it out the bag when I got it home, and he was conveniently away and closed for the next two weeks so no way to fix it. This plus the reviews below, I’d avoid, whole thing felt dodgy."

"Very impressive repair, I couldn’t see where the repair had been done , l had other jewellers view the job and where very reluctantly to do the repair because it was a custom made chain , very experienced and honest and price was right."

"He really took advantage of the fact it was my wedding ring and it means a lot to me. Tried to give back the ring after doing nothing to it the first time/Original quote tripled by the time I picked it up/NO communication - I was constantly phoning to see when it would be done/the whole process took 6 weeks. My advise? Go to HM Samuel etc - I’ve tried 2 small business jewellers in north London now only to be extremely disappointed."

"This guy is dishonest. Simple as that. He quoted us a very good price of £35 for a simple resizing of a ring. During this conversation he mentioned how other jewellers were crooks and didn't do a good job. However, it took three weeks (he said it would take one) for him to do the first resizing, only for us to discover he hadn't even done it and the ring was still the same size it was. He somehow blamed someone else but took the ring back. We then couldn't get hold of him for another three weeks until he finally said it was ready. The ring was now the desired size, but he said we now had to pay £105 because it was a more difficult job. He didn't tell us or ask before he did it, just got on with it and expected us to pay. We didn't pay the new price! By the time we'd finished he just wanted us out of this shop - we were very annoyed with him. Six weeks for a basic job. He's as dodgy as the rest of them. Other reviews on Yell have said the same thing. Don't believe the other reviews on Google."

"We've visited this shop many times over the years - always a friendly welcome, efficient service and reasonable prices. But what I appreciate most of all is the fact that the owner never tries to just make a sale - instead he endeavours to ensure you leave with the most appropriate solution to your problem, rather than the one that is most profitable for him."
