    I would not trust anything this company says They had my wedding ring for 2 1/2 months just to reset my diamond! I started calling in to check on my ring once they had it for 1month I was told it would be ready( I believe they forgot about it ) . next wk I went and checked and was told they where waiting on a tool from overseas ! Which was a complete lie as they make rings ever day ! I went in the following wk and was told it still wasn’t finished and that it was just because the jewellery was busy , I understand this but don’t say it will be ready in 3 wks and blame it on Covid and all sorts of other lies I recommend correct communications with the customer and don’t lie ! Then they have the audacity to charge full price and not apologise for the way they handled things ! I will never purchase anything from this business and will be sure to spread my experience!

    This shop is pathetic, i have never had a jewelry shop charge for a so called conversation and to ask if i could have my finger measurement taken. This store has gone to a new low. STAY AWAY. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU MIGHT NEED TO GET YOUR FINGER SIZE BE AWARE $20.

    I’d been aware of Georgies since they first opened in Batemans Bay. Being interested in watches, I followed their lines, and at times went into the shop to ask about specific items, though found them mostly generic low end and over priced.. Enquiring about watch making and repair work, I was referred to Georgies. My first inquiry was for a repair job of a mechanical automatic watch that my father had smashed the crystal when he had a car accident. I was told that the watch would be sent to their "watch maker." Quote came back in good time, though well over the value of the watch so I declined. There were some items stated in the quote that I deemed not necessary, (new main spring) but as I was told the "watch maker" was a professional, I still declined. That particular watch is till ticking away, time reserve still around 42 hours. albeit with a smashed crystal. Last week I had the chance to take another time piece to Georgies. It was a Heuer Yacht Master. Similar to a stop watch, though for use in timing the start of Yacht Races. Made in the 70's by Heuer, before they became Tag Heuer. I was met with an older more officious woman than I had dealt with previous. I stated that I merely wanted the case back opened, and two screws that could be seen floating on the dial, re-homed. When I asked that perhaps the watch maker could tidy up the lugs, I was cut short being told that to do so may damage the plating even further. Although not knowing me, and consistently referring to the Time Piece as a Tag Heuer, she made a point, by her attitude and lack of listening skills, in letting me know that she knew more about horology than I would ever know. After taking photos of the time piece I was then told that the "watch maker" was very busy and it could take some time. She was not conversational, unlike the previous representative I had dealt with; it seemed the buck stopped with her. . Being in business myself, I left questioning why I had entrusted my business with someone that on first impressions had come across as arrogant and rude. 2 days later I received a phone call telling me the “watch” was able to be picked up, and that it could not be fixed. I went to the shop, picked up the “watch” and returned back to my work. When I got home I looked at the time piece and was surprised, if not shocked to see the damage that had been done. In the process of attempting to remove the case back there were not only new scratch marks, (understandable perhaps) but a large piece of metal plating had also been dislodged. Fair enough, the ask was a difficult one, to remove a case back from a time piece that had not been touched for 40 years, BUT to create such damage and NOT EVEN notify me, let alone apologise to me, was something that I felt worthy to write this complaint. All I got was, “It could not be fixed.” If indeed you are thinking that it is just a scratch, obviously you are not aware of historical mechanical time pieces and the devaluation due to scratches, ineptitude etc. If Georgies wishes to blame the “watch maker?” with this lack of description, I am not buying it. If indeed this is the case, they are at fault for contracting such a watch maker and taking the commission on such work.

    We noticed an item in the store window and decided it was excellent for our Granddaughter. The process for purchase was easy and the sales person went to considerable length to ensure we were happy with the product and that we understood all of the details surrounding this product Very happy with the service.

    A wonderful, funny experience designing a unique and personal ring that we loved, and all without blowing the budget. Thanks so much Georgie, you've definitely made our wedding that extra bit special! Would definitely recommend to others!

    The staff are always polite, helpful and have always followed up with a phone call or email when needed. I have had jewellery valued and cleaned; I have bought many jewellery pieces for special occasions and find the quality and variety of their jewellery is better than most in our rural area.

    Beck and the staff have been very helpful, honest and patient with me while I have been having jewellery repaired and valued. Due to their help and attitude I have just purchased a beautiful ruby and diamond ring. Would recommend this store and staff for purchases, repairs and valuations.

    Great customer service, Debbie was very friendly and helped me pick out a beautiful gold watch for my mums 70th birthday. She had great knowledge about it and made it very easy for me to choose the perfect watch for my mother. Thank you Debbie

    My wife and I were visiting from Sydney and my wife saw a necklace in the window she liked. The service we received from Debbie was amazing, nothing was too much trouble and she took the time to show us different pieces and helped my wife try them on several times. We ended up with earrings to match as well. Great service and lovely jewellery. Will definitely stop in next time we visit Batemans Bay.

    Have shopped here before and even though they can be a little over priced I have been happy. Not this time! My husband purchased a lovely whale pendant on what he thought was a silver chain in Oct 22. The chain appeared tarnished and coppery very quickly. I have been in store today to have it checked and discovered that my husband was sold a display chain. The excuse given was they had new staff. Not my problem. I have been invited to purchase a new chain but they won't replace. Disgraceful! Will never buy from there again

    Went in for an appraisal and alteration on a piece I'd found elsewhere and the team was able to do so quickly and cheaply. Service was great and it was lovely chatting to the staff while the piece was worked on. Thanks again :).
