When my engagement ring of thirty-three years recently got damaged, I was devastated…read more The first jeweller I visited in Glasgow told me that my ring could not be repaired and offered instead to create a like-for-like replacement, using the original gold and stones. I explained to them how much sentimental value my ring held, but they were adamant that a repair was not possible. So, I decided to get a second opinion and visited Smith Jewellers, also in Glasgow. I was delighted when Karen told me that my ring could, in fact, be repaired. She explained that the claws in the cluster simply needed to be strengthened to secure the setting. The work was completed within two weeks, and at a fraction of the cost quoted by the first jeweller. Karen and her husband at Smith Jewellers are such a friendly couple; very approachable people who genuinely care about their work. And, if you're a dog lover, you'll be greeted by their two adorable dogs in the workshop, who make you feel even more welcome! I was so impressed with the service that I also entrusted Smith Jewellers with my late mother's engagement ring. As it was too large for me, I had never worn it, but within two weeks it had perfectly been resized. Once I collected the ring, it looked brand new and beautifully sparkling. Now, I can wear my mum's engagement ring every day; it feels like I have a little piece of her with me, wherever I go. Thank you so much to Karen and the team at Smith Jewellers; I cannot recommend you highly enough. Such wonderful people, excellent workmanship, and outstanding service. I'm just so glad I found your workshop!

Smiths is not glamorous, in fact when you're walking up the close of the tenement building it…read moreresides in on St. Enoch Square, you might feel like you're in a scene out of Trainspotting. It's rather dirty, there's a rickety old lift with the pull over metal bars and the whole place smells of very strong disinfectant. If you are a little put off by the lift then don't worry as there is a friendly man who works in the lift opening and closing the doors and helping customers find what they are looking for. Smiths is on the third floor and as I said, when you enter it isn't glamorous but do not let that put you off as the people working here are experts at their trade. I used to work in a jewellers and whenever our workshop was full - the rest was sent to Smiths. Many Jewellers in the city centre use Smiths and I have seen Links of London staff here many a time when I have popped in. I also get my own personal jewellery sized and repaired here. They've sized a few rings for me and also taken links out of bracelets, ring sizing is never more than £10 for silver and if you need something quick smart they can generally sort something out for you. Smiths has been in the business for years and even though it's not shiny and sparkly, chances are if you've had something sized from a jewellers in Glasgow they'll have sent it here to save them waiting to get it sized in their own workshops if they're too busy.

Harkin's Jewellers declares itself to be the oldest jewellers in the West End, and to be honest I'm…read moreinclined to believe them. They have a lovely selection of jewellery, with something to suit nearly every price range. (Pieces start from £20/£30). The shop is well designed and feels authentically vintage. Once inside, you'll be greeted by the friendly owner of the shop. He certainly knows his stuff and is really helpful. As well as selling jewellery, Harkin's also does jewellery repairs - so its well worth a visit if you've got a faulty piece of jewellery. The repairs aren't expensive, either, which definitely helps! Finally, Harkin's Jewellers is also a registered buyer of gold. So if you have some unwanted gold and want to sell to a legitimate buyer (and actually get the correct amount of money for it) then make a trip here.

My Auntie has bought a lot of jewellery here and recommended them to take a look at it. Being a family heirloom I decided to take her device. You need to buzz into the shop as a pre warning. There are 2 parking spaces out the front. The lady, Tracy who helped me was lovely. She said she wasn't sure if they could make the ring smaller but did say they could potentially add tiny balls inside the ring to reduce the inside circumference. I left he ring with her and got a text two days later to explain what work could be done. The refitting and cleaning of the ring took about a week and a half and I could not be happier with the results. A lovely local jewellers that definitely know there stuff!

Way back when, when Graeme and I got engaged we had a look around at a few places for rings…read more Nothing was really taking my fancy so we headed here on the recommendation of a former workmate. We visited on a Saturday and sat down to chat to Anthony about what we wanted. He was so helpful and gave us lots of advice about settings, metals, diamonds - the works. I think we ended up going for about 3 consultations with him for different designs and settings, and when we had finally decided he had it printed in plastic on a 3D printer so I could try it on and make sure I was happy with it. The whole process was relaxed and fun, and made the whole experience of getting engaged even more enjoyable. We went back when we were getting married and got wedding bands made and he designed mine so it interlocked with my engagement ring. So if you're ever looking for custom-made jewellery I would strongly advise going here.

It's a small shop but it's filled to max with many beautifully hand crafted gifts. They have cards, lots of motivational messages, pretty much gifts for any occasion. The lady will ask if you need any help but I like browse as there is so much to take in. She's very polite and leaves you along. On my second visit I took along my mum and she was very impressed and thought the same as me. After perusing we came across a lovely Christmas gift for her sister. The prices are very reasonable and the lady asked if it was for a gift. When we said yes she carefully wrapped up with a bow. It was beautifully done and I know my auntie will love this wee present. I'm giving nothing away incase she reads this review. Just know it's a lovely gift. The last time I had chatted with the lady I found out that she also runs sewing classes. She said to check out the website for details and she runs the classes in the back of the shop. I have unfortunately never got round to it as I've been so busy lately. I would love to get back into my sewing and I think her classes would be ideal and they're handy to get to. This is definitely a wee shop to pop into and browse as I'm sure you will find a lovely unique gift for that someone special.

Many of which are made by the very talented Ali herself. Items I've purchased include bespoke hoodies and tops personalised with names in my family tartan. Nothing is ever too creative and Ali always talks you through what can be done. Her rhino range makes me laugh and then there's Ali herself - a lovelier and more creative person you could not meet. This gift shop is so much more than meets the eye. Go to her Facebook page for updates on her classes and what she's creating. Her workshops are fun and incredibly well taught. I went from being unable to sew a button on to a being a proud owner of a sewing machine who can actually use it to make things! I've made a tote bag, learned how to put a zipper in, learned how to embroider and make paper lanterns. Her classes are reasonably priced and always come with a cup of tea/coffee and good banter. Whether you're looking for a unique gift that isn't on the high street or for something creative to do then I wholeheartedly recommend you take a look and pop in for a class.
