Ok
I took a look at your site
Specifically to SEO - if you paid someone to do this then you should ask for your money back
 
The same keywords for instance is on every page, keywords should be relevent to the content of the page else it will downgrade you
Page titles should be used to better benefit and tied into keywords for your site.
Page descriptions are the same for every page - this is bad
The "MrSite" sites run in a frame this will make SEO very difficult - I would hate to try and SEO that site

If you look at the cource code of your page ( this is what Google will see )
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><HEAD><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /><TITLE> Fingerprint jewellery </TITLE></HEAD><FRAMESET border=0 frameborder=0 framespacing=0 ROWS="0, *"><FRAME SRC="../page2.htm" scrolling="no"><FRAME SRC="http://www.mrsite.co.uk/pprouk/cart.asp?domain=preciouslittleprints.co.uk&isblack=True&siteid=preciouslittleprintsco.uk&page=1890867&sitepage=2"></FRAMESET></HTML>


Your site also fails to comply with a number of consumer and online trading regulations which will affect your conversion rate.

Hi, thanks for taking a look.  I am wondering after what you said about Mr Site it may be worth not paying anyone else to do anymore SEO on the website and waiting for renewal and in the mean time going down the PPC route not ideal.

Where might i find information on what consumer and online trading regulations i am not complying with as that is a bit of a worry.

Thanks again for taking a look and your help

There is a few threads on here about terms and conditions and the like
 
Looking at your site you have inadequate terms along with an inadequate DSR policy, you also need a privacy policy
One glaring ommission was the lack of company and business address which is a legal requirement

Like many starting out or moving from a hobby to a business you have to realise you have stuck your head above the consumer law Parapet - the lack of proper terms and DSR regulations will open you up to scammers as well as being illegal. While many customers wont be interested terms are singly the most important part of your site, this is your contract between you and the buyer by failing to define properly you bring in a lot of "defaults" which ALWAYS favour the consumer.

I will openly admit i am not a lover of the MrSite type sites and really this is the first time i have looked at one in respect of SEO - TBH I really cant see how it could be properly SEO'd and I would suspect this is why you are not seeing the results you want - however your "SEO company" should have informed you of this
I often get accused of being too blunt so dont take my posts the wrong way I just tend to be straight with people but I am willing to impart my experience in any way to help budding businesses out - my real strengths are in hosting, domains, commercial law ( now in my 17th year) but I am far from an SEO expert

Unless I am totally wrong I would suggest you dont pay out for any more SEO work - if you dont have a sitemap file done then thats something i would suggest you do - however i am unsure as to how this will work within the Mr Site structure

I'v just had a wee look at the site, there is an xml sitemap on there, there's no robots.txt file though and some parts of the site do have visible text in the source, like the main page but the product pages dont, they use frame sets.

so there has been SEO work done on the site, but as scotserve said the site structure doesnt lend its self to being search engine friendly
