Questions
How does the bespoke jewellery process work?
Our bespoke process begins with a consultation to discuss your ideas. We create sketches and costings, then refine designs before handcrafting your piece over 4-6 weeks with interim check-ins.
Do you repair watches from all brands?
We service Bremont, Tissot, Junghans, and Frederique Constant watches through official channels. For other brands, we use trusted independent watchmakers to ensure quality repairs and maintenance.
Can I get a valuation for non-Galio jewellery?
Yes, we offer valuations for external jewellery via two options: in-store assessment or postal service with certified appraisers, both providing detailed retail value reports for insurance purposes.
What are your opening hours?
We're open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00. Appointments are recommended for bespoke consultations, though walk-ins are welcome for general inquiries and browse-and-buy items.
Do you offer international shipping?
While our physical store serves St Albans, we provide secure international shipping for select items. Please contact us for details on delivery options, insurance, and customs documentation requirements.
