I bought my wife's engagement ring and wedding ring at Wright & Griffiths, more years ago than I care to think about, and since then it has become a standing joke in the family than the only serious piece of Christmas shopping I do, is on Christmas Eve each year when I buy my wife a piece of jewellery from Wright and Griffiths. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I can't imagine why anyone else should want to. (It is a pity they don't sell dinner services: I tried to get the memsahib one in Debenham's but I couldn't find anyone to serve me. Since I seemed to be the only customer in the place, perhaps Debenham's have declared us all persona non grata). read more

One of the few family run businesses still left in the High Street. The double fronted shop has good window displays and there are further displays inside the shop. The staff are very helpful and you do not feel as if you are being rushed to make a choice. They are willing to show you plenty of items to make sure that you make the right choice. They are happy for you to handle the stock before purchasing. They do minor repairs on the premises and have an efficient send away service for more complicated matters. Their prices are average and I feel represent good value for money. read more
