I'm not sure why but I think I just assumed the bags would be ridiculously expensive and so walked on by... until very recently that is. And even though this new discovery has come a little late, it's better to be late than never to have gone in. Inside the beautiful Tilkah world, you'll find a stunning array of jewellery with glamorous beading, chunky necklaces and statement-making earrings to complete that drop-dead-gorgeous outfit with. Bag ladies will love the large collection of buttery soft leather clutches, roomy totes chic satchels and versatile slings. And before you get the wrong idea, I was wrong! Wrong to judge a book or rather a bag (and accessories) by its exterior. Prices reflect the quality and attention to detail so you know you're taking home a good buy!

I remember my first trip inside this store. There were beautiful diamonds rings in the window and I…read morewas drawn to the sparkle like a moth to a flame and spent a good ten minutes admiring the craftsmanship behind the gorgeous stones and setting. I slipped in to the store, hoping not to draw attention to myself because let's be honest - I can't afford anything inside and was promptly greeted with warm hellos and smiles. This put me at ease. Browns aren't particularly modern - the setting isn't particularly sleek or sophisticated, it is quaint and modest. The attention is on the jewellery and the enormous precious stones that gleam out at you. Gold, silver, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds - I've seen them all here. The wares are truly phenomenal. Browns also do watch repairs and stock other pieces - not just rings. They just happen to be the thing that catches my eye.

I found this quaint little jewelry shop by accident when I was exploring during a lunch break and…read morehave had regular visits ever since! I purchased the jewelry for my wedding day here and have received quite a few gifts that I have loved. They have pieces that are 'one-off' or a little more quirky which is why i like them. Pieces are reasonably priced and the staff are always friendly and happy to help.

I was a tourist who recently came to Melbourne and I was looking for a good place to get some…read morejewelry when I stumbled on the singular review about this store. I was a bit reluctant to go as it only had one review and didn't have an online store but I still went just to check it out. The place is a bit small but nonetheless a gem. The jewelry was incredibly unique and high quality. It was a little on the more expensive side (as I am a kid) but I found I was completely willing to buy as a lot of the stuff seemed to be one of a kind, or at least something I wouldn't find in my country. The clerks were amazing and really helpful. I'm usually very nervous around salespeople but I was surprised at how comfortable I felt talking to them and asking about some of their jewelry. In the end, I left with a little less money in my wallet but was ecstatic at my purchase. I highly recommend this place if you want some unique pieces at a decent price and especially pleasant service. (In fact, I made this Yelp account just to post a review! That's how much I enjoyed my visit there.)

I knew exactly what I wanted, but after going into store after store, I couldn't find it. I found many rings that had aspects of what I wanted, but nothing encompassed everything in the one ring. Peter Arnold is a kooky man with a strange sense of humour who managed to take in exactly what I wanted and turn it into my dream engagement ring. The carat and clarity of my diamond meant the ring I have would have cost three thousand dollars more than I paid had I brought it from a store. We also got our wedding rings made through him, as well as a ring left to me from my grandmother into a peal ring. I can't say enough about Peter Arnold, he is worth sitting down and having a chat with.
