Faultless service throughout. 10/10

For the first time in many years ,I had to return a bracelet,which I realised would not be a suitable gift.
I telephoned the customer service department on receipt of the item. I was given instructions of
how and where to return (free of charge) the item. On receipt of the parcel , a member of the customer service department telephoned to ascertain my card details to refund my money. The whole thing was carried out in their usual professional and friendly manner.

Beautiful necklace

Beautiful necklace, arrived quickly in a beautiful presentation box. I have problems fastening necklaces now because of arthritis in my hands, but this one slips easily over my head. So it's easy to wear and looks fabulous. Thank you.

Good things for those who wait!

The website is easy to navigate with excellent illustrations. But the quality and beauty of the bracelets in real life go above and beyond the photos on screen or in the brochure. I am very pleased with my purchase. Items are packaged beautifully. My only concern was the length of time it took to arrive, 10 days. The website says to allow 7 to 14 days but it is unusual for online merchants to take this long these days. It’s a small quibble on my part. If I could give four and three quarters stars I would do so!

Ordered The Tree of Life and free Secret Sparkle earrings as a birthday gift, I will be very happy to present these both to my friend for her birthday.
Can't recommend Shipton & Co highly enough, been purchasing from them for many years both in store and now online and have never been disappointed with service or quality of items.

Beautiful jewellery

Beautiful jewellery, I have bought online and instore in in bowness on windermere, the assistant was really very helpful, polite and a pleasure to deal with, the quality of the jewellery is beautiful and the prices are very good. I also ordered a gift online to be sent to the recipient and the service was excellent. I also look out for older pieces which are quite stunning and well worth buying as shipton &co produce some unique pieces. I highly recommend them.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I’m very sorry for the delay you experienced with your postal order. Postal orders can take a little while longer due to the FREEPOST service we offer and time to process the order at headoffice but we are looking to how we can improve this. I’m pleased to hear that you like the merchandise. Thank you again for your patience.

Love this company!

Love this company!
I first heard of them when one of their catalogues was delivered with junk mail over 10 years ago. In the beginning I used to recycle the catalogues as I thought them 'too posh' with prices out of my range, however in 2013/14 following Cancer diagnosis and major surgery, plus an exit package from previous employer, I'd decided to thank my family for their love and support by saying they could choose something from the company (within reason 😉)
I've had nothing but excellent service from them from repairing rings I'd originally bought from them to them contacting me whenever the size of ring wasn't available and not being able to size up/down the nearest size due to how the ring was designed e.g not a single band etc, allowing me to swap in totally different rings instead and refunding or making arrangements to pay the difference.
They are my go-to when I need a boost 💝

Looked after me well and helped to make the purchase simple with their knowledge of the products. Goods arrived very quickly and in plenty of time for my wife's birthday. Something a little special that you don't find in the shops.
