Goldsmith's sale - up to 75% off (merged)

I was charged postage but I did check the giftwrapping boxes and that service came up with no extra charge, so I am having the 4 items that I ordered giftwrapped and sent back to me ready to give (with smug look on face) on the various occasions for which they were ordered...ideal for those members of the family for whom I do not have something stashed away courtesy of Boots, that is!

What is return policy for rings? Not sure of girlfriends size but don't want to get her suspicious by asking ring size?

Does she have any dress jewellery, such as rings she wears just going out? Swipe one and use that! If its for a different finger then maybe get a size smaller. 9 times out of 10 they need to be resized anyway.

Goldsmith's seem to be quite good with returns - I took a watch to one of their stores and they issued a refund - no questions asked!

i am biting my tongue so hard you wouldnt belive, the temptation to write something rude is over whelming.

anyway, i got a watch online today from this place, the one i wanted (the nautica with the leather strap for £35) was out of stock , the annoying thing was i went to merry hill shopping centre today and could have just gone into the shop and got one without having to pay delivery and would have it there and then.

My 4 items arrived this morning by Special Delivery. Each is beautifully gift-wrapped in Goldsmiths paper and ribbon with matching gift-tags (that they have even written my messages on!) I feel the need to look at the gifts but it seems a shame to unwrap them. Most impressed with the speed of service and the free gift wrap!

Why not do what my husband well not at the time he was not. He took an old ring from the draw and got me my engagement ring all by his self.

The other thing to do is to while she is doing a dirty job or the washing up offer to take her rings for her and then walk away from her and try one on. Then go to the shop and they will measure your finger for you and then you have the right size.

Yours
