in I wanna buy it or do it
I am looking to buy a 9ct gold necklace for a present. Which online/ physical shops offer the best value? I am wary of the cheapest sites but should I be? Thanks

    Established websites with a proven UK address and plenty of good online reviews.

    The cheaper ones tend to be Chinese shops pretending to be UK based selling fakes or poor gold plated rubbish .

    Most independent local jewellers offer you best price and quality

    I've bought both silver & gold jewellery from this one, both for myself and as presents (physical shop in nearby shopping centre). Never had a problem, and decent quality for the price.
