Professional response

The jewelry quality and customer service really stood out to me. I was happy with the communication and felt my concerns were listened to during the process. It was reassuring to have the option to cancel when I was unsure. Honestly a very professional response from erkals.

Avoid – still dealing with the consequences

I bought an item from ERKALS but shortly afterwards decided to cancel the order. I tried calling several times but couldn’t get through, so I also emailed them.

A few days later, ERKALS finally replied. By that point, because I had been unable to contact them, I had already raised a dispute with my credit-card provider. ERKALS told me to withdraw the dispute so they could issue the refund, which I did.

They then told me they couldn’t refund me because the dispute was still showing as active. I contacted my credit-card provider, who confirmed the dispute wasn’t in place and advised me that I would have to raise it again. I am now stuck waiting for the credit-card investigation to be completed. This has been incredibly frustrating and a complete waste of my time. If ERKALS had answered their phone, responded promptly to my email or simply handled the cancellation properly, none of this would have been necessary.

Incredible communication

The communication was incredible, and I appreciated how they handled my concerns. I was unsure about my order, but they gave me the option to cancel which felt fair. That kind of response builds trust.

I've been trying to contact this company before making a purchase for a few weeks now, but ive not heard anything back. Over the weeks I have called multiple times, emailed, instagram messaged and sent a message on the website. Don't feel comfortable making a purchase if i can't even get a response.

Fake Vancleef Braclet

Ordered a Van Cleef bracelet and had it authenticated directly by Van Cleef & Arpels — it turned out to be counterfeit. I managed to get a full refund but it did take sometime.

I was already suspicious because they seemed to have a large number of Van Cleef bracelets available, including pieces I couldn’t find available anywhere else.

Unfortunately, my concerns were justified. I would strongly advise against purchasing Van Cleef jewellery from this seller, as the bracelet I received was not genuine.

Hi Raika, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are genuinely sorry that this situation caused you concern and, most importantly, affected your trust in Erkals Jewellers. We understand that purchasing a luxury piece, especially a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet, requires a great deal of confidence in the seller.

We are a business specialising in pre-owned luxury jewellery, and many of the pieces we offer are sourced through established suppliers and specialist channels. Because we deal primarily in pre-owned items, our inventory can include rare, discontinued, or hard-to-find pieces that may not be readily available through other retailers. This can sometimes make our selection appear unusual compared with traditional retail stores.

That said, we take your concerns about authenticity extremely seriously. We never want a customer to feel uncertain about an item they have purchased from us. We are grateful that the matter was ultimately resolved with a full refund, although we sincerely apologise that the process took longer than you expected.

Customer trust is extremely important to us. We have taken your experience seriously and are reviewing the sourcing and authentication procedures surrounding pre-owned pieces to help prevent situations like this from happening again.

We are sorry that we did not give you the experience and confidence you deserved. Regardless of the outcome of a particular transaction, we value every customer and understand that trust is something that must be earned and protected with every purchase.

Made my custom ring

They made my custom ring and I am honestly so happy with it. The results felt perfect and exactly what I hoped for. Great experience overall, I would happily recommend them to others because the service and final piece left a very good impression on me. It was a purchase I felt excited about from start to finish.

I purchased a van cleef necklace from their website 2 months ago and i had some doubts on the authenticity of the item. I emailed them and they accepted that i send the item back even if the return date had passed which i’m grateful they did! The whole process took more than a month but in the end i got my full refund and they were really understanding of my situation! They always gave me updates and i didn’t feel left out during this process.

I sent various emails and called about an item they were slow to reply and they never answer the phone - I then read these reviews - thank god I did as I won’t be buying from them
Hi,

Thanks for the response, but I have to push back on this.

I sent three separate emails, not one. You replied to the first, and then went silent on the following two — so this wasn't a case of messages "not reaching you." You received at least one, and simply stopped responding after that.

On top of that, I called two days ago and left my details, and I still haven't had a call back. So I'm not sure how you can say you've been unable to locate any correspondence from me.

I've now ordered elsewhere!
Thanks for your reply but you aren't be honest again - for your records I emailed on Friday 10 July - no reply. I chased on Thursday 16 - no reply. I left a voicemail on Monday 20 July - all during working hours.

Hi George,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. We take customer communication seriously and aim to respond to all genuine enquiries as promptly as possible. However, after reviewing our records, we have been unable to locate any emails or enquiries matching the details provided in your review.

It's possible that your message may not have reached us or was sent from a different email address. We'd be grateful if you could contact us directly at info@erkalsjewellers.com with your details so we can investigate this further.

We value every customer and are always happy to assist. We hope you'll give us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Hi,

Thank you for your follow-up, and we sincerely apologise for your experience.

After reviewing our records again using your name, we were able to locate your emails. We're sorry that we didn't respond to your follow-up messages or return your voicemail. Unfortunately, your enquiry came through over the weekend when our office was closed, and we experienced a high volume of emails when we reopened. Regrettably, your messages were overlooked, and we understand how frustrating that must have been.

We completely appreciate why you chose to purchase elsewhere, and we're genuinely sorry that we missed the opportunity to assist you. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we are reviewing our processes to help prevent this from happening again.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we wish you all the best with your purchase.

Buyer Beware: Authentication Concerns and a Difficult International Return

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after this experience, I feel obligated to share it so others can make an informed decision.

In my experience, the item I received was not an authentic Van Cleef & Arpels piece. After receiving it, I contacted one of my Van Cleef & Arpels points of contact, who reviewed the accompanying paperwork and advised that the year and location listed were not consistent with the serial number. I also had the piece examined by an independent jeweler, who concluded that it was not an 18K gold piece as represented.

The return process was equally concerning. Initially, Erkal's insisted that I arrange and pay for the international return shipping and insurance myself. Shipping an item worth nearly $11,000 from the U.S. to the U.K. with full insurance proved to be extremely difficult, if not impossible, through the carriers I contacted.

Fortunately, I contacted my bank before proceeding. They advised me that, under the circumstances of my dispute, the merchant should provide the return shipping label. After further discussions, Erkal's did provide a return label & insured, but the shipment was not fully insured for the full value of the item, which created significant stress while returning such an expensive purchase.

My financial institution ended up provisioning the credit and resolving the case in my favor thankfully.

My advice to anyone considering purchasing from this company is to exercise extreme caution. If you decide to buy, have the item independently authenticated immediately upon receipt, carefully verify any accompanying documentation, and fully understand the return process before making a high-value international purchase. I wish I had researched other customer experiences more thoroughly beforehand, as it may have saved me a tremendous amount of time, stress, and uncertainty.

Purchased 5/8/26 resolved 7/15/26.

Dear Yvette,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We'd like to clarify a few points for accuracy.

Authenticity Concerns: We take authenticity extremely seriously and stand behind every item we sell. We understand that you sought independent opinions regarding your purchase, and we respect your right to do so. As part of the chargeback process, we submitted all relevant documentation supporting the item to your card issuer for review.

Return process: Our standard returns process requires customers to arrange the return shipment. However, after discussing your concerns, we provided you with a DHL return label, which you used to return the item. You also emailed us the DHL receipt, waybill, and later the proof of delivery confirming the parcel had been successfully returned.

Shipping and insurance: We understand that returning a high-value international item can be stressful. Once your concerns were raised, we worked with you to facilitate the return by providing the DHL shipping label so the parcel could be sent back to us.

Refund Process: After the return was in transit, a chargeback had already been opened with your bank. Once a chargeback is active, merchants are generally unable to issue a separate refund directly, as doing so could result in a duplicate reimbursement. We explained this throughout our email correspondence and fully cooperated with your financial institution while awaiting their decision.

We appreciate that this was a lengthy process and understand your frustration. Although we're disappointed we couldn't resolve the matter directly due to the active chargeback, we respected the bank's process and cooperated fully until it reached its conclusion.

We wish you all the best and thank you for your feedback.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your order arrived later than expected and understand how frustrating the lack of updates must have been.

We'd like to clarify that your order was successfully delivered on 7 July 2026 via Royal Mail. Unfortunately, this was later than the original estimated delivery date, and we sincerely apologize for the delay.

We're also sorry that you were unable to reach us by phone and that your emails did not receive a timely response. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we've been working to improve our response times to ensure better communication with our customers.

We appreciate your patience and your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve. We hope you're now enjoying your purchase, and if there's anything further we can assist you with, our team would be happy to help.

Outstanding Jewellery and Customer Service

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Jewellery and Customer Service

I cannot recommend Erkals Jewellers highly enough.

I had been waiting for the Clover Stud Earrings in White Mother of Pearl to come back into stock for quite some time. I sent an email to enquire and received a prompt, friendly and genuinely helpful response from the team confirming they were available again.

The customer service was exceptional, but what keeps me coming back is the jewellery itself. The quality is incredible, the pieces are beautifully made, and they look far more expensive than they are. Every item I have purchased has exceeded my expectations.

As soon as I received the restock email, I immediately ordered two pairs of the Clover Stud Earrings, another pair of studs and a matching necklace. That probably says everything you need to know!

It’s rare to find a company that combines beautiful jewellery, excellent quality, reasonable prices and outstanding customer service. I am already excitedly waiting for my latest order to arrive and I’m sure it won’t be my last purchase.

Thank you to the whole Erkals team. You have gained a customer for life.
