The entrance is from the carpark and there are a few dedicated parks if you are just in and out. As for the jewellery range it is huge and the staff are friendly and know what they're talking about. This place also fixes pieces and creates gorgeous pieces. A purchase made for my wedding anniversary had to be collected a few weeks later, and upon collecting they gave me a decent bottle of sparkling white (Bird in Hand) to celebrate with my husband. When our actual anniversary day came a beautiful flower arrangement was delivered to our home congratulating us on 25 years. It made us both feel so special even though I was the lucky jewellery recipient. I Iove this place!

Bling just aint my thang! I am definately not the type to drape gold jewellery all over my 'Adonis'…read morelike body, but if I were I would more than likely go nuts at Class A Jewellers. This is not your, pick up a cheap bit o' shiny for the missus, kind of place. If you don't have an appointment you have to wait to be buzzed in at the heavily fortified door, before being strip searched and anally probed. Ok, so the last two things don't actually happen, but I bet you clenched your cheeks when you read them! Inside you will find a huge selection of rings, chains and countless other sun reflecting objects that will cause any member from the cast of Jersey Shores to go Oh Moi Gud! I have infact made purchase from Class A before, as have many members of my family. The selection of time pieces (that's what us posh people call watches) is pretty darn impressive, and you can certainly spend a lot of "time" choosing one (sorry).

I don't get things dry cleaned too often and expected to pay about $6 to get a silk dress…read moredrycleaned so i was a bit taken a back by the $22 quote. However I went ahead with it and they did a good job. The place is clean and tidy and the woman who served me businesslike and kinda amused by my horror at the price. I'm out of touch so it seems.

I've only brought from here once, but my experience was great…read more I found the staff very helpful and friendly, not at all pushy and I didn't feel rushed. I was looking for a birthday present for my mum, so after browsing through the store I found a necklace that I thought would be perfect. The best thing was it was on sale. Mum loved the necklace, and I'd be more than happy to shop here again (or for my husband to buy me something nice...).

Clarke is one of those jewellers I will happily venture into again…read more The staff are friendly, especially Barbara. She had a lot of time for me. I think it was my english accent. Yes that's it, I remember her saying how she could listen to me for hours.... Looking at diamonds, the selection was good and the price was reasonable for the location. The master jeweller was always available on the other end of the phone in the workshop, commenting on how easily or not you could customise the diamond rings. I didn't buy from here in the end, but I would highly recommend you have a look. Quality and value.

They helped me choose an opal which was such a fun process, and the ring was ready to pick up a few days later! The opal is absolutely stunning and the setting is perfect. This shop is always so friendly and welcoming, and has really high quality standards. I just recently had my fiance's wedding band made by them even though I was still in the States. It came out exactly as I imagined and the turn around was really quick again. It is the perfect compliment to my engagement ring. Thank you so much Tim and Steve! I will cherish these pieces forever!

I am what you can call a regular customer, but it´s a bit far between visits since I live in…read moreSweden. I´ve been here 2004 buying nice opal earrings for my wife. I went down under again 2016 and bought another couple of earrings and they too were higly appreciated Everytime service and prices are excellent, no annoying salespersons forcing themselves on me but just polite, calm and professional service - Well done! When I'm back in Adelaide I'll sure visit you again!

What an amazing jewellers!. When you enter this store you have to look carefully to actually work…read moreout if you are in the right place, with it's Zebra inspired carpet and wooden framed,(but still modern) display cabinets. This, apparently, is the effect that the designer wanted to create and it has worked. The only drawback with the stock being a little too well hidden is that if you don't know what you are looking for, you may just well walk out. However, it is worth persevering, when I went there with my daughter to look for earrings, the staff couldn't be more helpful and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble, and, being the only ones in the shop we had three lovely ladies attending to us. The other thing I loved about this shop is that the staff were very down to earth for such an upmarket jewellers. The jewellery itself is lovely and mainly of the more modern variety. You can buy some pieces for as little as $40 and, of course if you have a special occasion or a larger budget, there is a good range of tasteful, modern jewellery.

In Vogue Op Shop on Belair Road Hawthorn is in the beautiful old Vogue theatre…read more Run by volunteers, this store makes good use of the various rooms which play host to homewares, books, some furniture and limited clothes. The staff make a great efforts to display popular items which they change regularly and they will leave you to browse or offer assistance if requested. I picked up a brand-new pair of brand name jeans for my son for five dollars and have bought beautiful vases here.

I love independents jewellers for their manufacturing. But my dealings with Wishart take a…read moredifferent turn. My necklace (or gold chain) I used to wear around a lot broke a few months ago. The hook broke and I couldn't wear it anymore. My girlfriend at the time wasn't too upset. She thought the chain made me look like a wog. (And, to her credit, it kind of did.) But it was a gift from my godfather for my baptism, and I've always liked it. So, after splitting with that girl, I thought it was as good a time as any to get my old gold chain fixed. I'd mainly been putting it off for expense. I didn't think it would cost TOO much, but I couldn't be sure. Finally, biting the figurative bullet, I went for it. It turns out, it wasn't even really broken. Something had just come a little loose, and I'd wedged it the wrong way. I still don't really understand the particulars of the situation. All I know is the brilliant staff at Wishart gave it one look, gave it a few prods, returned it to me on the spot, and charged nothing. I will be returning.

15/1/2012 Yep - You've charmed me, alright…read more Let me give you a bloke's perspective on this place: This store just gets better and better the longer you look around - if you ever take a trip down to City Cross, you must drop by here. There are several pieces that will make anyone, regardless of their gender, make you say WOW! A word of warning, the bigger, shinier and better it looks, obviously the higher the price. The ones I was impressed with were simply out of my league. I'm talking about the 'Thomas Sabo' brand of jewellery on display in their front window! But here's the thing...you need to give The Charm Shop some time to soak in. They strategically place the best jewels in the front window, and I couldn't help myself but ask the shop assistant to take it out for a closer look - it's up to you, and how much you can afford. You can either just look around, or buy some of the more affordable pieces. How low can you go? How low....can you go? Your eyes will really enjoy looking through each window! If you're good, you'll find a certain window with the lowest prices, and I heard the shop assistant tell me what sounded like music to my ears: 10 DOLLARS. What? Say that again? 10 dollars for that?! Can that piece of jewellery really be priced that low?! So there you have it, The Charm Shop has some of the cutest and tiniest jewelry for under $11! This is a very interesting store that will suit all customers, no matter how much they got to spend! Another thing I really liked about this store was that they had jewellery made in Australia, but also tiny bits of jewellery imported from other countries i.e., USA, Canada, UK etc. It's also a very excellent place to go to if you're stuck for gift ideas for your female companion. The shop assistant educated me and said I have to start off choosing a bracelet first, and then adding the jewels to that. Listen, everyone, if you need affordable jewellery, this shop will charm the pants (including your wallet) off of you.

Another specialty shop, and these people specialise well!…read more I went to every single gift and jewellery store in a major shpping centre looking for something specific. You see I gave a BFF of mine a charm bracelet as a gift not long after we met. It was to make my life in gift deciding much easier and for her to have something that got bigger and better with time, as our friendship would. Ahhhh, how sentimental! So each birthday, Xmas, special event I buy her another charm for the bracelet. At Xmas I got a cute present charm, her cat died so I got a cat charm, etc. It was her 40th birthday so I wanted a 40th type charm, not just any one, to represent the milestones we have been through together. Not one anywhere. In the end a lovely helpful sales assistant made some suggestions, and one was this shop. I found exactly what I wanted. Funny I couldn't get one from anywhere and I found about 5 online. I rarely ever go into the city anymore so the fact you can also order online and get your item/s delivered is even better. You even get to choose what type of hook / clasp you want for your purchase. I always buy the same type so it means I can get any charm they sell and pick my own attachment, whereas most shops you can only pick from the ones with that attachment already on them.
