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.

I make no secret of the fact that I am quite a magpie. Whilst walking down the street something…read moreglistens out of the corner of my eye and I feel myself gravitating over to the window. 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.

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.

O & A Hyman sells a vast array of antique and vintage jewellery, pottery, crockery and ornaments…read more The range of jewellery is quite impressive, with many unusual and interesting pieces at a variety of prices, though generally on the pricier end. 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.

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...
