A Bespoke Bangle

I have just received my beautiful, bespoke bangle. It’s expertly made and looks totally stunning. Emily’s customer service has also been outstanding - warm, welcoming and so accommodating. This is an heirloom piece of jewellery that I will treasure forever.

Excellent Experience

I contacted Pruden and Smith regarding re-modelling some existing gold jewellery that I never wore. From the initial telephone contact to collecting my new necklace and bangle, everyone involved was professional, helpful and friendly and made the whole process very easy and rewarding. I am delighted with my new jewellery and would unhesitatingly recommend Pruden and Smith.
