First off, they seem pretty legit. It’s not some fly-by-night operation. They’re actually John Baldwin (Tavistock) Ltd., registered in England and Wales. Fancy, right? Company number and everything. Woodford is their registered office, whatever that even *means*.
What I *think* is going on is this James Baldwin dude is designing all this unique jewellery, especially gemstone and diamond stuff. Good for him, I guess? I mean, I’m more of a costume jewellery kinda gal, but hey, if you’re into sparkly rocks…
They’ve got a store, too! In Tavistock, Devon. 11 Duke Street, if you’re ever randomly in the area. They even have the phone number listed: 01822 613129. Plus, an email: [email protected]. Seems like they wanna hear from ya.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. They’re all about watches, *especially* men’s watches. Like, a LOT. You can even sell or part-exchange your old watch. Pretty cool, if you’ve got a Rolex just gathering dust, y’know? I bet you could get a pretty penny for it. Seriously, tho, what if you had an old rolex?? *drools*
They also seem to push this “teamwork makes the dream work” vibe. Something about being “individually strong” but “thriving together.” Honestly, it’s a bit corny, but whatever. I mean, good for them for having good company culture, I suppose? I’m not sure how it relates to jewelry, but… ok.
Oh! And they do insurance valuations. Which is handy, I guess, if you’re paranoid about your bling getting nicked. And they offer jewellery repairs and sales too, so you’re covered on all the bases.
The FAQs thing is pretty smart, I guess. Saves ’em from answering the same dumb questions all day, lol.
Honestly, the whole website feels a little… scattered? Like they crammed everything they do into one spot without really thinking about it. But hey, maybe that’s just me. I mean, it’s got everything you need, just not necessarily in the most logical order.
