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.

Shaw Jewellers is a great little jewellery shop in Pudsey. As they say, very largely with their…read moresignage, they do more than merely sell a ring or two. Shaw Jewellers is great as you can have them engrave special items, repair any watches, clocks or jewellery as they have an on site workshop - this is great if it's a small job; you can bring the item in, go for a lovely cuppa at Olde Booths, come back and collect, done! Pretty useful to have, as I can't tell you how many rings I have ruined by constant usage. As well as these excellent services they also have a pretty decent collection of jewels and watches for one's perusal! Though I couldn't exactly afford to splash out on a whim, I adored their gemstone bracelets which were on display. There was one with multi coloured gems - which I assumed to be carnelian, amethyst, garnet, aventurine and so on (but don't quote me, I could be totally wrong!) and it was pretty exciting. They also seemed to have gold chains galore, some beautifully delicate bracelets, some gorgeous vintage rings and some rather manly watches too. All in all, be it a special occasion or just a special treat for yourself, this is a grand old jewellers to browse.

Absolutely shocking customer service. Unsure why others write a good review. Wanted 3 valuations…read morefor my diamond rings and owner never available or working in the shop. It's run by her mother who is rude and impolite. Four times I went to the shop and was told to go back and each time the owner was not working after the mother taking messages told me she would be available, on the fourth time I was then told owner had now gone on maternity leave! I wasn't informed of this on previous visits. Either don't want your custom or unable to deliver a service which is advertised!! People deserve a better service and with manners. Disappointing which deserves a zero rating

They specialise in diamonds, and as well as some jaw-dropping piece most of us would have to take out a second mortgage to afford there are some affordable lower carat options, meaning you can get some real diamond jewellery for less than you'd think. Just make sure you remove the price tag...

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.

They had a fairly large range of items - necklaces, earrings, rings and so on - but nothing that really caught my eye. I guess for my tastes I really enjoy unique items, such as antique or vintage styled pieces that you know you couldn't pick up anywhere else, and the things I saw here seemed (although lovely) pretty standard. They did have a rather large selection of mens watches on show, and not badly priced either, so it's always worth checking out if you're in the area. A nice selection, but not entirely to my taste!

I am allowed to love more than one jewellery store, it is not cheating. They always have beautiful and inspiring second hand vintage jewellery on display in their window, often at discounted or competitive rates. Usually there are ring boards which cover all the precious stones - rubies, sapphires, opals, emeralds, diamonds, garnets, amethysts and so on. Those alone are enough to make me stare for ages! As well as this there are a number of chains, necklaces, pendents, cuff links, watches, ornaments and all other associated items - many more of which you can view inside, with lovely patient staff to help you. Excellent stock, great staff, lovely prices and all that jazz.

They have a glass cabinet full of vintage ornaments, many including their original boxes and mostly animals. One memorable piece was a Humpty-Dumpty sat precariously on a wall with a comically aghast expression! Some larger ornaments sit on shelves at the back including some quirky dogs with bizarre yet lovable faces. The shop is small but packed full of glistening goodies to suit a wide range of tastes. The staff are friendly and helpful but are more than happy to let you browse at your leisure. Their product range is diverse and in addition to the items listed earlier, they generally seem to specialize in anything that's unusual with a bit of history, including medals, trays and pocket watches. A wonderful place to find unique items if, like me, you go for things with character and delight in the fact that a piece has been pre-loved in a mysterious past life.
