We have received nothing but exceptional service from Clarksons. It is our go to place despite now living in England. We make a special point to go there for special gifts. Bought engagement ring there, they made our wedding rings to order, also made my eternity ring to order (20 year anniversary) and have just created a beautiful topaz pendant for me to order.

We bought our wedding rings in this shop and I can only speak wonders about it. My and my partner Glen wanted something Celtic and exclusive. We are both from different countries, I'm from Spain and he is from Australia, so was our little tribute to the Country that got us together. Since the very first second Keith made us feel so welcome and comfortable, resulted all ours doubts and answered all our questions guideding us throughout the whole process. His level of customer service was just outstanding! The final result of the rings was stunning. We can not thanks enough the artist who made them

I bought our wedding rings here, after no one in germany was able to made them, and quality and service where great.
Now, to our wedding day, I ordered some earrings, because, again, no one here was able to make them. Within 4 houres I had a design, a timline and a fixed price.
Now they are made, and they look gorgeous!
And the people where so kind!
A special thanks to Keith for everything!

I feel like a king whenever I set foot in here.
Three years on and due to Dupuytren's contracture (not me chunking up, honestly) my wedding ring needed adjustment to accommodate my expanding finger tendon. Whilst I anticipated being without it for a week or so, I actually received a call the next day advising it was ready.
In Keith's words, '"There's not much we can't do here," and my goodness he was right. It fits perfectly once again and it was polished up to look like new just as the day we bought it. Nothing short of amazing.
Thank you once again Keith & the team. You excellent reputation

I cannot recommend Clarkson's enough!
I commissioned a custom made engagement ring from them and, being new to custom jewelry, they helped to explain everything regarding different materials, styles, prices and various technical considerations. Dealing with them was simple whether in-store, via e-mail or telephone/SMS. The staff were always helpful and worked with me on designs to create a truly personalised ring better than the one I had initially imagined. In terms of price, they were extremely competitive. While you can undoubtedly find rings for cheaper elsewhere, a custom made ring is unique

Miracle workers. I had to have my wedding band and engagement ring cut off for medical reasons and the doctor really butchered them (so badly that the three small diamonds fell out), but Keith was able to put the artist who made them to work on the repair with a warning that I might be able to tell they had been repaired. Well, he must think I have some amazing vision cause the repair is not visible, and the cost was so reasonable that insurance paid it with little hassle. Thank you, Keith. You and your artists are very special.

I would recommend Clarksons to anyone looking for distinctive and beautiful jewellery.
After hours of traipsing round the usual high street jewellers and seeing the same engagement rings over and over and not finding one I loved enough to wear forever, a friend recommended Clarksons. Tucked away on Victoria Street, their selection of unique and beautiful modern rings was exactly what I was looking for - the hardest part was choosing just one!
What made it for me was the personal service and advice - a big difference from the impersonal Princes Street experience. Their willingness to listen carefully

Absolutely incredible, honest, trustworthy, brilliant little family business. Keith made every single part of experience truly special - an absolute gentleman. When Keith wasnt there the other staff were a real pleasure to speak too. This is customer service a it's very best. I love in central London, having been born and raised in Edinburgh, and couldn't find anything as good as this anywhere in London. Keith and the team listened incredibly carefully to my very much bespoke request for my future wife's engagement ring. The attention to detail was incredible, the service was exceptional and the
