Disillusioned customer

While on a trip to London for my Birthday in March I went into the Covent Garden store and was greeted by a lovely lady called Patrica. I treated myself to a watch I’d had my eye on for months.
Within 5 weeks it had stopped working, I contacted customer services who guided me to the Swico aftercare service.
I sent my watch away and within 10 days it was back, fitted with a new battery.
However….the day after receiving my watch back I noticed it had stopped working. I reset the time and it started ticking away. This happened 2 more times. Yesterday I contacted customer service who once again have advised I register my issues with Swico.
Once again, my beautiful watch just over 2 months old is being sent back for another repair and I’m left feeling like Olivia Burton are simply ‘ passing the book’ to the aftercare company and not dealing with the issue themselves.
It’s a shame as in the past I e purchased a watch, ring and necklace for my daughter as gifts, this is the first Olivia Burton product I’ve brought for myself and sadly I won’t be treating myself to the matching bracelet to a watch that is evidently faulty

Item sent in error. Excellent customer service received.

Ordered a pair of earrings from Olivia Burton and accidentally received the wrong item.

I contacted Olivia Burton directly to query what the process would be of returning the item and having the correct earrings sent out.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Farah who was so friendly, informative and helpful during the whole process of ensuring that the correct earrings were sent to us. I really appreciated his help and would like to thank him for this.

What a fantastic Brand !!

What a fantastic Brand !!!
I have a favourite pair of earrings from here and it came to my attention the other day that one of the charms has fallen off and I couldn’t find it anywhere. I was gutted because I love the earrings so much.
I contacted Olivia Burton via email and got a reply the next morning !!!
They offered me a 50% off code , so I could purchase the earrings again without having to pay the full amount!!
What a lovely , efficient and helpful brand!

Wow wow wow ! I have now purchased the earrings again and am so pleased with the communication from this company!
Thank you so much !!

Overpriced costume jewellery that falls apart

I've bought several items from Olivia Burton, three of which have completely fallen apart within weeks of having them. The first time this happened, I purchased the rainbow bee necklace. The pendant fell off the chain in the first week. Believing this to be a one-off, I accepted the offer of a replacement as I really liked it. Having had the replacement a few months but only worn it a handful of times, the exact same thing has now happened with this one. So I'm now left with an expensive necklace I can't wear. I also purchased a pair of pearl hoop earrings and the post fell off within a week. After contacting them about this, I actually received a rather snotty reply about their earrings not being covered. This is a £50 pair of earrings! I did get a replacement but only after persevering. I have now come to the conclusion this company is selling overpriced costume jewellery tat and I won't be purchasing anything else from them. I'm so disappointed to have spent this much money on a pendant that's now useless. And given the service I had from them recently about the earrings, I don't feel there is even any point reaching out for another replacement. A once loyal customer now lost.

Fab Jewellery matched with amazing customer service

I love Olivier Burton jewellery and when I lost the back from one of my favourite earrings all replacements I tried were loose. I contacted Customer Services to see if I could buy one and although they are not sold separately Libby managed to source one and post it to me first class with no charge. I can now continue to wear them without fearing I will lose it. Massive thank you to Libby

I had an issue with a new pair of earrings which I raised online and sent some photos. Within 2 days, the issue was resolved and a replacement pair on the way with clear and effective communication throughout.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Bought my daughter a watch and matching bracelet for Xmas. She wore it once and the strap became discolured. I contacted Olivia burton who told me that the watch straps were not under guarantee, but I wouldn’t expect the product to be unwearable after literally wearing it once! I was asked to forward in photographic evidence which I did, 3 months and 3 emails later still not had a response. My daughter is not able to wear the watch…. £120 wasted. Buy from somewhere else, unless you want to be ripped off!

Brilliant Customer Service

I previously lost a part of my favourite earrings from Olivia Burton and I was so upset, I wore them everyday, I emailed the Olivia Burton customer services and they were brilliant! Libby was so helpful and responded straight away and I was able to purchase the missing part, thank you Libby! Could not be happier :)

I used to be a fan of Olivia Burton and…

I used to be a fan of Olivia Burton and bought a watch, necklace and earrings, however found out that the quality is shocking for the price. Make sure you know that the materials are awful, not sterling silver and in a matter of time go black and you throw away. Learnt my lesson.

Hi D Clarke,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we are sorry to hear of your disappointment.

Olivia Burton will always use the highest quality 18ct Gold/Rose Gold or Rhodium plating to provide beautiful, wearable and affordable jewellery. We do have a select few sterling silver items that are then plated in 18ct Gold or Rose Gold however this is then reflected in the higher price point.

Please also be aware that some earrings and all earring stems are sterling silver and then plated in 18ct Gold or Rose Gold.

I hope this information helps however I will of course pass your feedback to our production team for their further review.

Best wishes,

Items delivered in poor condition

Ordered an engraved gold pendant for a Mother's Day gift but when it arrived the face of the pendant was horribly scratched.

Adrian arranged for a replacement to be sent, which was much appreciated, but the replacement has arrived and again, it's horribly scratched.

There's something clearly wrong with Olivia Burton's manufacture, engraving or shipping process that's causing these items to be delivered in poor condition & it's ruined the gift I wanted to give my wife from our young son. Very disappointing.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and we are very sorry to hear this.

This is certainly an unexpected situation and we will be following up with the warehouse as to why this has happened. We pride ourselves in providing excellent customer service, and can see the team have been assisting as soon as they have been made aware of the situation but of course we should not be in this predicament.

Please again accept our apologies and know that the team will of course make sure this is resolved for you.

£45 ring turned finger green

Bought a ring from them for £44.50. Within the space of 1 to 2 weeks it had turned my finger green. If I had bought this from a high street store for less than a tenner I'd expect this. I complained and they said it's because I shouldn't wear it using moisturiser, hand gel (given covid we are all using every day and I'm expected to take my ring off every time???) Or any creams and this is the advice they give. They offered me a refund of 10% and a discount off future orders. Firstly 10% is absolutely nothing in comparison and just kept falling behind the fact I should read their advice. For nearly 50 quid I'm disappointed by the quality. I've had the ring off for a couple of weeks and still have a mark on my finger. I'd avoid. It's expensive for bad quality. Such a shame as I loved the look of the products. Steer clear and go to Claire's instead.

Hi Hannah,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we are sorry to hear of your disappointment.

Please kindly be aware that the product materials are stated on the packaging. Since brass is usually made of a combination of zinc and copper, it can sometimes react with your skin leaving a slightly green/black colouring. Please kindly note that this is not harmful to your skin and can be minimised by avoiding any creams/moisture however can also be affected by the natural acidity in peoples skin. Sadly as this is not considered a manufacturing fault we are unable to accept a return on this occasion, I do apologise, but can see that the team have offered compensation as a gesture of goodwill on this occassion.

I will however pass your feedback to our production team.

Best wishes,
