A brilliant little shop tucked awway in the Devonshire Arcade right at the bottom. Although it is…read morequite small it has a huge range of gifts and candles. It also stocks a variety of more ethinic jewellery and clothes. I love to visit here just before Christmas as it is perfect for grabbing a few canndles as presents. I also love to browse their selection of candle holders and you can often find something a little bit different that looks gorgeous. They also sell incencse sticks and room fragrances in scents such as the smell of baby powder which is actually quite nice. Their novelty range is fab and they had the little bath ducks that lit up and flashed before anywhere else around here and they made fantastic unusual gifts. Although it is a little bit expensive the quality is very good.

I visited here in search of my engagement ring as Carlisle only had shops that were commercial and I wanted something a bit more special. After having a full consultation where the the owner himself talked us through the different types of settings and stones, and then what the diamond ratings equated to we went away with a lot of food for thought. So much so that we went back the next day and ordered a gorgeous platinum solitaire which was very high on the diamond scale and was going to be made particularly to my finger size which was also a half measure. No altering of another ring here as it was made just for me. It only took two weeks for my ring to be made although it felt like an eternity as I was so excited. I particularly really liked the service we recieved here. There was no pushy selling tactics and we were given all the time in the world to decide which was best. It felt very personal, not like we had just chosen a ring from a shop window as the owner even rang his stone dealer to see what was available just for me. I would definitely recommend this jeweller as they were just brilliant.
