I Would Not Recommend

After spending many years purchasing watches and supporting a local business, my wife and her friend purchased rings from here. My wife's friend chose a ring she wanted and then the stone fell out. Banks Lyon arranged for the ring to be replaced.

My wife also purchased a ring. After a month, the main stone came out of the ring. When we took it back, we were told my wife had obviously caused the stone to loosen and come out of the ring so there would be a charge to put the stone back and they couldn't confirm the repair would even work. I declined and took the ring to a reputable jeweller who told me there's no way my wife could have caused the stone to fall out. They repaired the ring at a significantly reduced charge compared to what we were quoted by Banks Lyon and the ring has been perfect.

I also sent a watch to Banks Lyon for valuation. I was told it was £50 and I had to bring the watch in to have pictures taken. For £50 I received a report with a standard website image of my watch. I know it was a standard image of the watch because I have a different strap on the watch.

After these experiences and the complete lack of customer service or appreciation of a loyal customer base, we've never been back.

Reply from Banks Lyon Jewellers

We are sorry to read that you were left disappointed after what had been a long-standing relationship with us. We greatly value the loyalty of customers who choose to support local businesses over many years, which makes it particularly concerning to hear that we fell short of your expectations.

We understand your frustration regarding the ring repair. While assessments of jewellery damage can sometimes differ depending on the circumstances and the jeweller carrying out the inspection, we appreciate how disappointing it must have been to feel that your concerns were not handled in a way that gave you confidence in the outcome. We are pleased that the ring was ultimately repaired successfully, although we regret that this was not achieved through us.

We are also sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with the watch valuation service you received. To clarify, the photographs taken when a watch is presented for valuation are used by our valuer as part of the internal inspection process. The image shown on the valuation document itself is intended for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily a photograph of the individual watch being assessed. However, we appreciate that this may not have been clearly explained and understand why this aspect of the service left you disappointed.

Customer feedback, whether positive or negative, helps us review our processes and improve the service we provide.

What can I say apart from WOW

What can I say apart from WOW! From start to finish they have been amazing. I ordered from Scotland and the fact it came within 20 hours says it all. They were so kind, informative and made the experience feel special. I told them right at the end it was for my sons 18th, without hesitation they were wrapping it etc. honestly blown away with them!! Would recommend to EVERYONE because I’ll now be buying from them and them only.

A family run jewellers which is worth a browse!

This is my second visit to Banks Lyon and it probably won’t be my last!
The staff are so welcoming and helpful. The fact that they hold a large quantity of stock enabled me to consider different models in one visit, even though I had gone with a specific model in mind.
There was an also recognition from Samantha that I had been a previous customer, so this meant I was able to get a very good deal on a beautiful watch.
Thank you Banks Lyon Jewellers 😁
