I am not just writing this or awarding this store five stars off the high of getting engaged, but…read morebecause it was such a splendid place of business! My boyfriend, his sister and I were walking around the lanes of Brighton when we happened upon the charming storefront of Regents. I cooed at all of the marvelous antique rings displayed in the window when I happened upon this beautiful Edwardian piece that now resides on my finger. All of the rings here were in marvelous condition and spectacularly displayed! The woman inside was fabulous and very patient, especially when the boyfriend insisted I try the ring and the moment of shock/terror that followed. She checked to see if the ring fit properly and it did! I could not believe the ring fit so well! The woman also guaranteed a resize if I ever needed it. I am very impressed with this store and am so happy that it made a special day even brighter in Brighton!

The Witch Ball is one of those lovely Lanes oddities: perched in the centre of the Lanes area, it…read moreis an easy place to miss on a meander, and a real treasure trove once found. Specialising in antique prints and maps, The Witch Ball offers some really exceptional pieces, well worth their price, and an excellent addition to any home. In terms of the pieces on display, The Witch Ball offers an excellent selection of various prints and maps. With pieces from all over the world, including maps of some ridiculously far flung locales, as well as hundreds of British and Brightonian pieces, there is truly something very any art lover. Everything is kept in excellent condition, and there are so many buried away that a good browse can take up more than the better part of an afternoon. In particular, I recommend going up the very tight staircase for a look-around upstairs: some of the best pieces are hidden away up there. There is little I can complain about in this excellent little antique shop. It is just the right side of pokey: not too difficult to explore, and yet small enough to feel homey and friendly. While the owners can sometimes be a little prickly, don't let that get in the way, as it is such a joy to browse through. If maps and prints aren't your thing, this isn't the place for you; if they are, give yourself a couple of hours on the weekend and take the time to find the piece for you. The reason for the high star rating, primarily, is the originality factor: you truly won't find pieces this good anywhere else, let alone in Brighton.

I have visited every jewellery in the Brighton Lanes this afternoon as I was needed a ring with a…read morediamond. When I was making a second round and already had a few options, I poped in this jewellery shop. The owner was extremely helpful asked me what I want and asked me to take a seat. When he showed me the options and told the prices, they were over my budget, but then I saw the price tags and then I was shocked, that guy was trying to make me a discount not for a 50 or 100 quid, but for a few hundreds and even then he made additional extra discount so it could fit my budget. It wouldn't sound good, but I also got what should be included - a certificate, insurance, 5 yrs warranty, box and it was resized to fit in half an hour. During that time, I checked again other shops to double check the prices of the similar parameters and style rings and it was true, everywhere else it was few hundred quid more. But I must admit, other shops had it with 50-100 quid smaller price tag on the display. So in overall I saved around 300 quid and had excellent service.

Beyond the…read moregorgeous purple frontage lies a sumptuous collection of luxury bespoke necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets as well as high end fashion items. The standard is set very high but because of the mix of brands the prices range from as little as £100 into the thousands. What I love most about the store is the workshop, where you can see these master, award-winning metal smiths work their magic. I would love one day to be able to commission one of these artisans to create a bespoke ring for me. For now I'll just keep coming back to browse an drool.

I was quite sad to notice that my watch had broken yesterday morning. (Actually, I was panicked at…read morefirst because the time was wrong and I suddenly feared I had reaaaally slept in.) However, when walking through the North Laines, I discovered Storm and was quite impressed with their styles and selection of watches. Two sales clerks were working in the small shop, and were quite helpful. One was assisting a woman choose a gift, and the other immediately greeted me with friendly questions and the offer to try things on. Most watches were around the £60 - £80 price range, although there were a few higher end, and a few for the budget conscious. I wasn't quite ready to buy, but I'm still picturing one quite clearly in my mind. It would be nice to have a silver, elegant watch instead of the digital plastic one that's about to hit my rubbish bin.

Silver Scene shops are COMPLETELY different from any other jewellery shop I have been in. There is…read morean incredible range of different stones and styles, and every time I come away from there I seem to have learnt another obscure name! The designs of the jewellery are so varied - you can buy someone some simple, classic-looking dangly earrings in topaz, peridot etc etc for not much more than a tenner, or you can go all-out and get a large, statement pendant (with choice of chain) for much more. Whatever budget you have, you can make someone feel as though they have something special and individual. The staff are friendly and really knowledgable. They will give you an honest opinion, and make helpful (not pushy-salesy) suggestions. The most appealing thing about Silver Scene, I think, is how unique some of the jewellery designs are. And some of the stones I had never heard of before they came along (Porcelain Jasper, Moldavite, Ruby Star Stone, Tourmilated Quartz...the list goes on). I had a bit of a splurge in the Brighton store today so I've uploaded some pics to give you an idea...bear in mind that these are just my taste! There are SO many different styles, and in every stone. I've been a fan of Silver Scene for some time now, and my one word of warning would be that if you go in there to buy a gift for someone then be prepared to come away with a treat for yourself too that you just couldn't resist! ... Oh, and I just looked on their website and it says an online store is coming soon! (I really am not associated with the store in any way!! Just a big fan)

Silver Scene, one of the many jewelers in the Lanes, is a worthy addition to the already existing…read moreshops, specialising in silver jewelry. The selection is excellent, from simple silver jewelry to silver inset with various precious gems, and the prices are very reasonable. The pieces do, sometimes, seem a little garish, and if you aren't a fan of silver, you will be left wanting. Where so many jewelers in the Lanes sell very upmarket, expensive items, with little for the casual shopper or the smaller wallet, Silver Scene seems to have found a nice line between expensive and cheap, with items on display within a sensibly large price range. The pieces are mostly tasteful and very pretty, but some of the pieces do seem a little over the top, with a lot of stones added to a simple piece of silver: not my thing at all! There's not really much to say beyond that: there'll be something in everyone's price range, but whether you'll want it or not is another matter... Still, if you're into silver, you could do much worse!

Let's just say there's a reason I'm getting me wedding rings done here! The Lanes area is known for its jewelry shops, most having been around for years and years. If you wander the Lanes windy side alleys, you can find more than one place offering a window-full of pieces, clearly bought and sold frequently over the years. These places all share a slightly seedy look: prices are scribbled by hand on tags, faded suede and velvet couches all of the glittering items... Not exactly confidence inspiring for the prospective ring shopper. This is where Ring stands out: it looks professional. It is clearly run and organised properly, and as such can offer a much more comprehensive service. The items on display in their window are perfectly nice enough, but the real trick comes when you walk in and ask for advice. The service is comprehensive, friendly and informed, and more than you could expect from a jewelers. As stated above, Ring pride themselves on their ability to make whatever the customer wants. Give them some guidelines, and they'll guide you through making your perfect piece. In my case, all I need is a bog-standard wedding ring: we still went through absolutely everything I might need. Although their name might not imply it, Ring also make other bespoke jewelry, just pop in if there's something else you want made. In need of that special piece of bespoke jewelry? Go no further than Ring.
