    Interesting little vintage/ jewellers shop in the centre of Shipley. Super helpful, knowledgeable, and very friendly staff. Firstly, we called in to purchase a dress ring for my husband that had caught his eye in the window, we were assisted by a lovely young lady and the sale was completed with ease. We were soon chatting and discovered some of the shops history and about intentions for the future. Secondly, Barry, the man we have had most dealings with, gave us some good advice about a bracelet that we needed repairing and was extremely obliging, we ordered a new clasp and Barry very kindly fitted it for us ( free of charge )he also took the time to show us how to alter the length if we found it necessary. Most recently, My husband had a watch battery replaced at a very reasonable price and once again was given some excellent advice that made really good sense. It is so nice to discover that good, old fashioned service still exists. Definitely won’t be our last visit to Perkins. Thank you.

    I wasn't actually going to do this..... however, first of all, The owner of the shop, seems just lovely, and certainly seems to know his trade. I decided to take 2 rings i have, to Perkins, for re-modelling into a multi stone type of ring. I was told to expect some designs within 10-14 days, When i called, after this time, they told me they were a little behind on time(these things happen occasionally) after another call, a week later, they had forgotten to measure my finger for size, so i popped in for that doing, so then they could get on with the design, and pricing. I left it another couple of weeks... by this time i started to get a little concerned, i tried ringing the shop a couple of times, without answer. Eventually i went down to the shop, after a whopping 8 weeks..... basically to be told, "he hasn't done a thing with your rings, and they're in his workshop in Leeds" to be fair, they were collected and returned to myself at my home, much to the embarrassment of the owner, who promised that another supplier Would draw up some draughts, and i'd have a price within then next week or so...... guess what??? 3 weeks down the line, I'm still waiting. Seem like great people, but extremely unreliable, and full of broken promises. So disappointed.

    Husband over the moon had his seiko watch repaired that he had originally bought for his dad when he was in the navy in 1971. He says excellent service and reasonably priced.

    Amazing service! Me and my fiancee initially planned to get married next year, however my fiancee was diagnosed with cancer in August so we decided not to waste any time, our wedding is now booked for November. We dropped into Perkins last Wednesday to look at some rings, explained our situation. Normally rings have a 3-4 week turnaround but they managed to get the ones we chose by yesterday! We were so worried about being able to find rings in time we had even joked with each other about using haribo rings until we could get proper ones. Thanks to Perkins one of the biggest worries about our wedding has been completely removed. The staff are friendly and kind. We would highly recommend them.

    Went for a watch battery today. Fitted within 5 minutes. The jewellery shop next door washed to send it off to get done and that would take over a week! Lovely friendly service and a nice chat with him while I waited. Highly recommended.

    I just gave my watch for new battery but it was damaged on the strap and he fixed it free of charge as I was worried it would have cost a lot as i didn’t have the pins and bits that goes with it. Absolutely delighted brilliant staff.

    I was recommended to go to this jewellers for replacement batteries for two watches which are of sentimental value. Previously I had been to a watch repairer in Baildon whom I had known all my life who has now retired. I went to Perkins yesterday and they were outstanding. They sorted the watches whilst I waited and told me about the watches etc as I watched. Their charges were very reasonable and I am confident they did a good job. Definitely I can recommend them highly.

    Friendly helpful and know what they are talking about, I have every confidence in the young man I spoke to being able to do the intricate work needed on my bracelet

  • 5/5 Adrian M. 2 years ago on Google
    Popped into Perkins in Shipley on the off chance they might be able to fix a problem I'd caused myself when changing a watch battery. Barry was super helpful and took fixing it as a personal challenge, even stripping a part from an old watch to get mine going again. Exceptional service and a very friendly guy, would definitely recommend. Thanks Barry

    Best jewellers by far! I have used these for many years and thought it about time to write a review. They have always been friendly and knowledgeable on everything from changing a watch battery to commissioning a bespoke platinum and diamond eternity ring, I would definitely recommend them. Thank you to Barry and his loyal staff.
