H Samuel

I have been in this shop far too often, but that’s no judgement on the shop — more my ineptitude. So, I got engaged a few years ago and we got a lovely white gold diamond engagement ring from H Samuels, reduced from more than £500 to about £350. It was very unusually set and despite being from a High Street store, looked lovely and unique. I then went on holiday to the States and proceeded to lose my gorgeous ring (something to do with suncream, Seaworld and excitement). I was gutted and knew I had to replace it. I toyed with the idea of replacing it and pretending it never happened but in the end decided to fess up and downsize. I picked up a very similar replacement in H Samuels which was reduced to about £100, knowing I could well lose this one too. What’s more, my other half came with me and picked his wedding ring — a Lord of the Rings One Ring complete with Elvish inscription on the outside, yes, the outside! I kid you not. Geek.

This is quite a nice jewellers for people on a budget but don’t want to compromise on quality. They sell all ranges from 9ct gold upwards aswell as silver and have many earings, necklaces, braclets, watches etc. They are good for presents aswell as you can always find something for everyone here including the men. I visited this chop recently and bought my mum a pair of earings and found the staff to be very helpful.
