Customer Service
Pros:
"Very friendly staff and easy to make an appointment due to the current situation."
"Someone recommended me to try this place and their prices were very reasonable and the staff were very friendly and helpful."
"The staff were so friendly and helpful with great advice (via email)."
"The staff in Petra are fantastic and so knowledgeable."
"All members of the team were friendly, polite and professional in their service."
"The staff couldn't have been nicer or more friendly."
"The staff is also super friendly and they clearly care about you being happy with the product!"
Cons:
"Quite pushy sales staff."
"First of all the owner has really poor manners. Aggression and rudeness do not belong in business."
"Its a shame the goldsmith has ruined my first experience visiting the store and putting me off in the future."
"Visited Petra Jewellery in the past and received reasonable service - however very recently greeted by an odd doorbell system upon entry."
"Not exactly the welcome we expected - probably time to stop giving Petra our custom."
"Expensive for repairs too, they take the money before the repair and didn't do a great job as they were unaware my chain was hollow."
"Haven't been back since. Buy my jewellery on the continent only now where the service and products are superior."
Quality of Work
Pros:
"We love how the rings turned out. Definitely recommend their service. So bespoke to your needs."
"The repair and resize was done beautifully and the engraving was perfect."
"I am delighted with the results and fine craftsmanship."
"They had it reset beautifully and came back looking brand new."
"The work they did on repairing a 26 year old engagement ring was quality workmanship."
"Petra did a fantastic job of re-polishing my diamond and yellow gold ring that I thought was past it! The gold was really tarnished but it looks like brand new!"
"I am totally thrilled with the design, quality and service we have received from start to finish."
Cons:
"Secondly bought a silver ring which I put aside and when decided to wear it in couple of months it was dark. Which makes you wonder about the quality of the products sold in this place."
"Only went to get a chain fixed and tried telling me more of my chain needed fixing at an extra expense to get the price up."
"Petra's 2 quotes for work not needed was £190-£240 more than I needed to spend."
"I was quoted more than expected and more work was apparently needed which would take up to 3 weeks... Today I have been quoted from the Birmingham store (we purchased the ring from) and they said the work that the Petra goldsmith quoted me wasn't necessary."
Design and Customization
Pros:
"Beth was incredibly knowledgable and not pushy in the slightest - we both felt as though she genuinely listened to what we wanted."
"Jo was wonderful helping us to decide what colour to go for and how the stones would be set."
"I had a design meeting with Rosie who helped me come up with a design that would include the design elements that were most important to me."
"We couldn’t have asked for a better experience - Rosie was absolutely amazing, and understood completely what we wanted. The rings are perfect!"
"Natalie drew up beautiful designs with very reasonable prices."
"The friendly and knowledgeable team at Petra assisted us with the design and then produced the pair of rings perfectly, exactly as agreed."
"Beth designed the most special signet ring for me using my Mum's eternity ring and some pieces of my own old jewelry."
Cons:
"Lovely selection of jewellery, nice team and very friendly when in store but the appointments requirements make them a little inflexible."
