But enough digressing - Tiny Shiny Things is a wee gem of a jewellery store, and to be hoenst I feel as though its cutesy name downplays the quality of the local designs that they have on offer.They play host to a number of homegrown talent including Sheila Fleet, Tiangus Jackson and the staple of the Rennie Mack collections. Sheila Fleet's jewllery is particularly striking as her simple, bold designs are also very elegant, with their curved contours emphasising their organic inspiration. This shop does sell Tiny Shiny Things but it should be furthering promotion of the amount of talented designers they host rather than whispering about it in a mousy fashion.

Avoid like the plague!…read more Timothy J Sharp used to be known as "Myriad" and was situated at the far end of the high street. It was a run down, cramped shop with little to offer, the staff were abrupt and service was slow, but recently they moved to new premises in a more central location...and things have gotten much worse. All right, I'm not being entirely fair. The shop looks a lot better. It's bigger, brighter and, for the most part, has an air of class about it. The appearance, however, isn't flawless. The white marble effect floors are attractive, but are ruined somewhat by a rainbow lighting strip along the stairs at the entrance, a feature better suited to a 1980s sex shop than a quality jewellers. The display cabinets are large and well lit, though sadly bright enough to highlight the dead flies and grimy fingerprints on the displays. It's hardly a polished outfit, but it is a vast improvement on the old place. Unfortunately, the staff seem to have developed an entirely unwarranted superiority complex since the move and seem to regard most of their customers as unwelcome plebs. They are rude, seem to think that customers will wait until they feel like serving them, and anyone who offers there merest criticism is unceremoniously ordered from the store and physically accosted if they don't exit quickly enough. The jewellery is decent enough, though far more expensive than most of the other jewellers in a forty mile radius, but the quality of their in-house pieces leaves much to be desired. Don't get me wrong, their designs would be popular on a market stall in Glasgow or some other big city (at an appropriate price), but they lack the originality and quality of some of the other designers they feature. Timothy J Sharp's website is an accurate representation of the shop itself - at first glance it looks flashy, but you don't have to look too hard to see the flaws. Their butchery of the English language is hard enough to stomach without all the spelling mistakes ("dazzelingly" sic) and I refuse to believe that any jeweller in Scotland who truly knows their stuff can't spell "Mackintosh". I'm sure some will think I'm being a bit picky talking about spelling mistakes on a website, but as that same website boasts about their "attention to detail" I feel the criticism is justified. My own experience with this jewellers is brief and unpleasant. I took a pendant in to be repaired. It was missing three stones. I was quoted a price of £10 to get it fixed and told it would be ready in time for Valentine's Day (which was eight days away at the time). I returned to the shop on the morning of Valentine's Day to find that they hadn't even started the repairs, leaving me without a gift for my wife, and had to wait two further weeks until they finally got around to it. When I finally got the pendant back I was far from impressed. The metal had been stressed and scarred by tools, and while three stones had been put in they, the stones around them and the metal were covered in a frosty substance I later learned was superglue. A beautiful pendant missing three stones was returned in appalling condition and for the £10 charged for "fixing" it I'm now facing a bill of £67 to rectify the damage they caused. I complained, of course. I told them I wasn't happy with the quality of the work and wanted them to fix it. Were they apologetic? No. Instead, the staff member I spoke to ordered me out of the shop and when I didn't run for the door he hit me, kicked me and pushed me into the door. I suppose that's what they call customer service. In short, Timothy J Sharp is a bitter blend of arrogance and incompetence best avoided.

Tim was recommended to us by our friends who had their rings made for their wedding the previous year.

Tim offered twice to come to Glasgow to size our temps to ensure the rings were perfect as we were struggling for time to get to Dunnon. Communication was excellent and we met with Tim a good few times in his shop. We never felt rushed and we felt we got to know Tim. I found this quite special as at the end of the day, Tim was making the bands that represented our marriage. We have beautiful wedding band and I cannot recommend his service highly enough.

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!

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.
