I had seen a necklace and matching earrings in the shop on my recent visit to Whitby. I meant to go back but didn't get the chance to. I really liked them and a couple of weeks later decided to phone the shop to see if I could ascertain if they were still there. Michaela answered and i could not believe my look as she remembered me. Trying to describe what i had seen would have been hard with so many items of jewelry in the shop. Michaela was so helpful and she even went to look for sets to photograph and to e-mail me as the shop had -had a change around so the set was not in the same place as i had described. She said she would get photos to me over the weekend but bless her she found two sets minutes after my call, e-mailed them and one of them was the set. Michaela was as delighted as I was and I can not thank her enough. Great service and beautiful jewelry.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
We are absolutely delighted to hear about your experience and that Michaela was able to help you find the necklace and earring set you had fallen in love with during your visit to Whitby.
It is particularly lovely to hear that Michaela remembered you and went the extra mile to track down the jewellery, photograph the sets and send them across so quickly. We know how much our team enjoy helping customers find that special piece, and it's wonderful to hear that her dedication and enthusiasm shone through. We will be sure to share your kind words with her – she will be thrilled to know how much her efforts were appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to recognise Michaela's exceptional service. We are delighted that you were reunited with the perfect set and hope you enjoy wearing it for many years to come.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Whitby again soon.
Easy to order
Easy to order. Quick and efficient delivery. Really pleased with my new earrings.

Leah at Hamonds has now restored my faith after a bad experience with Hamonds in Whitby
***Update to this review***
I have now had a much better experience after Leah contacted me and has rectified the situation and restoring my faith in the company. Thank you Leah for helping us with this situation and I’m looking forward to receiving my newly repaired ring.
Dreadful experience with Hamonds in Whitby. I took my Whitby jet and mother of pearl ring to this store which was purchased from here a couple of years earlier and hardly worn but the pearl had fallen out of it. I left it with them for repair saying I’d be picking it up in a month when I return to Whitby. The woman I spoke to said they would call me back in a week but I didn’t hear anything. I’d already said I be would be able to pick it up when we visited Whitby a months later so then had to call them to ask about the ring 3 weeks later. I and spoke to a sales assistant about why I had not been contacted and asked if it would be ready when we come to get it the following weekend and she said yes it would be and she would ring me if not. No phone call was made to me so we got the bus from our campsite and went to the shop to be told it wasn’t ready and was still in ‘preparation’ or something and due to staff sickness it had not been repaired. When I asked why I hadn’t received a phone call the assistant was very sketchy about why I hadn’t heard back and also told me I would need to pay £7.50 for the ring to be sent back to me. After I protested this charge as I’d been clear about picking it up, the ring was finally sent back to me after they’d had it in their possession for 6 weeks and when I opened the parcel there was no repair! Overall it was an absolutely terrible and disappointing service and after purchasing quite a few items of jewellery from this company I have now lost faith and will never buy anything from them again, shocking treatment of customers. I wish I could give them zero stars. Avoid in my opinion as they don’t care about the customer experience whatsoever.
Ok, I will update this review as Sellers have responded and so far so good. I appreciate Leah’s response to allow them to make things right.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to read about your experience and fully understand your frustration.
The level of service you describe falls well below the standards we aim to provide, particularly regarding the lack of communication, the delays to your repair, and the confusion surrounding the return of your ring. We appreciate how disappointing this must have been, especially as a returning customer who had previously placed their trust in us.

The shop on the Shambles was beautiful and it was a memorable experience. Mark was extremely helpful and friendly. The shop has a lovely selection of amber pieces and it was great to hear Mark's knowledge and passion for amber. He helped me choose an amber ring and pendant and was kind enough to tell me about some of my own amber pieces I was wearing. We will definitely be coming back when next in York

Really pleasant and helpful staff who did their best to deliver my order in time for my husband's birthday.
They kept me up-to-date with how everything was progressing. Unfortunately it was not delivered in time but this was because they wanted to make sure it was completed to their very high standards.
When it did arrive the ring was a good fit and my husband loves it.

Never again
Would I use this jewellers ever again, absolutely not.
No mention of no returns from the sales person or did I see a sign in their shop or any mention on my receipt.
I’ve been waiting for a call and I’m wondering if I will actually receive one.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and I’m very sorry to hear about your experience.
We have recently come out of administration under new ownership, and we are actively working with our new team to improve all areas of the business, with customer service as a top priority.
I’m sorry that the returns policy was not made clear to you at the time of purchase. That is not the level of clarity we aim to provide, and I understand how frustrating this must feel. We are also sorry to hear that you have been waiting for a call back-this is not the standard of responsiveness we are working hard to achieve.
If you are still awaiting a response, please contact us directly at help@cwsellors.com and we will make sure this is followed up as a priority for you.
We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve, and we are genuinely sorry that your experience did not reflect the service we are now working to build.
