Compliment from hard to please customer;

Many thanks for prompt and excellent service, I have always been nervous sending my pearls by post so have always used local jewellers to carry out annual maintenance/repairs etc. In view of the excellent service and quality of the repair carried out on my bracelet I will have no hesitation in commissioning you again and recommending you to friends and family.

Giftpearls has provided me with prompt and helpful customer service as well as carrying out a first-class repair and clean of my pearls. After sourcing quotes from four other pearl-repair companies, including two local ones, I decided that, in view of Geoff's most pleasant and comprehensive response to my quote enquiry, and the reasonable costs he quoted, it was worth sending my pearls away to Giftpearls in Scotland, as I had the assurance that they would be in good hands. A big thank-you to him and his staff for a job well done.

Pearls arrived back safely! I am so , so pleased with them. The necklaces look terrific now that they are a bit longer and the new clasps mean I can now fasten them on myself! I can't wait to wear them. The earrings you made from the bracelets are superb.
Thank you for such brilliant work.

I have recently had a broken pearl necklace made into a stretch bracelet- very happy with it.
Also Gift Pearls have adjusted 2 pearl & quartz bracelets which fastened with a Chinese knot by removing 3 stones as I asked but retaining the Chinese knot. Again I am very happy & would not hesitate to use them again. Very helpful,polite & quick service,also very reasonable cost.
Thank you so much.

I have two pearl and silver rings. One is a Thomas Sabo ring of heavy thick silver which had a large fake pearl which dropped out somewhere and was never found. The other ring, more delicate, is a vintage ring with sentimental value, the fake pearl of this ring also came unstuck but I didn't lose the stone on this one. I sent both rings to Gift Pearls of Nairn and asked for their help. The vintage stone was attached again to the ring, and the Sabo ring was given a beautiful large genuine pearl. I paid so little for this service, and both rings are now wearable again - the Thomas Sabo ring more beautiful than originally! And it is thanks to this genuine and caring company who take such care in their workmanship, a true old fashioned quality service to be treasured.

Thank you so much and very best wishes,
Francesca, Oxfordshire.

Hi there.
Thank you for the restringing and adding a new magnetic clasp to my wife’s rope of pearls last week. You may remember we called into your shop and dropped them off on the Nairn Fair Day, 29th July and you mailed them to us in Ayrshire.
You have done a lovely job and my wife is very happy with her restrung pearls and clasp.
We will recommend you to anyone else we come across who is needing that done, and will also from time to time look at your website.
We pray you and your business will prosper.

Dear Jeff and Liane,
my pearls arrived yesterday, beautifully restrung with new clasps. Top quality work,as usual, and I love the lovely earrings you made for me from two of the Edison pearls. This makes eleven strands of pearls you have restrung for me, and at a fraction of the cost my local jeweller would have charged.
Grateful thanks,

Hello
Just a wee note to express my profound thanks for repairing the four sets of pearls that I sent to you in June.
All have been restrung and cleaned to a very high standard. I am particularly pleased with the lovely necklace you have made from the random collection of pearls in the fourth bag! What a task that must have been!
Please excuse my tardiness in replying. I have been away on holiday until the weekend. Your package was well secured and handsomely wrapped.
Thank you again for your outstanding service and expertise.
With very best wishes,

Hello Geoff
I just wanted to thank you for making a beautiful bracelet and necklace from the pearls we sent you. My mother gave them to me on Saturday and I was thrilled to receive them. You've made such a lovely job of them, thank you again. My grandmother would be proud.

Thank you again for giving Grandma's pearls a beautiful new lease of life.

On 26 June 2017 'Delighted'

Dear Geoff,
I am absolutely delighted with the necklaces and the earrings. Please pass on my thanks to the person/ persons who did the work. It's wonderful to be able to wear my Mum's pearls and I'm only sorry that we didn't think about having them restrung years ago.
I have given my daughter and sister- in- law a necklace each and they love them. Fortunately there is another double strand necklace as my niece and my son's partner would both love one too!
I will be sending this to you soon, and one belonging to a friend who is keen to have her Aunt's broken strand repaired.
Many thanks,
Kind regards, Sue Howard, Cheshire

Dear Geoff,
Thank you so much for the work that you did on my pearls - they arrived back on Monday and I was delighted with them. Being able to ring you for advice was invaluable as well as the photos you sent via e-mail of the various clasps which were similar in size to mine. The whole experience was first class, your work was outstanding and I would not hesitate to recommend you to my friends - in fact I have already done so.

My beads arrived today & I am absolutely delighted with them, restrung & the clasp polished they look like new. Dealing with your company has been a really good experience- your prompt & friendly response when I sent them to you, the speed of your service, the secure packaging for the return, & the modest price.
Really I'm far more of a complainer & fault finder so it's very unusual for me to be so satisfied & to say so! Thank you!

    Many thanks for your excellent work restringing,knotting and fitting a magnetic catch to my wifes pearl necklace. She was a bit worried about how secure the catch would be but,after trying it for a couple of weeks,she can't fault it. Having a shaky left hand she finds it so much easier to use without any assistance. We have a few more necklaces to send to have similar catches fitted.

Once again, many thanks, Ken & Barbara, Liverpool

Hi Geoff,

I just wanted to say that my necklaces etc. have arrived safely this morning and you have done a wonderful job for me. I have already recommended you to two of my friends who were waiting to hear what I thought. Naturally, I can't guarantee they will give you any business, but it is lovely to receive such excellent service and thank you for keeping me posted. In this day and age it is so refreshing to speak to someone and for that someone to care!
