I have my partners 30th Birthday coming up in just over a month and after 4 years together I have never brought her any jewellry. I would like to make a mends with a Links of London Charm Bracelet:

Does anyone know of anywhere where you can get the genuine bracelet cheaper? Its just slightly out of my budget.

    I would be highly suspicious of this site. The Gucci jewellery is fake and I imagine the Links will be to.

    The prices they are apparently selling these items at is cheaper than cost to jewellers!

    I'd stear well clear!

    You will not be able to buy the Sweetie bracelet anywhere else. There are lots of copies about but if you want the exact one, you will have to get it from Links because they are the ones that make it. Do not buy a cheap copy unless that is what you want. :-)

    Links of London now have outlet shops. There is one at Cheshire Oaks. I don't know if there are any others. Hope this helps.

    Help. Ordered a bracelet from the Celebrity Silver website almost 2 weeks ago, the money came off my account the same day, but no bracelet. Really panicking now because I went back into the website to contact them and there is no contact details - no telephone number, no address, only an online form to fill in. I am now thinking I have been scammed. Feel sick about it. Anyone had experience of this company or any advice????

    There is a Links of London outlet in Bicester too.
    Debt free since July 2013! Woo hoo! The bank actually laughed when I said I have come in to cancel my overdraft.

    You'll only get the Links stuff at Links prices as they're set, unless you can find a discount for a local jewellers who's also a stockist.

    Incidently, you need to allow £40 upwards for each charm but that's the six birthday/Christmas/anniversay presents sorted!
