The clasp on the chain had broken they replaced the clasp with a £0.95 pence clasp and did not give me back just over an 14g in gold they taken off... I did mark my bracelet and chain, my chain I did get back, my bracelet was not the same one that I had marked ... It was much thinner. they did polish it also to try and remove the markings - however mine is a thicker one as my marking would of never been removed ever it was permeant and in the bracelet... how silly can they be. I certainly don't recomend the place they charged me nearly £700 for a clasp repair of £10 and a repair to a chain. Have reported them for prosecution to trading standards, advertising standards agency and soon it will be police for theft. and to other agencies. I am highly disappointed in the place.

Cresta Gems is located on Victoria Street, near to the post office. When you first go in the shop…read moreyou are faced with a tiny little reception counter, where you can ask about jewellery alterations and repairs. I have taken several things in to Cresta Gems for alteration two watches to have links taken out, and a ring to be re-sized and they have always been very helpful and very good value. As long as they are not too busy, you can often go back to collect the item on the same day. If you continue up the stairs there is a little showroom, where you can find a good selection of jewellery and watches. This is where the jeweller himself can also be found, and he will happily give advice and guidance if you would like a new piece of jewellery made, or an existing piece altered. Again, the prices for new jewellery are very reasonable.

They sell clothes, household goods, shoes, underwear, handbags, gifts, childrens toys and much more! It is quite hard to find things as the racks are cramped and usually messy whenever I go in there but if you persevere you will be sure to find a bargain. Especially in the handbags or shoes section.

A superb jewelers with a great range of reasonably priced items, as well as more individually handcrafted items, which are more expensive. The owner makes some of the jewelry himself and is happy to show you the facets of the precious stones under a microscope and explain how the rings are sized or rhodium plated. The shop itself has a security gate as you enter into what is a traditional old fashioned jewelers, with the workshop at the back. As well an impressive range of earings, necklaces, rings, there are also clocks and other gifts. A great place to find that truly special item!

I have bought quite a few items from here and the initial service has been great. They are…read moreconveniently situated in the carillon court shopping centre and have an open plan entrance so there are no doors to open which is good for us ladies with prams! The jewellery is clearly displayed in shiny glass display cabinets which always appear to be clean. There is a good choice of jewellery and watches and they also have ornaments and figurines such as the me to you collection. The only problem I have had is when I lost a stone out of a ring 3 times, the first 2 were fixed for free but for the 3rd they wanted £50 as it was out of the warranty which I thought was excessive when the ring only cost £99.

I did a few classes there recently and the teacher was really helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend it.

Left a sewing machine, foot controller, bobbins and tools with these people as it needed a repair…read more All the items were logged on a receipt which my daughter produced when she went to collect it. The repair quote was ridiculously high, and diagnosis vague. I checked the price of the part needed and my suspicions were confirmed that this was overpricing. The shop told me my machine was worth only half of it's true worth and to consider trading it in for one of theirs. I refused their offer. When my machine arrived home, I took it out of it's box to find the foot controller missing. Shop denied having had a foot controller, which is nonsense as I was with my adult son when I put the machine in for repair and, of course, the items were listed in the inventory. I won't be using them again, but I will be going to trading standards.

The staff couldn't be more friendly and will bend over backwards to help you. Nothing is too much trouble. The prices in there aren't too bad at all. OK the nature of the business means there are no cheapies but certain stores are still well over priced but not here at Music man. The after care service is great, nothing is too much trouble for them and they want their customers to go away happy. My daughter is quite happy to go back here for all her guitar accessories as well as the next time she needs her guitar restrung.

This place has a bunch of stuff. They are willing to order things. They surprise me with their…read morerange sometimes but really they don't seem to understand what I want to do or what I want. They specialise in the cheaper range of gear like behringer and their clones and they strike an uneasy balance between musical instruments and accessories and mobile DJ's and karaoke machines. I get the impression that they started out as a mobile DJ and karaoke machine supplier along with some cheaper PA's and sound systems and branched out into a few of the budget guitars and things and now they've got this uneasy mix. I'm always going for either highly technical queries regarding professional equipment which they can't really help with and would have to order in anyway or I'm on the musical instrument side which they only cover the basics of for the purposes of the beginner. It is nice to see independent businesses though.
