We've had so many comments about our web site, about how great it is, about how easy it is to use, and most importantly, about the people who designed and built it for us.

Well now we're letting the cat out of the bag.Our amazing site was the work of Focal Strategy.

Peter and Sue were very patient with us, they listened to everything we said, and what we didn't say, then designed a site around our characters, the jewellery that we sell and the service that we love to give to our clients.

We'd looked at so many designers and their skills, their abilities, and the flexibility they would offer us, but nobody could instill the confidence and understanding in what we wanted until a chance conversation took us to Focal Strategy.

Can we recommend them..........definitely.

Should you talk to them.........absolutely.

Would we be surprised if they couldn't help you.........yes

Visit their own web site and have a look at their projects page to further understand their skills.

How would you set this diamond........an engagement ring perhaps. Or maybe an elegant pendant. This Trilliant cut diamond is a G/VS2 stone weighing half a carat and is just £1400. We have it in our safe at the moment, but at this price it won't be there for long

Buchanans are delighted to be able to introduce Skagen watches to Lymington.

Skagen's design focus for it's watches is on stylish thin creations (just like Iain and Steve) with coloured dials, and a choice of integral bracelets or supple leather straps.

We have selected nearly 30 different designs which are arriving in the next few days, some of which you'll find in our window and some in a specially designed cabinet inside our shop.

If you would like us to contact you when the watches first arrive so you can have first pick, make sure you email us with your contact details without delay.

As it's cold we thought we'd brighten your weekend with these two beautiful rings, and make it more enticing by offering them with a little bit of a saving.

With a choice of either an Amethyst or a Peridot centre stone surrounded by Diamonds, both rings are in 18ct white gold. Each ring was £795 but you could own one for £595.

Or perhaps you know someone who is looking to treat themselves........

We're visiting the Spring Fair in Birmingham this weekend looking for new and exciting designs for our window. There's so much to see we have decided to shut for the day on Monday 6th. I hope it doesn't cause our clients too many problems and hopefully we'll be able to delight you all with the goodies that we find. Naturally we'll be back open on Tuesday 7th (assuming we're not snowed in)  

Two very large boxes of Lorus watches arrived yesterday. Lots of new designs and many classic favourites. And I'm the lucky guy who gets first sight of everything.

Platinum Fast Facts from Buchanans in Lymington

Did you know that:-

3= The number of Olympic sized swimming pools that would be filled if you melted down all the gold in the world............however, all the worlds platinum would only just cover your ankles in one Olympic sized swimming pool

1km=The length of 1kg of platinum if it was made into a wire

1768=The melting point of platinumin degrees C. This means it requires more skill to work with than gold which melts at 1064c

263,000=The number of platinum items hallmarked in the UK in 2009

1557=The year of the first European reference to platinum made in the writings of Italian humanist Julias Caesar Scaliger

And finally If you melted down all the platinum jewellery sold in the UK into a cube, it would fit into the boot of a mini

A lucky gentleman managed to become the proud owner of our TW Steel that was on offer this weekend. He didn't waste any time and was in our showroom before 10am to make sure that he was that proud owner. Watch out for next weekend's fantastic opportunity to become the owner of something amazing. 

This weekend, we have put this TW Steel on offer in our window. It should be £425 but is now £320. Why don't you pop in and have a look. If you're short on time you can pay for it over the phone and we'll post it to you on Monday. It couldn't be easier!!

Our second floor private viewing area is almost finished. We have designed this comfortable room so that our customers can discuss engagement rings, valuations, commissioned pieces, etc in a more private and relaxed environment over a cup of coffee or tea.

Please come and see us in Lymington High Street.
