I sent my grandmothers ring to be repaired by Albone Jewellers and I am very happy with the entire process. I sent it via recorded delivery and was updated as soon as it arrived. My ring was fixed at the quoted price and returned to me via post. The entire process was very easy and I was very happy with the price and the end result. The ring means a lot to me so I was nervous about it being fixed however Albone Jewellers updated me the entire way and I felt that it was in safe hands.

A minute and a half is a long time to wait just to get the opening hours from their answer phone. A minute and a half of not great music playing before the opening hours are proffered. I understand what a nightmare it must be for businesses at the moment with the CoVid 19 crisis going on, but a simple message giving the opening hours isn't a difficult thing to get right.

Bought my AP Royal Oak at Albone and Steve helped me all the way through payment, deliverance and follow up afterwards. Everything was clean and smooth! They even got my watch polished for me 10 months after the purchase and did it for free. I definetly recommend these guys. Very pleasent experience!

Took my ring in to replace lost diamond. It came back replacement diamond loose. I went back with in ten minutes. They sent it back but this time it came back with different band with no hallmark. I soon noticed my 2000 ring has lost its sparkle. The stones now have flurarence. The repair guy messed up and switched the ring band and some of the stones for lower grade. The shop counter guys good but their repair is terrible.

So, I've been after a particular watch (Breitling Steelfish) for a while, and saw one on Ebay being sold by Albone. Steve dealt with my queries, promptly and nothing was too much trouble and supplied extra photos when requested . The watch was posted RM Special Delivery to me as part of the deal and when I opened it, I was extremely pleased with the overall condition. It was better than I expected, and in first class condition. Photos never really capture the detail of a watch, and although I could tell it was a good one from the large scale photos supplied - you just don't know until you have
