This was my second order from William…
This was my second order from William May and I'm very just as pleased as I was with the first one. 2 items are beautiful. Delivery was quite quick and both items came in boxes
Only thing I would say is on the website I wish the photos were better. For instance I got some earrings and it would have been really handy to have a photo of them on a dummy to show the size?
I'm an absolute magpie when it comes to jewellery, especially pre-loved, so no doubt I'll be back for more soon!
