For several years, I walked past the Watch Workshop on the High Street in Solihull, and every time…read moreI passed I always wondered, 'what could that shop be?' Of course, this is a massive lie, as the Watch Workshop does exactly what it says on the tin. As well as doing watch repair work, they also do the expected extras, such as selling straps, and have a very nice display of them all to ensure that you get exactly what you're after. They do a range of repair works, including battery replacements and resealing on divers watches (very handy, as it's often tough to find places able to do that), and all repairs come with a year long guaranteed. The staff are friendly and clearly know their stuff, which I always consider to be a good barometer of the quality of specialist shops such as watch fixers. Highly recommended.

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.

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 prices are fairly low, though the goods on offer aren't exactly priceless jewels. It would be a good place to pick up a special present for an aunt or Grandma.

I figured the guys in the Watch Centre MUST know - and indeed they did. 10 minutes later, brand new battery in my watch - good times! Excpept actually, incorrect times - as my watch had reset itself. It's a bit of a funny watch with only one button, and I couldn't figure out how to change the time myself.. so slightly sheepishly I trundled back into the shop. The guy who'd changed the batteries rolled his eyes at me in a comical way when I explained I had no idea how to set my own watch, and then magically he seemed to just prod it a few times and it was correct again! Hurrah! Now I only have to go see him twice a year when the clocks change...
