Services
I also manufacture wedding rings and other jewellery on a "made to order" basis. Because no expensive stock is held, prices again are much lower than a high street jewellers. Customers can choose from gold plated samples held at the workshop or from pictures etc. Each ring is hand made to the exact requirements of the customer and take up to 2 to 3 weeks allowing for hallmarking.
Not at all, please feel free to come and browse my workshop. However sometimes I do recommend contacting us on a Saturday to ensure we are able to provide you with the best possible service where you will not be interrupted and your needs can be perfectly met. At the jewellery workshop all jewellery I make comes with an individual hallmark or sponsors mark.
We had our wedding rings made from the same piece of gold 21 years ago by this amazing jeweller. Still wonderful after all these years shining brightly - so blessed at our wedding day. Cliff made a Platinum five stone Diamond ring at least ten years ago for me. I loved choosing my stones and being involved in the design process.

Cliff was a superstar in helping create the dream ring for my fiance. Cliff handled a family heirloom which is over 40 years old, resizing the 18ct gold ring and replacing the existing sapphire with one he sourced for me to my specification. I will only buy jewellery from cliff in the future and will see him for our wedding bands in due course. Thanks cliff Becca loves the ring.

25 years ago we had mine and my husbands wedding rings made by CJ Brooks. Fast forward,moved overseas I lost my engagement ring and my husband lost his wedding ring. We both decided to wait until we could get back to Colchester to ask about replacing them. I walked into the workshop on 15th October,explained the situation and that I flew back on 26th October.Few days later was called to come and pick my gemstone. Explained that hallmarking time was tight,however 4 days before my flight I was called to collect our rings. Beautiful,just beautiful.Excellent craftsmanship,fabulous customer service

Appalling service. Don't take your jewellery here. I dropped in a ring to be resized, I called to check in 3 times over the course of five weeks, being told I'd be called back then never was. In the end after no updates I decided to retrieve my ring. At bi point was I told even an estimate of how long it would take.
I handed over the slip, and had to politely ask if the job been completed as promised - this information wasn't offered which was an interesting way to interact with a customer. The rude owner just handed it back, no apology or explanation as to why it was never resized. Huge waste

Cliff was great - a true craftsman. Both myself and my husband had fixed ideas about what we did (and didn’t) want. Unlike other places, Cliff didn’t try to push a sale or anything, just offered suggestions and opinions based on his experience which we greatly appreciated. The turnaround was quick and the whole process was very easy from start to finish.
We will definitely be back in the future, and will be sure to recommend Cliff to anyone we know who is in the market for jewellery.

I initially took my signet ring in as the ring had worn thin and had bent, Cliff as an interim measure sorted out the ring so it was wearable again. I took it in at a later date and i was given two options as a suggestion, i took the option whereby a new more substantial band was inserted. I collected my ring at a later date and it was perfect, I cannot recommend this guy highly enough, my signet ring is like new again. Thank you very much for your work.

Ive known the chap on and off since 1985, he's a quiet, self effacing person who gets on with the job and knows his stuff.
It's always best to show clear respect to artisan trades-persons of extreme quality. I've had cause to have repairs done on three (3)) occasions and I cant fault the work or craftsmanship (rest assured I'm very picky).
At this present moment in time you cant find better around here and your paying for a local chap with traditional colcestrian roots and a local business ethos.
