In the past twelve months I have had two watches serviced by James Ross Jewellers. A Rolex GMT…read moreMaster II & most recently an 1960's Omega Seamaster De Ville. Their service is second to none. The watches when returned looked like new & keep perfect time.

Was in the area shopping with my wife when my ID bracelet broke. Took it into this shop who asked…read moreme to come back later. We went on to Shoreham and came back in about three hours AND job done. Very inexpensive. Excellent stock and owners are a family business. Registered with Goldsmiths Guild, whatever that is.

Gorgeous little shop that I actually found by accident whilst looking for somewhere to shelter from…read morethe rain! I quite easily whiled away half an hour just looking at all the beautifully unusual jewellery they have - think tanzanite and moonstone rather than more run of the mill stuff. There's also lots of pretty knick knacks that would make great gifts, like mosaic candle holders and little crafty hanging decorations. If I'd started buying things for myself I'm not sure where I would've stopped so I had to be strict, and just picked up a gift for a friend. This was a cute little trunk-shaped trinket box patterned with maps (which I definitely have a fetish for) and for £5 was a bargain. As if that wasn't enough, a nice little chat with the friendly guy at the counter made sure I left with a smile on my face too :)

I am a sucker for a unique jewellery shop! Byzantium is on the high street in Rye so it's never…read moremissed, I always pop my head in when I am visiting Rye just to see what new things they have in and each time there is something that I want that I don't have the money for but it's a nice place to window shop even if you don't have the funds to buy. I love the range of gem-set jewellery in here too, there is some really stunning pieces in this shop and some really sweet little gifts too!

if you wish to sell gold, jewelry or watches it's best to steer clear of George Moss. the owner…read moreBob is a charming fellow but I found him a bit of a rogue. having been going to the shop for years I finally realised how expensive he was and when I offered to sell two Rolex watches he was so dismissive. I went over the road to WE Clark and received amazing service and was offered much more than I asked. the difference was worlds apart.

I took in a small 15 gram 22ct gold bangle also a twin white and rose 9ct 5 gram gold ring. Both…read moreof these items where had marks of purity. The young chap was truly nice and helpful, (my advice to him find a better job), The boss is a either a complete prat or just likes to act like one. He tossed the ring aside saying..." rubbish base metal". The bangle he said was fake rolled gold. My mother brought the bangle is Saudi and it was marked as such. The boss then offered me £20 for all of it! I couldn't believe how rude and stupid he thought I was. I took the items to A. Chatfield & Son and was told the ring was marked Italy 9ct and was offered £380 for all the items scrap. George Moss is a crook I didn't think the rumors where true but if you want anything valued go somewhere infinitely more honest.

The member of staff was extremely unprofessional. I asked a straightforward question in relation to…read morethe price he quoted (which I perceived to be on the high side). My question should have been met with a straightforward answer. Instead the member of staff proceded to make some condescending implications about my item in the most passive-agressive manner. My advice would be to avoid this business. I suspect that the abundant glowing 5-star reviews on Google (nearly no 4-star reviews or below) are either incentivised or fake.

This is just a lovely, lovely shop. They've got some lovely jewellery in there - really gorgeous…read moreold pieces as well as newer stuff. I've never gone in to buy jewellery, but to get watch accessories (batteries/watch straps). These people really know their stuff and they're wonderful personalities to boot. So friendly, and really kind - how many shopkeepers do you know who give your kids a pound to buy an ice cream??

Charlie's rock shop might rock your world (ehem...sorry.)…read more Charlie (at least I assume the bloke behind the till was *the* Charlie) was happy and friendly even though we wandered in on a horrible rainy day. My friend wanted to come here because she bought her favourite pair of earrings here yeears ago...so we came in for a bit of a mooch. This place is full of interesting jewellery- some of it was gorgeous/ some of it was not really to my taste. BUT Jewellery is always a very personal thing to choose - so maybe other yelpers'd like the things I cringed at. There was also a large selection of different minerals and gemstones for sale...so this place would make any collector of stones happy. I bought a couple of pairs of pearl earrings with Stirling silver backs (for £6 each!!) and left very happy.

I love a visit to Charlie's Rock shop. Unfortunately for Charlie and his crew I don't buy much and…read morewhen I do I don't spend much, but hopefully this honest assessment of why this is one of the best shops in the local area will go some way to redress the balance of the joy I receive from a visit and Charlie's profit line. This shop will show you some beautiful geology. They have items from £2 to £200 of sheer beauty. Gorgeous necklaces, rings and other jewellery is available. This is a great place to buy rocks to make jewellery with. I have taken a few friends here to Charlie's Rock shop. They have always bought something and loved the store. A fair few have returned without me. So I have done something good apart from this review Charlie!!!

I am not just writing this or awarding this store five stars off the high of getting engaged, but…read morebecause it was such a splendid place of business! My boyfriend, his sister and I were walking around the lanes of Brighton when we happened upon the charming storefront of Regents. I cooed at all of the marvelous antique rings displayed in the window when I happened upon this beautiful Edwardian piece that now resides on my finger. All of the rings here were in marvelous condition and spectacularly displayed! The woman inside was fabulous and very patient, especially when the boyfriend insisted I try the ring and the moment of shock/terror that followed. She checked to see if the ring fit properly and it did! I could not believe the ring fit so well! The woman also guaranteed a resize if I ever needed it. I am very impressed with this store and am so happy that it made a special day even brighter in Brighton!

The same style watch in one of the larger, well known chain of jewellery shops was three times the price!
