Whitby is known for its jet and this shop is one of the best jet shops in the townif not THE best…read more The owner designs a lot of the pieces and can do custom orders. Most are set in silver, but he can do gold too. I own a few pieces from here and get compliments when I wear them, and anything purchased as a gift has been cherished from those receiving the pieces. The owner does have a selection of jewellery in other gemstones, precious and semi-precious, so if jet isn't your cup-of-tea, you may like one of the other stones. The staff in the shop are very friendly and helpful and the prices range from very reasonable to expensive, depending on what you are looking for.

I can't disagree with the other comments above this place is amazing.

These guys are amazing. I just wish they had an online shop!

Kev Dixon is by far the most talented jet carver in Whitby. He dives for the jet himself, eschewing…read morethe sub-standard imported material and carves beautifully. While in Whitby, I commissioned a small skull from him, which was wonderful. Subsequently, I commissioned some winkles and a lobster (picture attached) which are every bit as good. His prices are excellent, especially given the quality of the work produced.

When the helpful, friendly proprietor told us we could save £3 by removing the chain from a pendant (which we didn't want anyway), my wife cried "Sold!" There are a lot of jet jewelry shops in Whitby, but we think this is one of the best.

They have a full range of sewing and other craft items, with lots of lovely nick nacs. It is a very expensive shop and not somewhere I could afford to shop on a regular basis.

I've added Venus Trading to my 'goth shops' list as they do sell some goth-style clothing at the back of the shop. They tend to increase the stock of goth clothes during the Whitby Gothic Weekend (and it seems they also increase their prices too!). If you're looking for a gift that's a bit different for someone then this is the place to go. They also have some amusing greetings cards which I always check out when I visit. The clothing they sell varies from 'hippy' to 'goth' so you can definitely buy something that will make you stand out from the crowd here! I tend regularly visit to buy incense, make up and jewellery from Venus Trading but not clothing. They have some great clothes but they're all a bit out of my price range and, as it's not a big shop, they don't have a good range of sizes.

Boyes in Scarborough is wonderfully diverse! you can literally get anything here…read more The ground floor has a small food section, where you can pick up basics such as milk, tea etc and bizarrely, situated next to the 'grocery' section, is the furniture department. This furniture department isn't like any you'll find on these out of town shopping centres, at boyes that pack it and stack it high and theres often lots of remnants of packing materials over the floor. A lot of the furniture seems fairly dated, but who knows, maybe there's a market for old fashioned future as a lot of people chose to retire to this old seaside town. The next floor up, again, is a mish mash of what I can only describe as 'stuff' from toys to nail varnish remover - it's all here and generally, cheap cheap cheap! Upstairs there is the clothes department, in all honesty just keep walking as the clothes although are cheap, look cheap and are fairly badly made. The one Super duper (did I just say super duper? oh goodness I did, oh well, I'm going with it) the one super duper thing about Boyes is come December the Grotto arrives and the pull out all the stops!! It's located on the ground floor and to get to Santa you go through a beautiful winter wonderland that enchants the kiddies before they even meet the man himself! I make a special trip each year to take my daughter here at christmas, as my mum did with me - lovely

There are often unusual pieces of china. They have some good books and audio stuff. As well as the used (an often little used) clothes they do a new range. Sometimes they have a high street shops name in and appear to be end of lines. There are often new gifts which are far cheaper than the original price.
