My mother was clearing out her dresser and gave me my grandmother's wedding and engagement rings,…read moreas well as a beautiful old necklace. The rings were a size 3.5, which is tiny! My partner and I decided to set a date for our wedding shortly after we got these rings, so one of the first orders of business was to have the rings resized for my (I think fairly normal sized) fingers. I got a quote from a downtown store close to my office, and for the diamond engagement ring to be resized as well as the prongs re-done (the ring is platinum), it was gong to cost about $600 (plus tax). I asked my partner to get a quote from Trinity, so we could compare. For the exact same work (resizing the ring in platinum and re doing the prongs), the cost from Trinity was $180 (plus tax). What a price difference! Resizing the wedding band was only $80. My partner left them at Trinity immediately because it was such a good price. On top of that, the rings were done within a week, and the workmanship is excellent. My heirloom rings look beautiful. I'd highly recommend this place.

I love to go in and look in the counters and glass cases to get some ideas. As well they are able to repair your jewelry as well. Now pieces like you will find here are going to cost you some money but like my mother always said Quality over quantity and that is what you are going to get here Quality.

Nestled below a few steps off Spring Garden Road, this jewelry shop requires an extra glance to notice its there. The steps are deep, so be warned--I can see them being tricky for some. Visitors need to press the buzz to get inside, and its immediately obvious that this place isn't for tooting around. Teeny-tiny, but elegantly stated. The exposed brick wall and open workshop give Fawcett's its own hands-on personality. The goldsmith, Blaine, welcomed me kindly and was very helpful in giving me the shop scoop. While the show room displays mainly engagement rings, formal bands and the like, the business is built on custom designed jewelry. Everything is made right here in the shop, behind a wall divider, so as the goldsmith works, you can roam the shop and see him go. Its a different experience, and I liked it. The jewels are too rich for my blood, but maybe some day. Blaine mentioned that they were branching out with some newer and lower price range product, so don't let price stop you from going in for a peek. Overall, the work is excellent and the friendly, personably service seems A +. Open for over 18 years, its no wonder Fawcett's is still kicking.

Or as my husband would say "it a place for hippies." They had lots of cool sterling silver jewelry from Thailand. The prices were quite reasonable too. They had lots of earrings and bracelets in the $10-$25 range. I really didn't look at much else in the store, but they had beads, wooden knick knacks, pillows, and clothing that looked like they were from Nepal, Indonesia and Thailand, among other things. I loved these kinds of stores in my middle school and high school years, but it's not quite my aesthetics anymore, with the exception of the jewelery, because I still love sterling silver, it's the most suitable metal for my colouring. I had a great time browsing their large jewelery section. I almost bought the cutest bracelet, but it was a tad too big for me :( Staff were very nice. I always stop by when I'm in Halifax to poke around a bit, and be reminded of my style as a teenager, lol.

The jewelry and accessories tend to be a bit more edgy and young than most shops sporting the locally made flavour. And while its all quite hip, pieces exceed the concept of 'trend' to provide artful and innovative designs. A juxtaposition of buttons on both rings and pins. Tarnished vinyl skillfully sculpted as bracelets. Purses made from old leather coats. Rings constructed from the glass of busted in bus shelters. Shelffuls of purses-- no two are alike. Leather earrings that are just plain cool. The list goes on. There are some more reserved jewelry pieces as well, as Lady Luck covers it all. With all of this fabulous going on, I hardly had time to notice the large art gallery at the back of the room. Vibrant landscapes were this month's feature. Gorgeous! This shop embodies a fine range of original items. Great taste and lots of pleasant surprises... I can't wait until next time.

When you think ultra high end, most of us are trained to just think of Mills Brothers, but with gorgeous boutique shops like Frida, Halifax's luxury scene has a lot more depth than we think.

Reminiscent of a Valentino showroom on the Las Vegas strip, or a bespoke tailor on Savile Row, the entire room shines with diamonds, golds, silvers, and more. The owner is usually on site and happy to tell you more about her work, the pieces, and the custom orders that are worthy of celebrity engagements. While it's well outside of my price range - or even the price range I hope of having at SOME point in my life - this store is worth a look, if nothing else than to see some of the most magnificent jewelry you can set your eyes on.
