Set hidden away in St Ives is this little cave of wonders . All it's nooks and crannies are crammed with some very unique pieces. From meteorites set In silver to an antique ivory chess set upstairs.
The gent who runs it, Martin is a very swav gent who travels around the world hunting out exquisite pieces to showcase them in his abode.
It can get busy and with narrow walkways you can feel a little trapped sometimes and hindered from browsing. Each display cabinet is full so it takes some time to pick each item out.
Martin also likes to talk to his customers which is lovely for building rapport and one can imagine he is the vocal point of a party. However it can make things difficult if you want to look at something.
I came back when it was quieter and was treated like a queen. Selectively he pulled out a few unique items for me to try on unfortunately every piece was out of my budget..i really wish I had 6grand or more.
In the end I did buy a couple of nice pieces and would definitely go there again next time I'm down.
The jewellery ranges from £35 to £17,500 so be prepared! read more
