Delacy Jewellery is a jewellery shop with character.

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.

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.

Some pieces resemble the kind of elaborate jewellery that might be unearthed from an Egyptian tomb. Such unusual treasures do not come cheap, as many of the items are 22 and 24ct gold and also in stock are platinum, silver and diamond jewellery. They also sell some more demure pieces with simple bangles and pretty, understated rings. They provide a cash for gold service and can be contacted on 0845 347 5681 for a consultation. If you're looking for stunning jewellery with a difference and have cash to spare then I'd definitely recommend a trip to Sona Chandi Jewels.

Sona Chandi Jewels is probably one of the best jewellers in Leeds, Roundhay Road. Their jewellery…read moreisn't very expensive and cheap to buy, depending on the rates. They have a variety of silver and gold jewellery to meet your specific needs. If there isn't something in the shop then you can order it through them. I love the display outside the shop, it's very elegant and different compared to other types of jewellery.

I love a look in a jewellers usually, all the sparkly exciting things, but in this instance I…read morewasn't too excited. They had a fairly large range of items - necklaces, earrings, rings and so on - but nothing that really caught my eye. I guess for my tastes I really enjoy unique items, such as antique or vintage styled pieces that you know you couldn't pick up anywhere else, and the things I saw here seemed (although lovely) pretty standard. They did have a rather large selection of mens watches on show, and not badly priced either, so it's always worth checking out if you're in the area. A nice selection, but not entirely to my taste!

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.

So if you happen to have a treasure chest gathering dust on a shelf this might be the place to part with it.

The shop has a very luxurious feel with plush dark green carpets to match the shop front and a perfectly air conditioned blankety warmth that makes the prospect of leaving the shop decidedly unattractive on a bitterly cold February day. Just having read Susan's review I can't believe I managed to not realise they had a giant Aladdin's cave downstairs and now feel compelled to return for an explore! The ground floor sells a variety of jewellery at a wide range of prices from thousands of pounds for a diamond ring to £15 for a simple silver bracelet. There is quite a traditional slant to most of the jewellery here with few items that stand out as particularly unusual, but most is very pretty. It sounds as though downstairs has more variation - I'll definitely have to check it out! The staff at Queensbury Jewellers are very pleasant and welcoming and I'm sure they would be very helpful with any queries.

With such a big showroom, they stock a huge variety of jewellery and you're just as likely to find a £15 silver necklace made in the UK as a £5,000 gold ring from India. When I visited recently I was impressed by the sheer diversity of the collection, which contains a surprising amount of affordable items alongside jaw-droppingly expensive designer items, and with the staff, who were very helpful and knowledgeable. A good place to come if you're looking to buy a special present for somebody but don't have a small fortune to spend.
