Another purchase I am very pleased…

Another purchase I am very pleased with. Arrived very quickly well within the time estimated.
Ordered The Tree of Life and free Secret Sparkle earrings as a birthday gift, I will be very happy to present these both to my friend for her birthday.
Can't recommend Shipton & Co highly enough, been purchasing from them for many years both in store and now online and have never been disappointed with service or quality of items.

Beautiful jewellery

Beautiful jewellery, I have bought online and instore in in bowness on windermere, the assistant was really very helpful, polite and a pleasure to deal with, the quality of the jewellery is beautiful and the prices are very good. I also ordered a gift online to be sent to the recipient and the service was excellent. I also look out for older pieces which are quite stunning and well worth buying as shipton &co produce some unique pieces. I highly recommend them.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I’m very sorry for the delay you experienced with your postal order. Postal orders can take a little while longer due to the FREEPOST service we offer and time to process the order at headoffice but we are looking to how we can improve this. I’m pleased to hear that you like the merchandise. Thank you again for your patience.

Love this company!

Love this company!
I first heard of them when one of their catalogues was delivered with junk mail over 10 years ago. In the beginning I used to recycle the catalogues as I thought them 'too posh' with prices out of my range, however in 2013/14 following Cancer diagnosis and major surgery, plus an exit package from previous employer, I'd decided to thank my family for their love and support by saying they could choose something from the company (within reason 😉)
I've had nothing but excellent service from them from repairing rings I'd originally bought from them to them contacting me whenever the size of ring wasn't available and not being able to size up/down the nearest size due to how the ring was designed e.g not a single band etc, allowing me to swap in totally different rings instead and refunding or making arrangements to pay the difference.
They are my go-to when I need a boost 💝

Looked after me well and helped to make the purchase simple with their knowledge of the products. Goods arrived very quickly and in plenty of time for my wife's birthday. Something a little special that you don't find in the shops.

I have purchased several pieces from you kin the last couple of years and they have always equalled myself and my wife's expectation. The service is good and up to the brochure's description.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Items are usually excellent.

I give customer service 5 stars for their information, reassurance & support.
Before I purchased the two items, I requested reassurance that they would be delivered in time, as one was a Birthday gift.
Unfortunately due to previous experiences of being too lengthy a time with dispatch & delivery, this was of great concern to me.
I had to call customer svs again for that very reason.
The lady I spoke to there was so helpful. That is my reasoning of 5 stars given.
I need to add that these two sets of shell pearls were not in the best of conditions. With chippings from them left in the satin boxes.
I have to say that this is the first time the quality of Shipton & co items wasn't up to scratch. I am sorry to state that, as this is most unusual.
Hence the 3 stars.
This was a prompted review.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear our customer service team were able to provide the information, reassurance, and support you needed, especially with a time-sensitive birthday gift.

We’re very sorry to hear that the shell pearl sets did not arrive in the condition you would expect. This is certainly not the standard we aim for, and we appreciate you highlighting it. Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant team, as quality is extremely important to us.

Let me start by saying I would order…

Let me start by saying I would order again. Customer service was not brilliant over the phone and there was no response to an email I sent.

Item took a while to arrive. It was for a birthday present and didn't arrive on time. That's fine as it was for my mam and she understood. Item was perfect in its own right but did not look like the one on the website! The item looked green tones on the website and pinkish tones in real life.

Thank you for your feedback and for saying you would order with us again — we really appreciate that.

I’m sorry your experience with customer service and delivery was disappointing, and that the item didn’t arrive in time for the birthday. I also understand your comments regarding the colour difference. If you would like to exchange it, we will be more than happy to help.
We’re pleased you were happy with the item itself and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
