Downstairs, you can buy anything from sweets and toiletries to handbags, toasters and artificial flowers! Pop upstairs and you can browse through a good selection of furniture, lighting, pictures and more! Only downside is if you have young children with you, there is no public lift, so you either have to ask someone to mind the buggy and carry your youngster upstairs or give upstairs a miss. Their seasonal department towards the rear of the groundfloor changes from gardening in the spring/summer to halloween/christmas in autumn/winter. Always loads of choice no matter what you are looking to buy.

What girl could possibly resist such a charming jewellery shop? Eh, not me anyway…read more The Silver Store isn't your Lunns / Joseph Rea type jewellery store, mainly because the jewellery isn't the top end, exorbitant kind, but also because of its quaintness, as well as its chilled atmosphere. You could just drift around all day, imagining that ring on your finger, or that necklace around your neck...sigh. The Silver Store is one of the jewellery shops you know you'll find something you like. There is everything you could possibly want - costume jewellery in the most beautiful colours, sterling silver stack rings, fascinators, scarves, tiaras...the list goes on. The tiaras were of particular interest, as my sister had decided she wanted one for her formal (next year mind you, but it pays to be organised), so we had a wee nosey at this stunning range. Oohs and aaahs from my sister said it all really...such dazzling jewellery. Meanwhile, my brother waited patiently outside, knowing that this sort of shop really wasn't his scene. With no mens jewellery, it definitely is one for the girls. Heaven really.

Christmas times and Birthdays tend to mean a piece of jewellery from The Silver Store and ah, how I look forward to them. *Heart* Nearly every item in this small but exquisitve shop is crafted to perfection. It's really hard to come in here and not leave without buying something, so I have to hold back from visiting too often. I've been bought some real (methaphorical) gems from here. It's located in the charming and peaceful Scotch Quarter area in The Courtyard, Carrickfergus. There are also some great shops in this area so check them out if you're around here, oh and keep an eye out for the resident moggy who comes and goes as he pleases, so very sweet! The Silver Store sells all sorts of jewellery and not only in silver as the name would sugest. They offer; wedding rings (made to order), jewellery and accessories, antiques and diamonds, engagement rings, bridal jewellery and tiaras, handbags, hats and scarves.

During sale time you can pick up lots of bargains, with most basic items being priced at £1 or under, with t-shirts sometimes costing you 25p! Great news in a poor economic climate eh?

They have a number of window displays, such as offers within the shop, along with notices from the public, like items for sale, lost and found, and so on.
