I love browsing old antique shops. I rarely buy anything, but I love the feeling that hundreds of…read moreyears of history are in one room. Antiques on High has the proper smell of old things and has an interesting range of antiques. Rather than focusing on big pieces of furniture, which so many antique shops do, it uses its space wisely to host: Jewellery, books, records, clothes, ornaments, pictures, maps and various collectables. The condition of the goods varies, but they're priced fairly reasonably. I find it's best to go in without the aim of buying something in particular, but just to browse. I can't say anything has ever caught my eye enough to want to buy it, but I've seen plenty of other people who have found the perfect addition to their home or the ideal gift. The best bit is the craft section, where there's a gallery of jewellery, leather, pottery, glass and art in general, all produced locally and all promising to be valuable antiques in the future. There's a great range in here and you can get something for less than a pound or spend hundreds of pounds. Equally, you can pop in for a few minutes or spend hours browsing - it's almost like a mini museum. If you like antique shops, this won't disappoint; if you've never been in one, try approaching it. Don't be put off by the prison-like bars in the windows; the staff are friendly and it's a different world inside.

The stock is fairly traditional, though I did notice some really pretty dangly earrings with giant rhinestones set in fancy gold surrounds. They also sell some ornaments and little trinkets.

The jewellery sets come as a whole set (including posh necklace, earrings, and bangles) or you can just purchase the one off items. They've had a nice refurb since my last visit, and the place looks a lot nicer. Always haggle a little in here, as you can usually get a discount. A great shop, and good customer service considering that they have a lot of competition on this busy shopping road. If you do plan on spending some time here, then best park round the corner by the S N D Supermarket, as the road and side roads are too busy.

As the materials are real and the range is so diverse the item could be personalised to suit the person's style, I think every penny spent is worth it. It's safe to say they cater to all celebrations and would make a great gift or even a personal treat. To me a lot of jewellers offer the same thing; good service and great products that are sometimes expensive. Cheshire Jewellers go the extra mile by offering a polite customer service, free packaging, fourteen day return, valuation and shipping within five to ten working days. It's clear from the way the staff talk about the items and care for them that they have an extensive history as a jewellers. I thought this was great and would like to consider shopping here for the next big occasion!

I first visited Nightingale Jewellery when I was looking to buy a Zippo lighter for a friends…read morebirthday, this was about 10 years ago and I've used them for my jewellery repairs and for purchases ever since. It's a traditional jewellers shop, rather than the jeweller/pawn brokers which seems to be the norm now. They will buy in unwanted gold and jewellery but they do not offer any kind of cash loan service, I've sold to them once or twice and got a fair price for the scrap gold I had - more than if I'd left all the broken chains and odd earrings sitting in my jewellery box! This is a popular jewellers so if you see something in the window or display case that you really want then I suggest you buy it or leave a deposit as they have a high turnover and tend to have completely different items by the following week. Even if I'm not planning on buying anything I will always have a look in the window because their more unusual pieces are displayed here and sometimes I'll see a pair of earrings or bracelet that I 'just have to have'! Everything is clearly labelled so the price can be seen from outside, this is great because I can see at a glance whether I can afford is as there is nothing worse than having to go in to ask the cost only to find that you can't afford it after all! Once inside the shop has a calm, quiet feel like any good jewellers shop. The glass display cabinets are sparkling clean and show the jewellery and gifts inside off beautifully. There always seems to be a lot of necklaces and link bracelets for sale inside the shop, as well as gold charms and pendants. I think the prices are extremely reasonable, obviously there are the more expensive pieces but you should be able to find something nice within your budget. Nightingales also sell a range of clocks and gifts including those gorgeous hologram pendants featuring a photograph you provide. I also like their crystal ornaments and have bought several as presents over the years - of course I also bought the Zippo from years ago which my friend still has and was beautifully engraved with her name. The staff in Nightingales are excellent, they never seem to rush you and are content to let you browse for as long as you need. I always get the impression that they want me to make the right purchase decision and not the most expensive option. This is great because sometimes in jewellers shop I get the feeling I am being nudged into the most expensive item, but not in here.

I also think the name isn't catch enough, especially for the variety of products sold inside. Throughout the store, you'll find many spiritualist gifts such as precious stones, necklaces, tarot cards amongst crystals, fairy models and other gothic items too. You'd never expect a jewellery shop with such a standard name and fascia to be selling these items; so if you do consider yourself a bit of a spiritualist, and if you're in the Northfield area, it is definitely worth checking out! There's also standard jewellery sold in here (which I'm not really that knowledgeable about), but i'm sure girls would benefit from mooching around at some unique items, that I've never really noticed in chain stores. The shop also does jewellery alterations as well.
