In-Store Services

In addition to demonstrating our expertise through customer service, we also provide several services from the Gold Shop including valuations, gold and silver buying, watch batteries and repairs, jewellery repairs and ear-piercing.

Gift Vouchers

Gift vouchers of any amount from £10.00 are available for purchase from either our Gold or Silver shop, or even over the phone for use at either the Gold or Silver shop. These are the perfect option for birthdays, Christmas and weddings.

Valuations

Due to the recent sharp rise in metal prices, more and more people wish to get a modern, up-to-date and accurate valuation of their jewellery. People have their jewellery valued for many reasons with the most common being to safeguard against loss or theft by insuring the item(s) for an accurate price, or to get an idea of value before selling.

All insurance and probate valuations are carried out by our registered valuer Graeme Hogarth who is a member of the Institute of Registered Valuers. Items are appraised on the premises and they do not leave the building. They are usually completed within one week. You will receive a very detailed valuation along with an optional photo of each piece. Please contact us for more information or to arrange your valuation.

Gold Buying

High gold and silver prices have given an opportunity to people to make a return on their unwanted jewellery. While there are many companies all too keen to buy your second hand gold, we advise you to visit your local jewellers first before posting out your valuables to unknown companies. If you would like any advice on this matter, or are interested in selling any of your unwanted gold jewellery or silverware, then please get in touch.

Watch Batteries & Repairs

If you are having problems with your timepiece then we have a great deal of experience in watch repairs and battery replacements. If your watch is in need of a service and we are official agents of your watch's brand then we can send it direct to the manufacturer on your behalf.

Jewellery Repairs & Engraving

We offer a comprehensive jewellery repair service from the Gold Shop. This includes jewellery repairs from ring sizings, chain repairs through to full re-mounting of rings. Every repair is unique and has its own requirements, so get in touch and we'll be happy to advise. We also offer a full engraving service.

Ear Piercing

Margaret Holding and Judith Burrow have a wealth of experience piercing ears of men, women and children from seven years old. We have a selection of five different styles of earrings available. Follow up checks are offered at no extra charge. Please contact us for further information or to make an appointment.
