There are a lot of jewellers in this part of town: Glossop's High St West is full of them. E Fielding & Son is very quiet - so much so that when you enter you feel like you are intruding, though I'm sure the proprietors would love a little more custom.
The jewellers is family owned and dates back to a whopping 1875 - such knowledge as fine metals and gems passed down from generation to generation is a delectable thought and the staff here (Fielding or no) do not let the side down.
They have much more expertise than I ever did when I worked in a shop selling jewellery (not strictly a jewellery shop, but still). And this is a comforting thing for such a shopping experience as buying something partly for its monetary value, worth its weight in gold and all that. By the way they do a cash for gold service here if you don't want to send off yours in an envelope to scary advert people. Less hassle all round.
E Fielding has plenty of fine necklaces and rings, which they specialise in. And watches, one of my personal weaknesses. Definitely worth a browse for a nice pendant; something simple that will add to an outfit subtly rather than take all the attention away from it, for instance. read more
