Well... we may have been looking for a ring. By 'a ring', I mean, the ring. I know a lot of…read morepeople may not find it romantic to go shopping for the ring together, but if you are spending money on jewelry, you want to make sure that it is something the other person wants AND that it is quality. Having worked in jewelry while I was in high school and college, I like to think that I can at least see when I am being ripped off. I actually found this store online while searching for 'jewelry stores in Manchester'. The store is in Leeds and the other branches of the store, also not in Manchester. However, I am glad I looked and glad that Mr. Snarky was up for a trip to Leeds. If you call the number at the bottom of the website it goes to their head office and they can provide you with the number of the store you wish to contact. I didn't realize there were multiple locations. And if you are shopping online, I don't believe they include which location a particular item is at. While I realize it might be a security issue, driving an hour and a half (traffic was a bit of a nightmare) to Leeds to hear a staff member say, "Not sure if that one is here at this store" made my heart sink. If you are looking for a particular item, you may want to call ahead to make sure you end up at the right store. This location is in the Crossgate Shopping Centre with a couple of car parks available. From the outside, I saw that they do a bit more than jewelry... like pawnbroking, cheque cashing, etc. The store is small, but it is very nice inside. Mr. Snarky suggested we have a look at the window display and see if there were any rings I liked the look of that weren't on the website. After having a look, we buzzed to be let in and were warmly greeted. We did have to go back out in order to show them what rings we were interested in looking at and I did have to pull up a picture of the ring I was interested in so they could locate it. Fortunately the other staff member recognized it as soon as she saw it and said that she had seen it just the other day! Phew! I got to try them on and the lady told me more about each of the rings... the one I was very interested in was a previously owned ring, but was specially made... meaning it is one of a kind!!!! That's what I was looking for as I don't want the ring everyone else has. They offered free ring sizing, but were unsure of when it would be ready because of the holidays and offered to call me in a day when the man who does repairs and ring sizings would be in. First thing on Monday morning, I had a call and my ring will be ready this week! The two staff members have been so helpful and friendly and really made the process quite easy. They also asked what I was looking for and what the budget was and were able to provide some other options to look at... because every girl enjoys trying on rings! While I know they want to sell jewelry, they seemed genuinely excited about the ring I chose over the others because of its uniqueness. I am excited to go back and pick up the ring and we are even considering getting our wedding bands there!

Purchased a Brietling watch Xmas day from this company via their website…read more Paid the deposit, went through the agreed finance process, order placed. Delivery expected within 21 days. At very nearly four months after several emails & calls telling me it wont be much longer, I receive an email out of the blue telling me they've refunded my payment & will be cancelling the credit agreement. I cant remember a time when I've been treated so badly by a company. The watch I ordered is still freely available in reputable retailers not buying from the "Grey market". This company should honour their agreements with customers, but don't feel the need to treat customers with the respect they deserve. I'd avoid this company like the plague in future, opting instead to purchase from a reputable source. Disgraceful to say the least!

I'm also rather keen on shiny things, diamonds and also jewellery that won't involve my selling a kidney for the honour of wearing it. That's why I love Argent. Tucked away in the Thornton's Arcade, it really is a little joy of riches. First up you need to set your price range though. Be firm, you know you have to. Like all good jewellers you can spend as little (relatively speaking) or as much as you like so you do need a battle plan. So moving on from the super expensive platinum range (sob), I often go right for the silver. Silver is good, in fact silver is great but it's even better here. That's because it's all so funky, original and a different class from your bog standard chain shop offerings. Personally the charm bracelets are always a pleasant surprise because they look great, have charms that stand out and aren't quite in the same cost league as say Links of London. You can spend under twenty pounds if that is your upper limit and the unique designers give you that edge over places in the area. I bought a quite stunning cross many years ago now and it still looks incredibly on trend and new. It's great to have accessible jewellery that breaks the mould and you are definitely getting it here. For all your wedding needs, they are on hand too. Although I can't go into that right now as I'm still waiting for Johnny Depp to realise I am the woman of his dreams. Until then, I'll comfort myself with some quality retail therapy.

Argent is an unusual jeweler's selling a wide range of jewellery in gold, platinum, silver,…read moretitanium and steel. Prices are very varied ranging from £50 to several thousand pounds for a ring. Pieces are generally very modern with clean lines and interesting shapes. The gold, platinum and silver jewellery is obviously at the higher end price-wise and generally has a more understated feel with modern twists on more traditional shapes. The steel and titanium collection is much cheaper in price and much more adventurous in design, with very modern and unusual, sometimes almost space-age shapes and several pieces featuring bunches of brightly-coloured playfully-shaped gems or arty silver and black designs. Men's jewellery is chunky, minimalist, streamlined and modern and generally no more than £300 with many pieces such as cufflinks under £50. There is also kids jewellery, much more fun and playful and thankfully nothing nearing several grand in price! Most pieces are under £40 and feature butterflies, fairies and stars. The jewellery at Argent has character and is very stylised...it may not be to everyone's taste but at least it stands out from the crowd.

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.
