Some 33 years ago my then girlfriend and I visited Clarksons for an Engagement Ring, we didn't have a fortune to spend and were handled by the then Father of the current owner. We were treated as if we were an important client and came away with a lovely unusual designer ring.
Since then we've had a wedding band, an eternity ring and a ring to celebrate 30 years of marriage, all made by them to fit to the engagement ring, with the end result giving the impression that my wife is wearing just one ring, fantastic.
My wife will be 60 this year and I commissioned Clarksons to make a necklace pendant and earrings to match the original engagement ring, the result looks truly amazing.
When I had the eternity ring made, Keith Clarkson, who is the son of the Gentleman we saw 33 years ago, recognised the engagement ring immediately and named the designer, that is what you call knowing your business and I would wager that there is not another Jeweller in Edinburgh who could claim such personal knowledge of their product.
My experience in dealing with Mr Clarkson senior and Keith over 33 years has been a true pleasure, and it is wonderful to see a family business being run in such a professional and courteous manner, and as an owner of a successful business myself, I appreciate the style and class of Clarksons.
If you are reading this and looking to purchase jewellery, go and visit Clarksons and see for yourself and experience true quality and class.
