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.

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!!!

They…read morehave an average to good selection of all the usual stuff you'd see at a jewellers: watches, rings, pendants and necklaces just to name a few. Look carefully at what they have on offer and you'll find some really special pieces worth the hefty price tag. Perhaps the best part of David Simmons is their very capable workshop in the back of the store. You can buy a piece of jewellery and customise it by engraving it, or you can even find a ring or necklace you like in a magazine and David Simmons can make it for you. Perfect for that more expensive gift for the one that you love!

So many people have complimented me on my jewellery. My daughter liked my Diamond 5 Stone Eternity Ring, mine had belonged to my mum in law.

David Simmons Second Hand Jewellery is also so reasonable in price. We highly recommend David Simmons.

Aurum is a fantastic little independent jewellers in South Croydon. I remember walking past it as a…read morechild and always wanting to look in the windows at the beautiful pieces, and now as an adult I still can't resist stopping to stare in at all the beautiful things on display. Aurum is a working goldsmiths, with a little workshop out the back where they make everything, a fact which instantly makes them ten-times more appealing than the brightly lit chain jewellers you will find in the town centre, where the staff are just sales machines, rather than experts. At Aurum, they are on intimate terms with metal and precious stones, and you can go in and buy something gorgeous off the shelf, get them to remodel something you already have, or get something bespoke made, and they will be knowledgeable and helpful throughout. I've got some Aurum bits which I was given for my 18th birthday, and they are still going strong (I won't tell you exactly how many years later), my Dad has a pair of their frog cufflinks, which are still his favourites after 15 years of wearing them, and my brother has bought all manner of things from there for his wife - from those first teenage presents, to the ring he gave her on their wedding day.

They also do a great job at cleaning my jewellery and mending stuff I've bought elsewhere. I can't recommend them enough. Although of course there will always be people that prefer to pay more for lower quality diamonds from more famous stores!

I cannot speak highly enough of Peter and his team…read more After having a disastrous problem on my engagement and wedding ring (with the jeweller next door), I went to see them, both shaken up and nervous. Basically, my wedding band needed a half shank change + size reduction. Basically, some pretty heavy work. Needed to cut the ring in half and replace the shank (which had been damaged and filed down to half its size by another jeweller). It was a big job and he knew how panicked and uncertain I was. Not that I didn't trust him, but because I didn't have a great experience with the other one. Peter was very sweet but still very professional. I felt that he knew and understood how I was feeling and was ready to work hard to make up for someone else's mistakes. After coming back with my husband, we both felt comfortable giving him my engagement ring and wedding band for them to be resized and for the band to be cut in half to replace the shank. Due to the past experience, I was very nervous during those days, because those rings are important to me like they would be for any young bride. Fast forward a couple days later, I came back and the wedding band was looking perfect. I cannot tell that it's just been cut in half and put back together with another half shank. It looks absolutely immaculate. Of course, both rings were resized as well and they fit just perfectly. As the rings were bought in the US (14 carat), he had to work with 18 carat for the half shank which also adds value to the ring. In total I paid £200 for the job of resizing both and replacing the shank. Was it worth it? YES. I am so happy I trusted Peter and his team. It is an expensive price of course, but the rings are perfect and the job was perfectly well-done. I cannot thank them enough for what they did. Apart from the moral support they provided, they had excellent service. During my time in their shop, a lot of people came in and out and a lot of them seemed perfectly happy with the service. As for the jewellery selection: They have a lot of everything. You can find watches, rings, bracelets, and many more. All of their products seem to be good quality, great style for a reasonable price. More importantly, I think that buying with them would be a good choice because they are very professional people. Thank you very much to Sinclair for fixing both of my rings and being so nice.
