This…read morejewellers has lots to offer, as you'll notice from their windows, and has a range of items that would suit most customers. At the time of browsing they had an excellent offer of half price on some of their antique rings - which are my favourite to browse - and I was truly spoiled for choice. They had all manner of precious gems within a variety of jewellery items, including topaz, amethyst, garnets and more! They also had some more specialist items, such as charms for charm bracelets - cute little zebras, keys, planes and little birds. They, as do all jewellery shops now, purchase your gold for cash and they also offer a great repair service on your jewellery and watch items. They fit batteries while you wait too, which is great as my watches seem cursed to die all too often! A lovely little jewellers in one of the best towns to shop, Otley.

As gift shops go I was under the impression that the idea was to fill them with enticing and…read moreinteresting items, but this is not how The Gift Gallery appear to be doing things. To begin with the shop, which is really rather small, is rather empty. Perhaps they were due a restock, but I almost didn't bother going inside as I could barely see anything, except that I was duty bound to finding a gift for a friend! For the most part what they did sell were what seemed like hand made candles of varying sizes and colours, quirky greetings cards that were hand made in store, woolen type items and some jewellery (minimal) and a small collection of smellies. Nothing took my fancy, and I was literally in and out. It was a bit embarrassing too, since the poor shop girl (who didn't really seem interested) had to watch me go in, look around, and leave in the space of 180 seconds. Still, I said thanks at least.

However, The Wharf manages just fine to fit into a more boutique style gift store, which means it offers something a little different to the other shops. It has a range of really cool handbags, which aren't particularly to my interest, some pretty cool gift cards and really classy looking silver jewellery. As well as that there were a few really nice looking vases, but unfortunately, nothing really quite 'me' enough to open my purse. Still, if it sounds like your kind of thing then perhaps it would be worth the visit!

There are interesting handbags, and a small selection of boutique cards. Nothing particularly inspired me in here I am more of a fan of chunky 'ethnic' style jewellery and since I passed up the opportunity of bulk buying in India I try not to look too closely at what is available here because I simply have to kick myself.

Delacy Jewellery is a jewellery shop with character. The jewellery here is bold and brash, with…read morelong chunky jewel-encrusted rings that would probably take up half a finger, gold clown pendants, St. Christopher pendants and rings, chunky gold chains and hoop earrings and a wide variety of rings and chains that appear to be aimed at men, with a chunky, angular appearance. This is not an aesthetic that would appeal to everyone, in fact it probably only appeals to a minority of people for whom gold 'bling' has a particular appeal - whether genuine or ironic - or possibly to some Travellers, for whom St. Christopher is the Patron Saint. I happen to love its brashness and I think it adds character to the range of shops on offer in the market and helps to ensure that Leeds Market appeals to as many different cultures, tastes and people as possible.

Now the name here really sets this place up for a fall; if you ask me, it wasn't the brightest idea…read moreto use a very distinct adjective for a shop name, lest every item within be judged by that defined standard. As it happens, Posh has a few posh bits and a few not-so-posh bits inside. Forget the name for a moment and you can judge the clothing on its own merit. There were some really very delightful knits inside, mostly fitted lengthy cardigans, which were really very stylish. The wool was very soft and the fit of them was really quite nice. They also had one or two really unique jackets, the sort that in a vintage shop you might immediately flock to as it looks a little bit different. I was really quite interested in looking at those bits - the price was also good news, as the items were reasonably cheap. Happy days. However, not all the things inside were so great, there were lots of filler garments that whilst they balanced out the display of the nicer pieces, really stood out as being that little bit bland by comparison. I suppose my overall verdict was that there were definitely a few nice things inside, but knowing that there were hoards of charity and one-off style shops within spitting distance, I saved my pennies for them. The lady, although sharing a bit of an awkward 'I'm-the-only-customer-in-here' moment with me, was really quite lovely and smiley too. So all in all, nice but not the nicest.

There's a morbid curiosity bubbling up inside me where-by I want to touch the clothes but know doing so will cause a unpleasant sensation inside me. Anyhow, if you know people after flowing garments that are slightly over-priced this could be for you.
