Nestled below a few steps off Spring Garden Road, this jewelry shop requires an extra glance to notice its there. The steps are deep, so be warned--I can see them being tricky for some. Visitors need to press the buzz to get inside, and its immediately obvious that this place isn't for tooting around. Teeny-tiny, but elegantly stated. The exposed brick wall and open workshop give Fawcett's its own hands-on personality. The goldsmith, Blaine, welcomed me kindly and was very helpful in giving me the shop scoop. While the show room displays mainly engagement rings, formal bands and the like, the business is built on custom designed jewelry. Everything is made right here in the shop, behind a wall divider, so as the goldsmith works, you can roam the shop and see him go. Its a different experience, and I liked it. The jewels are too rich for my blood, but maybe some day. Blaine mentioned that they were branching out with some newer and lower price range product, so don't let price stop you from going in for a peek. Overall, the work is excellent and the friendly, personably service seems A +. Open for over 18 years, its no wonder Fawcett's is still kicking.

I obviously didn't work as closely with them as he did, but in my dealings with them since then they have been nothing but polite and sincere - I think they like my ring even more than I do! Re-sizing was free and we are now working on designs for a band to go with my ring. The only thing I can't comment on here is price - my guy refuses to disclose what he spent, but I would imagine it was a lot based on the quality of the stones and the gold work. Pricing is not for the faint of heart, but what you get is quality and craftsmanship. There is no rhodium plating here - you get the real deal. The customer service is also excellent, particularly when contrasted with the service of chain stores.

Those in the market for a serious jewelry purchase should include Touch of Gold in their shop-list…read more This place is a longstanding, family run business that provides an array of dazzling jewels for special milestones. Classic wedding bands, diamond rings, necklaces, earrings and Rolex watches adorn the store's inner glass counters. Its a small but mighty shop, as it seems to maintain traditional essence of "serious jewelry", yet also offer up some playful cuts and stones. (Think pink diamond!) While I'm not quite there, I can appreciate Touch of Gold's eye for elegance and its mixing of traditional and unusual designs.

The staff associate informed us that they'd be having another balloon event in the near future with the next Mall Midnight Madness. Overall, a pleasant and fun experience.

The jewelry and accessories tend to be a bit more edgy and young than most shops sporting the locally made flavour. And while its all quite hip, pieces exceed the concept of 'trend' to provide artful and innovative designs. A juxtaposition of buttons on both rings and pins. Tarnished vinyl skillfully sculpted as bracelets. Purses made from old leather coats. Rings constructed from the glass of busted in bus shelters. Shelffuls of purses-- no two are alike. Leather earrings that are just plain cool. The list goes on. There are some more reserved jewelry pieces as well, as Lady Luck covers it all. With all of this fabulous going on, I hardly had time to notice the large art gallery at the back of the room. Vibrant landscapes were this month's feature. Gorgeous! This shop embodies a fine range of original items. Great taste and lots of pleasant surprises... I can't wait until next time.

The store is quaint looking from the outside, and as with much of the rest of the Hydrostone, reminds one of a small British village centre (ie. very boutique-like). I noticed on some photographs here on Yelp that the rear part of the store must have been an art gallery in the past, however this is no longer the case.. Now its an expansion of the sales floor. The first thing one notices when entering the store is the multitude of hats around.. If it weren't for other art pieces on display, one could easily think think the whole store is just for hats. We got a really cool hat made of rain-jacket material. It certainly came in handy since there was a raging snow/rain storm going on outside and those specific hats are waterproof.. I also really liked their knitted winter wear hats/tuques. Some of them are quite unique (see photo I added to the business profile). Theres also a lot of locally crafted art and handmade jewelry. This is always a bonus since supporting the local arts is an investment in the community and makes a nice change from buying the same old Chinese imports that you can find anywhere.

They have a great deal to offer, such as flasks and bar sets, necklaces, jewellry boxes, pocket watches, photo frames, new baby gifts, wedding-related items (cake serving sets, champagne glasses, etc.) and interesting toys and knick-knacks (e.g., globes, stainless steel yo-yos, tic tac toe games, etc.). I have always found the staff to be very cheerful and knowledgeable as well. Most recently I purchased a gift for each of the girls in my wedding here. After hemming and hawing over all of my options, and probably driving the salesperson crazy, I decided to buy them each a very pretty compact mirror. The staff person, no surprise, was very friendly and we ended up getting into a long conversation about each of our upcoming nuptials. You don't find that level of friendliness at every store you go to, and to find it so consistently among different staff members each time a I visit makes it even more remarkable.
