W R P Jewellery is a very conventional jewellers on Clifton Street, near the city centre. It stocks…read morea good selection of silver and gold jewellery, a lot of which is really well priced and s make ideal gift ideas. Items include a good range of charms and fancy link chains as well as fashion pendants and crosses. They also carry a large selection of earrings, with hoops in both silver and gold. Somewhat inevitably they also offer a reasonable range of engagement rings and wedding bands. They also buy scrap 9ct - 22ct gold. After hours phone number: 01374 601470 Unlike many of the shops on Clifton Street, business levels at W R P Jewellery Don't seem to have been too adversely affected by the new one way system that the council implemented about a year ago. This is probably mainly due to the fact that W R P Jewellery have been around for quite a long time and are well known for performing repairs and modifications. They also provide a valuation service for insurance purposes, as well as reselling. With the price of gold going through the roof during the recession, a lot of people have been tempted to sell their unwanted pieces of gold jewellery for scrap, and so I imagine that W R P Jewellery have performed more valuations than usual over the last couple of years.

I can't recommend this jeweller highly enough. Following a reasonably priced chain repair I asked…read morethem to repair a very precious (to me) ring. It was a difficult job but they did it and now I can wear a very special item of jewellery that means the world to me.

I remembered there was a shop in Penarth that my mum used to use so made my way down to see what they could do. I was greeted by helpful and friendly staff who seemed like they really knew what they were doing and was assured I could come back in a little while and have my watch ready, so I browsed around Penarth for a bit and returned about an hour later. It was all done! As well as adjustments they also do custom jewelry, watch repairs and wedding/engagement rings... (a girl can dream eh?)

I don't want to leave a bad review like this but I have to be honest…read more My fiance and I came here to get his platinum wedding band sized down. We didn't check the band properly when we collected it in the shop which was our mistake, when we got home, we saw that the ring was full of scratches inside, the assay mark that said it was platinum has rubbed off, and one side of the ring was completely dull and unpolished. I phoned and complained and they said to bring it back. I bought it back and complained about how upsetting it was, and how it was unacceptable for us to have our ring returned to us in this condition without them saying anything about it. The owner said he will polish it but didn't really own up to his mistake or genuinely apologised for the poor craftsmanship. Considering that this is our wedding band, and to have our precious ring returned to us like this, I was very very upset. The owner got very defensive and rude, I was sworn at and he threatened to call the police! The whole situation was rather unreal, I have never seen anyone treat a customer like the way I was treated. The owner's daughter was there and diffused the situation, credits to her. So in the end, he restamped the assay mark and polished again. But unfortunately, the polish was still not up to scratch. Also, in the process of restamping the assay mark, the ring was deformed and is now no longer completely round. The whole process was so disappointing and upsetting. Because of the memories now attached to this ring, we are going to get a brand new wedding band. I cannot imagine putting this ring on my husband when we get married as it would just be upsetting and make me cry- and not in a good way... So we spent upward of £500 on the platinum band, then £70 to get it resized, and now spending upward of £500 for a second wedding band... So needless to say, I do not recommend.

Jonathan David is a top end jewellers that supply everything from diamond and platinum jewellery…read morethrough to designer watches. But that's not to say that they are entirely conventional, and don't carry the fun stuff too. They also sell an interesting and comprehensive range of affordable silver, gemstone and quality glass jewellery, sourcing their stock from some home-grown designers as well as from further afield. In fact, Jonathan David cover all of their bases by augmenting their products and services with a pre-owned range, but this is mainly confined to jewellery containing precious stones, such as diamond engagement rings, as well as watches... essentially things that are subject to standard evaluations, where market price can be estimated accurately. This is a family run business with outlets in Wellfield Road in Roath as well as St Mary Street in the centre of town. The St Mary Street outlet carries much of the pre-owned jewellery, so if you are looking for an engagement ring, then this is where you need to head to. In addition, somewhat logically, jewellery and watch repairs take place here as well... this is where the repair and valuation team are based. Again, if you are looking to trade something in, or simply need a valuation for insurance purposes then a visit to the St Mary Street outlet is advisable, although the Wellfield Road store will happily deal with all of your enquiries.

I'm not a massive jewellery fan - I have a few treasured pieces - but I think I know a fine jewellers when I see one, and it's apparent Jonathan David carries beautiful adornments for both men and women, in addition to offering services like engraving and watch repair.

Just looking at these pieces of finely crafted beauty enriches my world! There have been some interesting developments of late.
