It's a proper who dunnit..........Buchanans Jewellers in Lymington spills the beans

2012-02-20T14:49:32+00:00

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.

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.
