I took some jewelry into the shop. All gold and some broken pieces. Two main items were a ring and a bracelet. I was offered £55 for the ring and £165 for the bracelet. In particular i was told that although the ring was gold the stone was glass and it would be used for gold only. I went past yesterday and saw both the ring and the bracelet in the window. The ring priced at £295 and the bracelet priced at £895. I was flabbergasted. I went into the shop to query this extortionate increase in value. The manager denied any responsibility and said that head office made all decisions. In fairness he did offer to let me buy the ring and bracelet back, which i was willing to do, for the price i sold them for but when he found the receipt it didn't give a breakdown of individual pieces so he offered to sell them back to me for £450, which was the accumulative amount of everything I'd given him. If I'd agreed that would have meant giving the store the rest of the gold for free. I purposely took the jewelry to Arthur Kay as I thought it was a trustworthy institution. A family firm with principles. I now realise that this isn't the case and warn all others to shop and sell elsewhere. Underhand, as the previous reviewer stated should be above the sign over the door. Very very poor Arthur Kay and so so shoddy. You should be ashamed.
