This is a great little destination for some basic pieces, or a large and impressive statement piece of jewellery.
Only occupying a small amount of space, the cabinets are laden with some fabulous earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
I've bought some pieces from this little store and am always impressed by the wide range of stones and metals. They always have excellent pearls, amber, garnets and silver.
The cabinet devoted to rings and different sort of bracelets and bangles is always exciting; it includes enormous silver cuffs and more masculine and edgy designs.
The pearl collection is also really fantastic. The last time I was there Portobello's had some drop pearls set into silver flowers, they were around $40, and there are colour combinations from the creamy white to deep purple.
The service is friendly and genuine, although considering the size of the store the service can be stretched when it gets busy. Portobello's also do some lovely gift-wrapping. read more
