Services Report

JEWELLERY CLEANING: Have your jewellery cleaned regularly. This can act as preventative maintenance. A jeweller can spot any worn or broken claws on a ring. Remember a ring is the most abused item of jewellery. Cleaning is relatively inexpensive compared to replacing a stone, and it is always nice to have your jewellery looking its best.

Design Report

Always try jewellery on. It is easy to forget that jewellery is for wearing and that the most important thing is that it suits you. Check all fastenings. It is better to discover any faults in the shop than lose your precious bracelet, bangle or chain when you're at home. Make sure rings fit comfortably.

Watches Report

The main thing about a watch is that it needs to tell the time accurately. This can be done in two main ways - Mechanical or Electronic. Mechanical watches consist of 3 main parts: a mainspring to provide power, a regulator and a winder to wind the mainspring. There are approximately 130 parts to a standard Mechanical watch and therefore it is necessary to protect them and have them regularly serviced.

Valuations Report

There are a number of reasons why it could be essential for you to have your jewellery valued. It goes without saying that any jewellery you should be adequately protected by insurance. But even if you have insurance cover based on a valuation given to you some years ago, it would be prudent, because of the fluctuating cost of gemstones, gold and labour, to have it valued again.

Gold Report

Gold exists almost everywhere, in the sea and in rivers, as well as in the earth. However, while tiny traces of gold are almost everywhere, gold is still extremely rare. There is so little of it, that all the gold mined since the beginning of time could be transported by one modern oil tanker, and there is probably only half as much again left in the earth to be mined.

Took 2 items into their shop to be serviced and cleaned some time last year...returned to the shop on the collection date to be told the items were not authentic
I have since taken the items to 3 other jewellers and all three have confirmed the items are in fact authentic
How strange

I have experienced rudeness in the past from one assignment but I put it behind me.This time it started when I took in a pearl necklace to be restrung.I picked it up and it looked fine, even commenting that the clasp looked sparkly.When I got home I found they were not cleaned to my liking.I phoned to check that a clean was included in the service,and was told yes ,I was told that they would need to see the pearls before anything could be done.I thanked her and said I would return which I did shortly afterwards. After showing her my necklace she took them to the back of the shop when I heard the

Positive: Professionalism
Mr Walton is a highly skilled and experienced jeweller. I had a ring made from scratch, working loosely from a photo, I couldn't be happier with it and the cost was very reasonable This was my second purchase from Waltons, having had another ring made 18years ago. Both are treasured. Highly recommend.

Do not use these rude obnoxious people. Simple glass replacement has effectively written off my watch. Went in with broken glass but working perfectly, came out with new glass and broken movement. "It must have been like that when you left it" is their only response. 100% guarantee it wasn't buy as I trusted them to look after my valuable watch I do not have any proof. Once they have your money they don't care
