Diva is a very young girl orientated jewellery shop. Yes they have some lovely cheap accessories…read moreand costume jewellery, but once you're past the age of 16 it all seems a little too 'young' to me. For those of you who have young kids or younger siblings then this is a great store to take them or buy them gifts from. It's a very fun and playful store filled with many different styles and colours. It does tend to get crowded in here though, it's amazing just how small the store is and how they manage to fit so much stock in it! If you're not interested in expensive gold and silver jewellery, and you're more interested in making a fashion statement then Diva is the place for you. A great inexpensive way to brighten up your outfit.

When I'm looking for some jewellery for a night out but don't want to pay a lot, I head to Diva…read more Yes, much of their stock is aimed toward the younger age group, but I still always manage to find something I like, and it's usually well under fifteen bucks. Pretty good in my opinion. They have lots of bright costume pieces, so it's usually pretty easy to coordinate with an outfit. The service is okay. I've always found them to be friendly, and they acknowledge you when you walk in.

They helped me choose an opal which was such a fun process, and the ring was ready to pick up a few days later! The opal is absolutely stunning and the setting is perfect. This shop is always so friendly and welcoming, and has really high quality standards. I just recently had my fiance's wedding band made by them even though I was still in the States. It came out exactly as I imagined and the turn around was really quick again. It is the perfect compliment to my engagement ring. Thank you so much Tim and Steve! I will cherish these pieces forever!

I went down under again 2016 and bought another couple of earrings and they too were higly appreciated Everytime service and prices are excellent, no annoying salespersons forcing themselves on me but just polite, calm and professional service - Well done! When I'm back in Adelaide I'll sure visit you again!

I've only brought from here once, but my experience was great…read more I found the staff very helpful and friendly, not at all pushy and I didn't feel rushed. I was looking for a birthday present for my mum, so after browsing through the store I found a necklace that I thought would be perfect. The best thing was it was on sale. Mum loved the necklace, and I'd be more than happy to shop here again (or for my husband to buy me something nice...).

Clarke is one of those jewellers I will happily venture into again…read more The staff are friendly, especially Barbara. She had a lot of time for me. I think it was my english accent. Yes that's it, I remember her saying how she could listen to me for hours.... Looking at diamonds, the selection was good and the price was reasonable for the location. The master jeweller was always available on the other end of the phone in the workshop, commenting on how easily or not you could customise the diamond rings. I didn't buy from here in the end, but I would highly recommend you have a look. Quality and value.

Henry Bucks is a truly boutique mens shopping outlet. The brand is an established Australian…read moresuccess story, and the gear is expensive but very high quality. The North Terrace store has the distinct feel of a clubhouse. The pine timber fixings and layout convey a feeling of luxury, membership and importance when you walk in. I feel like lighting up a fat cigar and discussing my stock portfolio whenever I stumble by. The style is distinctly classy. Clothes you would wear on the yacht, in the boardroom or to an important interview. Henry Bucks has its own brand but sells aside other big names like Gant and Hugo Boss. Other accessories, like watches, leather goods and personal grooming supplies are available too. I recommend Henry Bucks to anyone with some extra cash to splash on themselves or a loved one.

Henry Bucks sells clothes. Or, at least, it stocks clothes. Whether or not it sells any clothes,…read morehowever, I've no idea. Wait, no; that's a lie. I saw a purchase take place whilst I was in the store. But the purchase was not made by me. Why? I'm more a type for buying gear cheap, shredding it, and buying new, cheap gear. The stuff here looks very nice (but it's nothing I couldn't luck out with at an op-shop), and I'm sure it'll last me a while, but, like I said, I'm not too concerned with that sort of thing. The staff were nice and unobtrusive.

There are casual clothes and everything in between to formal and wedding dresses and being an upper market they are a bit more pricey than your typical recycled clothing boutique. Also as a matter of interest Posh was also one of the first recycle boutiques to start up in the eastern suburbs. The clothing they accept is in excellent condition and worthy of an indepth search for a designer bargain. There are also handbags, shoes, accessories, jewellery (new and used), etc. They also accept items on consignment but speak with them regarding terms and conditions. All the clothes are arranged in order of size on the racks so there's no endless searching for sizes and the staff are helpful too.

In recent years Jeremy's has completely re-done its layout so where it was once completely…read moreuncomfortable it is now mildly cramped. They have definitely done the best they could with the space, and the flow of patrons is quite easy now. Although this place can be very busy during big upcoming holidays (mother's day, Christmas etc.) staff never appear flustered. They're friendly but not unprofessional and accommodating but not slow with their service. The cards and giftware are the best part of this store although I've heard a few brides swear by their stationery options. Whenever I've needed to congratulate or commiserate someone, I always manage to find the perfect card here. There are some items for the men folk and certainly for newborn men folk, but this is more a girly giftware store. If you've a special lady who's hard to buy for, head here, you're sure to find a sparkly doodad or thingamabob to make her beam.

There is a large selection of paper and other bits and pieces you may need. There is also gifts available here for weddings, birthdays, baptisms, etc, along with a large selection of greeting cards, journals, diaries, jewellery boxes, wall clocks, personalised items (with names printed on them), the list goes on. And what's even better is this is the only Jeremy's store, so it's unique and not just another chain store! I love coming in here and seeing what's new, The only problem is it's a bit small and it can get annoying dodging around people if it's busy. So I'd suggest going there if it's a quiet time. The staff are helpful, but can get caught up with serving customers at the counter, so be patient :)

WARNING! DO NOT BUY ONLINE FROM SHIELS!! I purchased an…read moreanniversary present online from Shiels Wednesday of last week. I even called to speak to a consultant before making the purchase to discuss the purchase. After one week I heard nothing, so I called to follow up & was promised a call back. I didn't get one, so the next day, I followed up again. Finally, I was told that someone else sold the item I bought & there was no other one available. What would've happened if I didn't follow up? As if that wasn't bad enough, I was then offered a lab grown diamond in place of the natural diamond product I purchased!! I offered other suggestions but was met with a rigid response, so I asked to speak to the online manager to work through a solution. She didn't even have the care to manage a phone call to resolve the situation. Just a throw away email a day & a half later. Now, nearly 10 days after my purchase, I receive an email advising that I'll get a refund.. which will take up to another 10 days. That's nearly 3 weeks before I can shop for an alternative, which means I will likely run out of time & have no present for a milestone anniversary. Thanks for turning a moment of celebration into a moment of stress Shiels!! Clearly we have different ideas of what "the leading jewellery retailer in Australia" means.

Yes, I'm disappointed that you don't have the finest diamonds that I wanted...and because of that, we had to end our 5-minute relationship. As soon as you told me that you don't have the finest diamonds, and that you don't bother getting them at all because no-one can afford it. Also dear, you don't want to me to stay. You want me to go. But there was something about you - maybe it is your foreign non-Australian accent, or the way you wear those jewels. You know the key to my heart is the finest diamonds in Adelaide, and even though you don't have it, you've told me where to go next! (Oh, you're the most honest salesperson I've ever met!) So please. Because of your honesty, I want you to have a walk around with me then I'll take you home under my arm. Diamonds, when I find you, you're mine....forever.

Nadia's House of Serendipity has been in Glenelg for a long time and you can't help but notice…read moreNadia, who is extremely tall and has the most gorgeous bright reddy,purple hair. She has run a great store for many years and, in more recent times has relocated round the corner to where it is now. Looking at the shop now, I don't know how she ever fitted in to the smaller store before. The shop screams 70's psychedelic in logo and layout and there is a colourful array of racks of clothing both inside the store and out. You can find vintage clothing, designer clothing and just about everything in between. The change rooms are bright and airy and Nadia or her other assistants are always ready to help out. You can always find something unique here at a good price. As well as clothes, they have a large selection of shoes, bags, belts and jewellery. The only thing about the new store is that it is a little harder to find, being tucked away around the back of Cheap as Chips.

So I'm trying to review this place from a dude's perspective. And that's a little hard to do, since…read morethere's not a lot a guy might want to do here. But I thought of a way a guy might want to enter a store like this. Christmas. I've already bought a Christmas present for milady, but I've a got a little extra money coming in so I thought I might try for something extra. Normally, I stay away from clothes. I never remember sizes, and girls tend to like to try a thing on before they buy it. And I can't say I blame them for this. But I brought in a picture of milady, and showed it to the staff, and they gave me some handy tips as to what might suit her. I ended up buying a thirty dollar dress. I can't tell you whether the advice was accurate or not, as Christmas isn't 'til tomorrow, but here's the best part: I've already nailed the present. This is just a bonus, so if I've made a terrible choice, I'm still in the clear. Regardless, I'd like to thank the staff for their help with the unorthodox request.
