Perhaps Charmed and Buffy saw that trend flying into my high school, and I distinctly remember my then best friend's room looking not unlike this shop. Shops like Enchantment are becoming fewer and further between, but it's nice that this one still does well. There are little pewter ornaments of delicate garden sprites, elves and fairies lining the shelves of this place, and dangling from the ceiling in abundance. If you're into pixies, healing stones and a touch of magic, then you'll like it. My mum likes ornaments like these and it's a great wee resource not too far from the Royal Mile if you're looking for an impish wee pressie. It's a nice change from seeing green ornaments in the shape of Loch dwelling monsters.

I can imagine this place would be ideal for people who are into alternative healing therapies with their range of crystals on offer and the whole shop has a very peaceful, tranquil feel to it. It's a little bit different to your average shop and I can't see myself ever needing anything from it but if fairy's float your boat, then why not?

Take your time when you go in because there are so many stones and ring types to choose from. You could spend hours there. The owner finds all the stones himself. It's just a really cool shop. It's a small space so it may get a little crowded and the attendants may ask you to pause your shopping because they can't see what everyone is doing. My quartz ring was £72, and I'm absolutely in love.

The shop stocks Ortak and Heathergem to name a couple of brands, and I like the Heathergem earrings in particular, with stones coloured from heather stems, so each one is unique. They range from £10 right up to £100 plus, so there is something for everyone. Great wee shop to pick up some traditional Scottish jewellery.

As I have said in other reviews, I have a soft spot for Sheila Fleet jewellery and they have an excellent selection here.

Marshalls looks like a traditional, older fashioned jewellery store from the exterior but you may…read morebe pleasantly surprised. I had mistakingly thought it looked a bit outdated, but they've got some lovely, delicate looking rings for as little as a tenner, Ortak necklaces and an interesting collection of second hand gold charms. A lot of their styles will appeal to older generations, but there are contemporary pieces if you look hard enough. Marshalls is also a functioning store that polishes, mends, customises pieces and engraves on request. The business is a Jack of all trades in that respect, but for the casual browser there are both timeless, modern and unusual trinkets to suit a variety of clinetele.

They sell a vast range of beautiful contemporary jewellery, which is really expensive, but absolutely gorgeous. I came in here last year to look for a birthday present for myself and felt completely overwhelmed by all the huge selection of gifts available. I bought the most amazing silver bracelet, which was expensive, but so worth as it is of excellent quality and I wear it all the time. The staff in this store are always incredibly friendly and highly professional and are able to answer all of your questions. A truly wonderful jewellery store with gorgeous stock- can't wait till the day that I can afford their more expensive gifts!

My fiancée tried on a gorgeous silver necklace from a 1940s/50s contemporary of Frida Kahlo, and provided us with a packet of documentation proving it. After buying the piece (it looks amazing on her) we looked up the jewelry designer and found that, frankly, they could have been charging a lot more for the necklace.

Granted I've realized how small Edinburgh is, so to any passably active person it won't really make a difference. Palenque is a store for anyone who'd like their jewellery to have some personality! I think it's quite special because it manages to achieve this without being very expensive, or so cheap it breaks after a few hours (I've had this experience with quirky "bargains" before. They sell all sorts of pendants, necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets etc with pearls, crystal, stone and enamel. I'm a big fan of the pendants, but I'm still frustrated at not having found the kind of ring I'm looking for i.e pretty, not the size of a golf ball etc.. Otherwise, they're lots of pieces I'd happily add to my wishlist. This store is a little smaller than the one on Rose Street, and they sometimes get different stock so it could be fun to compare.

There are also some lovely silver and gold pieces too, from a range of different national and international designers, and also small, up and coming designers too, so there's a good chance you'll get something unique, or a one-off. The different coloured bangles from Block are really cool, and if you want something a bit different and a bit edgy for your wedding/engagement ring, that definitely looks the part without conforming too much to tradition, then there's a lot to choose from here.
