Every month we e-mail our customers who have purchased from us for their thoughts and feedback. These are some of the lovely reviews we have had in recent months
December 2019 - February 2020:
"I visited Jacobs as I had some diamond rings that were hugely sentimental to me that I wanted to be remodelled into a new piece of jewellery. The staff were both warm and professional and made me feel very special each time I had to pop into the shop. The end product is stunning and am delighted with it. I cannot recommend Jacobs highly enough. It is rare in this day and age to receive such caring and friendly service. Thank you so much!!"

August 2019:
'My husband and I were really grateful to come across Jacobs. We approached a couple of other jewellers (in Ascot) but felt that Jacobs, in particular Melissa, really got on board with our desire to source an ethical diamond for us to 'upgrade' my existing engagement ring in a new setting which I could input into the design of. Other jewellers were not able/willing to source the lab-grown diamonds we were interested in, whereas Mel found us a second hand diamond, a Canadian diamond, and lab-grown diamond to choose from (we went for the latter in the end). We also had a CAD design and resin cast of the ring made, even though the ring was handmade in the end, which helped us feel confident that we'd be happy with the final product. The service we received from Mel was excellent - really friendly, patient and professional - and the price was very competitive compared to the other jewellers we approached. The one slip-up was that the resin cast was made based on a smaller diamond than the one we decided to go for in the end. However, this meant that when we picked up the real ring it was even more impressive and beautiful than we were expecting. I'm really thrilled with it - I get pleasure from looking at it every day so thank you once again to Mel, the goldsmith who made it, the designer and anyone else at Jacobs who was involved!'
“I'm afraid I can't recall the lady's name, but she was exceptionally helpful and professional, I'll definitely be back, and would happily recommend Jacob's to anyone looking for a good jeweller”
“Lovely service by Phillie who kept me up-to-date with the repair on my ring”
