Good place for repairs and restoration. Really helpful and transparent
I recently ordered a stone and had my partners engagement ring handcrafted by Penny at Meakins Jewellers. Penny was extroadinarily helpful to me throughout the entire process; the service she provided, exemplary. At my first appointment, I remember her saying I have the best job in the world, I get to make beautiful handcrafted pieces of jewellery for people as a symbol of their love for one another.I had a tremendous amount of questions along the way. I understood the 4 Cs, but as with anything, there are levels. Over a number of weeks, speaking back and forth with Penny, what I came to understand is how deep the levels go and how a very small variation can make a substantial difference in the final product. The first day I went in, I wanted a ring. What I didnt expect was the education that I was provided with that aided me through the process and enabled me to come to my decision.The ring is stunning. When I chose the stone, I was happy. When I got the call from Penny that it was finished I went right in and picked it up. When I saw it for the first time, finished, I was a little lost for words. Not that you would probably think so from the length of this review. However, that is a testament to Penny, her craftsmanship and the outstanding service Penny provides her clientele.If you are looking to have something special made, and you want genuine and honest advice without the hard sell you may get at a commercial/chain jeweller, do yourself a favour, go down and speak with Penny.
Penny has been a great help repairing some vintage brooches & badges from the 1st & second World war that I have bought from eBay, She doesn't charge the earth & She is great to communicate with, Highly recommended.Rod.
Meakins Jewellers, and Penny, have been my go to jeweller for over 5 years now. She has made several custom gifts for me, including; a bracelet, pearl necklace and most recently an engagement ring. I cannot speak more highly of the quality or service that you will receive at Meakins, it is in a class all on its own!Pennys skill, warmth and experience are simply amazing! She walks you through every decision with confidence and detail; and her work product is better than anything you will find elsewhere.On a personal note, as a man trying to design and buy an engagement ring this is a daunting task however Penny made it an effortless and stress free experience, and my now fianc loves her custom engagement ring.
My now fianc, designed and created my engagement ring at Meakins with Penny. I can not vouch for the experience (though he raves it was exceptional) but I can offer the highest praise possible for the end result. I couldn't be happier with the ring, it suits my hand and my personal style so very well. It is individual, comfortable to wear and I have resorted to gazing at my hand and collecting complements from all who see it. I can't thank you enough, Penny, for crafting the perfect piece that I will treasure forever.
