One of the worst service experiences I have ever had. The old woman who runs this store is…read moreincredibly rude! Started yelling and being very nasty in front of a 3 year old for no reason, also messes up my watch and tried to overcharge so much more compared to others. I have heard about similar stories of her rudeness from a friend of mine! You would never have this shabby service from anywhere like H. Samuals or ernest jones, anyone would be fired for that kind of outburst. No class at all! I am not surprised they had to close their Burnley store! Go anywhere else and give your business to someone who is nicer! Thank goodness websites like this exist so that I can share my experience with others! In all my years of shopping in stores I have NEVER come across such awful service.

Not sure what the last reviewer had against this shop. I'm not normally one to write reviews but in…read morethis instance I felt that the staff and shop were being completely misportrayed. I have visited this shop on a number of occasions to purchase gifts and have always found the staff to be helpful and polite. On my last visit I enquired about a repair for a clasp on a necklace chain and it was done there and then for me and only cost £1! I do not believe at all that they overcharge and based on my experience cannot understand the other review left for this shop. All I would say is do not be biased and go in and see for yourself.

Have you noticed recently all those adverts on TV offering to buy your gold if you send it to them?…read moreApparently the value of gold has soared in the last year or so and everyone is cashing in their sovereigns and hoops. I came to May's to do that, and got a rather reasonable £60 for something I never would have worn again. If you're really desperate, you can pawn something you DO want back on the premise that they'll loan you the amount it's worth. They'll keep the item for up to 7 months, although I don't like the idea of not being able to keep up with the repayments (plus their interest) and losing that cherished heirloom forever... There's loads of great deals on second hand and new jewellery too, with diamond rings starting as little as £50 and continuing upwards of £2,000 but when I look at some pieces I can't help wondering whether the previous owners were unlucky or willing sellers.

I've shopped with Mays for over 20 years and have always received great service from the staff!…read more Their prices are really competitive and they offer great prices when pawning items too. Highly recommend to everyone I know!

I always feel like I've walked into somewhere luxurious when I walk into the Market Cross! The…read morestaff are helpful but discreet (I hate being pounced on!) and the range of jewellery, gifts, china, figuirines and photo frames is impressive to say the least. You would be hard pressed to not be able to find a decent gift within your budget hee. The staff are professional and are more than happy to recommend a gift / item dependant on your budget or the occasion. New lines are always available so there is always something new to look at. Credit/debit cards welcome.

This place is great for buying some fashion jewellery for your party frock or just to wear in…read moregeneral. They have some gorgeous pieces and it is all affordable too which is what we all like to hear dont we? They also do watch repairs which is a God send for me as my watches are always dying on me. I get my watch straps from here and they are around 2 quid and excellent quality. If they do not have what you need then they will get it for you. What better service could you ask for really?

Great little shop despite the unimaginative Johnathan. You will find Jewellery for every occasion…read morehere. Very inexpensive and the Jewellery does not fall apart after a week like many other costume Jewellery pieces do. Staff are great....Johnathen obviously knows his stuff, excluding branding that is!
