SCAM WARNING

We are aware of recent SCAM attempts using fake receipts with our logo printed on them.
These fake receipts are usually handwritten and bear no resemblance to our own company receipts.
Please Note: We never issue handwritten receipts, quotes, invoices or valuations.
In this particular case, the goods in question are fake and would have never been sold by us. The scammer is simply trying to use our good name and reputation as family business since 1971 to make these items look legitimate.
Buying goods from online marketplaces such as Facebook is a risk, and we advise having any jewellery items professionally tested and valued before handing over any money.
