My husband bought a lovely ring from Gold Arts in Brighton from Martin Getting who was really helpful and very knowledgeable about the ring, it needed to be re-sized which was carried out at their Chichester branch, Katie booked the appointment, what a lovely lady, very pleasant and courteous. Matt the jeweller was also a lovely gentleman, the work Matt did on the alteration on the ring, was a fantastic job, absolutely spot on with the sizing and new fit. I thoroughly recommend both branches of Gold Arts, a very professional jewellers.

Every time I have been in to Gold Arts it is a pleasure. They have the most beautiful pre-owned as well as some stunning contemporary pieces. On my most recent visit, I needed a ring resized and repaired and the whole team were just so helpful and is good (if not better) as new. If you are looking for a jeweller, I can't recommend Gold Arts enough.
