“display prices should include tax + product comparison”
Written on: 10/09/2011
When I go to Hatton Garden, 10/10 times I would go straight to Cookson first. Sometimes it gets so busy though that I'm forced to go somewhere else if I'm in a rush, but the new online website is a great alternative as now I can just order things to be delivered to my studio or to be collected for free when it's convenient for me. I like that on the website I can check current metal prices, and I really think the addition of the filtering system on the drop down menus on the left really... (read more)

Written on: 05/09/2011 by Nanuk
Since I was a student I have been ordering supplies from Cooksons and I have never had any problems with them. My orders always arrive very promptly and matching the descriptions on the website. Some items, particularly findings, are more expensive than other jewellery supplies websites, but I still prefer to use Cooksons because I can be assured of very high quality products, which I know will arrive within a day or two of placing my order. I have been pleased with all the purchases I... (read more)

“What More Could I Want or Need?”
Written on: 26/07/2011 by MrsNos (1 review written)
From the first order to the most recent, I have never been disappointed by Cookson Gold. The quality of their products, their customer service, and the facilities offered through the website are without equal. Before I ordered from Cookson Gold, I had tried other companies that promised lower prices. However, those lower prices came with a cost - late delivery, muddled invoices, etc. My deliveries from Cookson Gold have always been speedy. In addition to the quality of the goods provided...

Written on: 20/07/2011
I brought PMC3 from Cooksongold for the first time over the weekend. The reason why I brought it was because it was on offer (at 10% off) and I was told by one of my colleagues that Cooksongold have an excellent delivery proposition. In fact, I received my order on Tuesday with no problems which is great especially if you need things asap to complete a job. Cooksongold have an easy to use website and provide information on all of their popular products, which is great for those who need... (read more)

I purchased a Jewellery Hand Torch two weeks ago and to my surprise it arrived very quickly!!!!(very next day). The torch was very easy to setup. This was the first time I purchased from Cookson Gold and the site was very easy to navigate and locate the product you're looking for, perfect for someone like me who is not very good with computers and a light internet user.

At the beginning of May, I placed my first order with Cooksongold. I purchased a variety of items and unfortunately, one was not in stock so rather than pay for two lots of delivery, I opted to wait and have all the items delivered on 19th May. My order was delivered on the said date but the one item not previously in stock was not part of the delivery. I have repeatedly emailed Cooksongold and i've not yet had any response.

Smooth delivery at the door. All items where carefully packed and fullfilled my expectations. F.i, I ordered jewelry cases and they were top quality and yet had a resonable price. I also wanted to order silver wire but since I'm ordering from Sweden I have to calculate booth currency and precious metal trade prices. Therefor I would prefer fixed silver price at the website so I can calculate the cost. Anyhow, my circle of frends have similar hobbies and I would recommend Cooksongold to them... (read more)

I have only positive thoughts of Cooksongold to pass on. I have spoken to several of your operatives, when I'm not sure what to order or about sizing of your metals and when I had a problem they even rang me to make sure I had got it right and to inquire if I needed any more help. They go that extra mile to make sure my buying experience with Cooksongold is painless and I end up with exactly what I need. I go to college and have recommended your site to everyone.

People new to jewellery and experts can achieve good results with precious metal clay (PMC 3). You can work the clay with tools you make as well as buy from cookson for a few pound each. It is a good entry level to jewellery making which I have even introduced to my yound children. For myself I love the way I can produce 3 dimensional forms easily and things with complex surface decoration without etching or difficult processes. I would also advise the slow dry art clay too which is evem... (read more)

I have been a cookson customer for several years and you are always my the top of my list for supplies, with particular reference to their range of silver wire and tube. Great service as usual cookson.
