Treasure trove! Noreen's has the most exquisite silver jewellery, set with glittering gems and…read morepearls. There are hand tooled earrings and necklaces, enamel ware, funky handpainted pendants, bracelets, anklets, rings for fingers and toes and heaps more. I never visit Point Lookout without dropping in to see what gorgeous tablecloths, paintings, wall hangings, ornaments and shells are on show, but my favourite thing of all is to browse through the lovely beachwear. There are always discounted dresses, tops and shorts on the racks outside and I always must have something. Today I bought a fabulous shell hanging and some earrings, at prices that will surprise. Can't resist.

When I'm on Straddie I tend to pop in to Noreen's to scratch this itch. I browse through everything, but tend to settle on a sarong or a hat. There's a lovely range and it's a beautifully welcoming little shop that's well worth whiling away some island time in.

Being a bit of a rockhead, I've had a couple of rings designed around stones that we've bought at the gem shows and overseas. One in particular is a work of art. That's fairly high end stuff, but I've also bought reasonably priced jewellery and watches here as gifts and had my own repaired more than once. It's a great, friendly family run business.

When I came across a rather dismal looking shopping arcade with a sign suggesting stores were…read morehidden within, I didn't expect much. However the very first shop I came across surprised me pleasantly. It's only a tiny jewellery store, there's no way Brangelina and their brood could fit in here. But their jewellery appealed precisely to my taste; a lot of dainty silver and colourful glass beads. They do have a website but it does the store absolutely no justice. You really need to visit the shop to see what this place is all about. So next time you're in Paddington and happen to stumble across a mysterious arcade, venture down and pay this shop a visit.

I didn't not much care for the exterior or interior design of this little jewellery store, but I…read morehave to say I was pleasantly surprised at their stock. This is probably only because I had rather low expectations to begin with, and I'm certainly not saying it was a place I enjoyed immensely, but the jewellery was dainty and fine, to suit a range of styles and tastes. So often jewellery stores in shopping squares like this lack a great deal of promise, but this one manages to lift itself above others, if only a little.

The dark timber used throughout the shop sets off the glass cabinets full of artfully displayed necklaces, earrings, and any other adornment you can think of. Everything is displayed beautifully; each item has been placed carefully in odd positions to keep things interesting, while beautiful flowers have been used to add a little extra something. It's not a very big shop, but they've got lovely stuff and when you're inside you forget you're in a bustling shopping centre.

One of my favourite pairs of earrings is a Stephen Dibb original and I love wearing them. This shop…read moreis bit out of my price range, but I could be cheap... Probably hand crafted stirling silver earrings with onyx drops for about $100 isn't so bad, but as a general rule I can't afford any of the pieces with more precious stones, although many are exquisite. I bought another pair there for a gift for about the same price, and they too were an original design so I was happy to spend that for twisted sterling silver drops. Stephen Dibb sends out a glossy and gorgeous booklet about once a year and the designs are truly beautiful. It's also interesting that he tells us he buys his gems ethically and supports a village in Africa, inviting us to help him too, so that's a good reason to support the store if you're in Cleveland anytime.

They have gorgeous diamonds, gems and pearls for all occasions. There are some truly beautiful coloured gemstones, delicate cuts and impressive rings. They seem to have a focus on engagement rings and helping the average guy pick the perfect one. They are very service and quality oriented. Definitely go if you are looking for something special and a bit different.

Rock collecting is something I've done since I was a pup. I used to collect rocks that looked like…read morehearts, miniature grave stones, or just ones with cool patterns in them. The Rock Shop on Adelaide Street is home to many semi precious stones. Some are for sale, but most of them are actually just on display. It's more like a small museum than a shop. Any person with a minor interest in geology would like to go in here. They've got your unpolished and polished versions of most stones. The malachite and lapis lazuli are particularly enchanting. There's a stone called 'Ribbon Rock' which while not sounding very scientific does represent the rock well. There's rocks that have patterns that make one think of outer space and star dust. Then there's the psychedelic ones. Trippy, star burst kind of stones of all sorts of colours. The staff in store know their stones. They can explain to you why a particular rock will have red in the centre and then change into yellow, and then to green. They'll blind you with their science. They spend most of their time selling rock ornaments and jewellery to people, but they are more than happy to talk rocks with anyone who is interested. If you're like me, you'll just go in to ogle the pretty colours and patterns in the rocks.

When I was but a wee thing I made my mother buy the (now…read moredefunct) fossicker weekly. Each week a new semi-precious gem would be added and before I knew it I was hooked on those mineraloids. Fill of gems and jewels this store would make any fellow rockhead whoop for joy. From garnets and amethysts to tigers eyes, crystals and pearls. The rock shop has you covered. This place also boasts some of the best range of Opals I've seen (Be sure to check out the QLD boulder opal displays) as well as offering up some beautiful jewellery to display them in. So the next time you have an itch for some unpolished gems (or some apology pearls) I highly recommend you pay these guys a visit.
