On a number of occasions I have taken items of jewellery in for repair or resizing that other jewellers heve been unable to do, the items were repaired with no fuss, returned promptly and in perfect condition. Easy to deal with, trustworthy, very competent and very worthy of a five star recommendation.

Great if you need your watch battery changed, and at a reasonable price. I'd been quoted 50+ but at Margaret King 8. They did say that they would not guarantee the watch for the deep water stuff, but hey I wouldn't even wear it in a swimming pool. I'm 40 odd better off. My wife has used them too.
