Thank you for your feedback. We’re so pleased you were happy with the products and presentation. We’re sorry for the slight delay in dispatch and for the change to the free gift – we didn’t want to delay your order further while waiting for the original gift to come back into stock. We appreciate your understanding.

Quality items at a reasonable price+ free gifts as a bonus.

I’ve purchased several gifts from Shiptons and they have all been good, and their free gifts are an added bonus. Would recommend them for quality jewelry at a reasonable price, especially in their sales.

Faultless service throughout. 10/10

For the first time in many years ,I had to return a bracelet,which I realised would not be a suitable gift.
I telephoned the customer service department on receipt of the item. I was given instructions of
how and where to return (free of charge) the item. On receipt of the parcel , a member of the customer service department telephoned to ascertain my card details to refund my money. The whole thing was carried out in their usual professional and friendly manner.

Beautiful necklace

Beautiful necklace, arrived quickly in a beautiful presentation box. I have problems fastening necklaces now because of arthritis in my hands, but this one slips easily over my head. So it's easy to wear and looks fabulous. Thank you.

Good things for those who wait!

The website is easy to navigate with excellent illustrations. But the quality and beauty of the bracelets in real life go above and beyond the photos on screen or in the brochure. I am very pleased with my purchase. Items are packaged beautifully. My only concern was the length of time it took to arrive, 10 days. The website says to allow 7 to 14 days but it is unusual for online merchants to take this long these days. It’s a small quibble on my part. If I could give four and three quarters stars I would do so!

Another purchase I am very pleased with. Arrived very quickly well within the time estimated.
Ordered The Tree of Life and free Secret Sparkle earrings as a birthday gift, I will be very happy to present these both to my friend for her birthday.
Can't recommend Shipton & Co highly enough, been purchasing from them for many years both in store and now online and have never been disappointed with service or quality of items.

Beautiful jewellery

Beautiful jewellery, I have bought online and instore in in bowness on windermere, the assistant was really very helpful, polite and a pleasure to deal with, the quality of the jewellery is beautiful and the prices are very good. I also ordered a gift online to be sent to the recipient and the service was excellent. I also look out for older pieces which are quite stunning and well worth buying as shipton &co produce some unique pieces. I highly recommend them.
