My thoughts

I have purchased jewellery items from Shipton a number of times over the years (latest being Oct 2025). All in all satisfied with the customer communication and care, the management of returns, secure packaging and the jewellery items look attractive, soundly made and worthy.

Shipton are great I would definetly recommend without hesitation !!!

Over a ,number of years I have bought several necklaces which were well designed, of top quality nests and much admired. This necklace was made of cheap quality beads in horrible colours and definitely did not match up to expectations !
However I have ordered two Blossom flower bracelets and I hope the will as good as my three lovely necklaces which I purchased earlier this year.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m so sorry to hear that this particular necklace didn’t meet your expectations — that’s certainly not the quality you should expect from us. I’ll make sure your comments are passed to our design and quality teams for review.
I’m really pleased to hear, though, that you’ve loved your previous necklaces and that you’ve chosen our Blossom Flower Bracelets — we’re confident they’ll live up to your earlier pieces.

Beautifully made presented and packaged.

I was absolutely thrilled when I opened the box and saw the beautiful brooch I had ordered for a friend's birthday. It was exquisitely made and I could almost make out the expression on the horse's face. One I have seen in real life many times. Not only was the jewellery beautiful but the service was excellent too.

Very happy customer

I had to return one item (amethyst ring) from my order as the colour of the stone was not as per the catalogue. I was offered an exchange up to £10 more than the value, which was good and I found one a bit more than that but used the £10 voucher I'd had with my original order. I was able to return it Freepost and I was kept up-to-date by Sunny with progress. My alternative ring was turned around by Sunny in 24 hours and I was surprised to find not only was a £5 voucher enclosed but a lovely amethyst keyring! How's that for service?

First Order experience

This was my first order from Shipton & I had a problem, completely my error, on the shipping address.
Customer service & support were excellent. Sunny replied quickly to my queries & addressed the problem most efficiently.
The actual pieces themselves are lovely, high quality & imaginative designs. I’m very happy with the value & with all aspects of the company. I shall certainly be using them again.

Have used this company over many years and have always been pleased with their products, many have been better quality than expected for the price.
Free gifts are genuine gifts and not sub-standard freebies.
A bit slow on delivery but I know to order in advance of need.
Overall an excellent company to deal with.
