Rajput Jewelers is one of several specialists in Asian gold and silver jewellery in the area. It…read moresells a range of jewellery, many pieces in 22 carat gold and embellished with diamonds. They also buy scrap jewellery so you could trade an unworn piece in to begin saving for one of their impressive necklaces or rings. When I popped in for a browse I saw some rather cutesy-looking cartoonish flower studs and figured they would probably be the cheapest thing in the shop, upon enquiring about the price (the helpful and friendly young woman assistant had to act as translator for the elderly male proprietor), the earrings were weighed and I was informed they were £140. Now I'm sure this reflects their value gold-wise (as they were 22 carat gold) but they just didn't have the look quality and beauty that I think expensive jewellery ought to have and can't quite imagine why someone would by these over a similar pair on the high street for probably a twentieth of the price! However, there are many pretty pieces in there that do own their price tag, with elaborate necklaces and earrings that look to be of very high quality and carefully designed. If you're looking for jewellery with an Asian aesthetic or just something different from the traditional British jewelers in the city centre you may find something special at Rajput Jewelers, but you must be prepared to pay the price for the quality.

Well aren't I in for a treat. It stands out from some of the other high street jewellers as the window display is kept so clean the diamonds are extra sparkly. All the designs are classical and elegant, I have difficulty finding something I don't like. I know I am here just to browse, I am pretty sure the sales assistant knows this to but bless him he treats me like he would a paying customer. I don't feel like I have to walk out of the shop when I notice a ring that costs more than my house and can just stare in awe for a while. When that lottery win comes in I will be back to actually buy something. In the meantime this is just one of my places to look but at least you aren't made to feel uncomfortable for doing so.

Delacy Jewellery is a jewellery shop with character. The jewellery here is bold and brash, with…read morelong chunky jewel-encrusted rings that would probably take up half a finger, gold clown pendants, St. Christopher pendants and rings, chunky gold chains and hoop earrings and a wide variety of rings and chains that appear to be aimed at men, with a chunky, angular appearance. This is not an aesthetic that would appeal to everyone, in fact it probably only appeals to a minority of people for whom gold 'bling' has a particular appeal - whether genuine or ironic - or possibly to some Travellers, for whom St. Christopher is the Patron Saint. I happen to love its brashness and I think it adds character to the range of shops on offer in the market and helps to ensure that Leeds Market appeals to as many different cultures, tastes and people as possible.

My favourite items are usually antique/vintage but generally, if it shines I'm interested. This shop, however, was a bit of a disappointment. I had a bit of a gaze at the window, almost at this point becoming disaffected, and so decided to venture in hoping for more interesting bits. There was no one there but the door let off this almighty buzz as I entered and then again as the door slammed shut. At this point a lady came rushing in and offered an obligatory "Hello, yes, how are you?" I told her I was fine, and really only having a browse. At this point she sighed and I went to look at their brooches. After a few seconds I heard this tapping - she was standing there, literally drumming her fingers on the counter as I browsed. I did not appreciate that, and began to feel uncomfortable - like I was some kind of unwanted burden. At this point I turned to leave, trying to avoid her awkward stare, and nearly tripped over a huge cardboard box that was next to the counter. I thanked her and left - there was only one brooch I liked anyway and none of them had visible prices. All in all, a bit of a let down, and I don't think I'll be back.

Hmm...Rowena's experience just makes you wonder why they have a shop in the first place! Not good…read moreat all! My experience wasn't that bad - I wouldn't say I was welcomed with open arms but I didn't feel the immediate urge to leave. The jewellery here is, well, pretty average. Like Rowena I'm into vintage or antique jewellery but generally like anything with a bit of character and unusual or interesting design. The jewellery at Oakwood consists mainly of gold and silver chains and a variety of rings, which were ok but none really caught my eye. There was a very pretty pearl necklace in t he window, and a few broaches that looked promising but on closer inspection I didn't really feel that there was anything very special. They also sell a selection of watches and a large range of clocks of the sort you'd imagine sat on a mantelpiece, many with glass domes and brass detailing. If you like quite traditional, unassuming jewellery or clocks and watches of a classic, understated design then you may well find something here to suit your taste but if you're looking for an unusual piece that will stand out you may be disappointed.

It has a huge range of necklaces that are striking and intricate, made up of many small pieces, either layers of thin chains or many pendants all on the same necklace. All of the necklaces have matching earrings, most of which are large and dangly and would definitely get you noticed! They also sell large chunky bracelets and a wide selection of rings. Prices here are not for the faint-hearted, with some pieces 22 or 24 carat gold and many incorporating diamonds. If you were shopping for jewellery in the area it would be best to pop into both Punjab and Faisal, as if you like one you will like the other, but one of them may have that perfect piece that you're looking for.

From the signage and design I assumed that this might not necessarily be the kind of jewellers for me, but then that was somewhat of a flip judgement. On closer inspection there was plenty there to entice me inside for a quick browse! Cleverly, they had a lot of the second hand deals on display on the outside window. Loads of vintage-looking rings with beautiful stones, all for between £50 and £100, stared out at me temptingly. Most especially pleasing were the garnets, but then that's my personal taste! Along to the other window display I went and saw a lot of items that were perhaps a little more contemporary, sovereign rings and large hoops etc, which although reasonably priced were of less interest to me. Inside they had their more high end collections, displays of some really lovely contemporary items by Fiorelli, Silverline, Fluid and more. They had those ever popular charm pieces too, which don't really pique my interest, but I know a lot of people who buy into them. Interestingly enough, I spotted some 'dog-tag' necklaces for £47, which I thought bizarre and there was also a large range of watches, clocks and timepieces on display too. All in all, a pretty all inclusive range of jewellery, with truly something for everyone! Not bad.
