It is the only jewelry shop that shows a bit of class in my opinion unlike H Samuel which is the cheaper end of the market. Of course this makes some of the items very pricey but I have also found reasonable priced items for gifts for my mum, nephew and nieces. If anyone gets a Beaverbrooks gift they know it's quality and that's why I like it.

Good deals can be had as they frequently seem to have sales. This store is rather set away from the clothing shops, so I find it is often quieter than other jewellers if you are looking for quick service. Lovely diamond necklaces to gaze at!

I always find it a bit better than H Samuel and other High Street Jewellers, more stylish and if you want something that little bit difference. I'm usually looking for presents for the other half, and they're already ready to help and able to suggest ideas for presents that suit and prices seem competitive and budgets cater for the cheaper presents and the expensive gifts!

They also have a range that they call their exclusive collection. It is a bit pricey but I suppose you get what you pay for and as they sell mostly quality items you would expect to pay a bit more.

The staff are helpful enough but there just seems to be something missing. It's a bit of a boring store I guess that sells some really naff items. I did shop here over Christmas though and bought my mum a new watch - say no more!

My husband and I bought our wedding rings here and also had my engagement ring resized. The service was friendly and quick. We had our rings engraved which they have to send out to do, and were given a wide range of choice in font and sizing. The rings themselves were cheaper than comparable ones elsewhere and they seem to be holding up well so far! The work on the rings was done on time, and to a high standard.

I had my receipt and he said that it was my skin that had caused the damage???So it was not fit for purpose.How can my skin cause damage to the top of the strap? Eventually he reimbursed me and took the watch and chopped off the strap and chucked in in the bin including the metal part of the watch that you attach the strap to. I didn't notice until I went into another jewelers and they pointed out that part of the watch was missing. I went all the way back to Hinds, and showed him what he had done. He never once apologise.or smiled during the time I was in the shop. Shocking that people like this have jobs.His manner was appalling I will never visit Hinds again.

F Hinds is one of those jewellery stores that looks like it has great stuff, but then almost always…read moredisappoints. Their stuff looks great in their catalogues and under the bright shiny lights, but when you hold it in your hand the quality of craftsmanship is rather mediocre. If you're looking for a cheap standard pair of gold earrings, or something like that, and quality is not your main concern, then F Hinds will probably suit you just fine. It is also a good place to get things like watch batterys replaced as they charge one of the lower fees for the job and do just a good a job as any other jeweller.
