A fantastic jewellery shop in the heart of Bournemouth…read more If you love silver you need to look at this place. It has a fantastic range of earings, bracelets and necklaces, rings and toe rings. A lot of the jewellery is made with gems so there's a whole range of colours to choose from. Some are dainty and some are quite exuberant, and all points in between. The prices are very good too, in my opinion. At the back of the shop you start seeing polished stones as items on their own and then there's incense and burners and natural oils and all sorts of 'new age' type items. There are also some really interesting books on sale. The shop is busy, students from overseas find it, au pairs find it, everyone finds it. The service is good.
