Alex and Lorraine were fantastic
Alex and Lorraine, at Howells, were simply fantastic.
The guidance, support (patience!) and knowledge that they provided me with ensured that I found the right engagement ring for my fiancé.
I had a rough time period and ring type in mind for the antique ring that I wanted; I could not possibly of sourced a piece so wonderfully on brief without the expertise of Alex and Lorraine.
I highly recommend Howells jewellery. Fantastic pieces, better customer service.

What a brilliant purchasing experience
What a brilliant purchasing experience. Item arrived promptly, even better than I imagined. Assistance and communication throughout the purchasing process went well above and beyond! I was purchasing something special for a wedding - owners set up several mock up pics for me so I could get an idea of what the brooch would look like when placed on jacket. Best experience! A+! So grateful! Thank you!

Safe and easy
This was the first time I have bought what I consider to be quite expensive jewellery online, so I was nervous. However, Lorraine put my mind at rest (informing me of their returns policy etc) and I purchased a pair of lovely earrings. Everything arrived as promised and I am very pleased with them. The transaction was altogether easy and Lorraine very helpful. So all good!

Brilliant Service By Brilliant Lorraine
Browsing the collection and talking over the phone i knew i could trust Howell 1870. Lorraine looked after me through the whole process of a simple and easy transaction. I Found the ring of my dreams for a dreamy very reasonable price. Weighted in history and beauty. The expertise, quality of service and photos/video shots of the jewellery are second to none. I am looking forward to my trip to Lancashire after lockdown to have a good browse of more rubies.
