There aren't many little, old-fashioned jewelry stores like this around anymore. They are like…read moremagnets to Mrs G (me to a lesser degree!). We found a beautiful, unique pre-owned gold charm at the oldest jewelers in the UK (Parsons in Bristol) a few years ago. So of course we had to look here too and success! In this lovely old (122 years) store right in the center of Manchester she found another unique piece. Obviously a tiny store like this doesn't have the broad selection of jewelry typical of a national chain - but they do have unique pre-owned pieces! Review #118 2019

Do not sell or buy here. I took jewelry in to sell and was offered £450 for the lot. I particularly…read moreasked about a ring for which i was given £55 . I was told the stone was glass and chipped and it would be melted down for the gold. The bracelet was sold for £165. Thinking i was being dealt with fairly and thinking that the company had integrity i sold the items. Imagine how disappointed i was when i looked in the window a couple of weeks later and saw the ring priced at £295 and the bracelet priced at £895. I went into the shop and questioned the extortionate price increase. No reasonable explanation was given. The manager offered to sell me back the two items which i was willing to do but when he pulled the receipt out he hadn't itemised the pieces sold and would only sell for £450. I was unwilling to do this as it would have meant the giving the other items away for nothing. Was the reciept deliberately vague to counter complaints such as mine? Makes me wonder. I feel as if i have been dealt with in a very underhand manner. I'd never really understood the meaning of daylight robbery before. I do now! I would advise anyone from buying or selling from Arthur Kay. They lack integrity and decency and you'd be better going elsewhere. I expected more from an established family company. Shame on you!

I'd been putting off going into this shop until a friend of mine came to visit yesterday, as it's…read morenot the kind of place you'd take your straight, male, other half. Thunder Egg is filled with hundreds of gorgeously girly treats, from shiny handbags and purses, beautifully illustrated birthday cards and cool clothing, to vintage style photo frames, cute costume jewellery and chintzy home ware. You could easily spend a fortune here as it's one of those shops that leaves you believing you absolutely, positively HAVE to have that polkadot nail file or that coaster that says 'P*** OFF' on it, so I'd suggest leaving your credit card at home if you own one. Despite visiting this shop only a matter of hours ago, I'm already extremely eager to go back. Oh, and I discovered they stock official Moomin products (I love the Moomins)! Arrrrrrrgh! I feel a serious obsession coming on... HELP!!!

Got to be honest, I'm actually getting pretty sick of bleating on about how quirky, quaint and…read morefolksy every shop in the Northern Quarter is. I'm not a fucking pixie. I'm not setting up home with an elf. I'm not planning a vacation in Narnia- I don't need bricka brack, I don't need keepsakes, I don't need fecking chintz- that's why it's called chintz, if it was any use to me it would be called 'the essentials'!! The NQ has sold us a hippy dream that can never be. Being a boho mash head who sits in coffee shops talking about Neil Young, collects dolls and Japanese backpacks and is generally too arty to care about 'the system maaan' is an expensive past time so either these fakers are secretely high flying lawyers or daddy is a patient and giving man because the good ol' NQ is one of the most expensive and business minded monsters in Manchester! Sell me a dream I can achieve Thunder Egg!!
