When you enter Daniel Jewellers, you have the choice to go upstairs or downstairs, and the direction you choose will take you to opposing worlds.
Upstairs, is a fine jewelry store, with lots of classic and vintage pieces, at surprisingly good prices for what they sell. It’s authentic, real jewelry, often with precious stones and real silver, gold, and platinum. They have a variety of beautiful pieces and their selection changes over time. In fact, I bought one of my favourite rings more than a decade ago there, and I still wear it all the time. Because the ring was a bit big for me, the owner modified it. They do jewellery and watch repairs, jewellery cleaning, and customize pieces to your needs and preferences. They will also work with you on a completely custom piece of jewellery.
Go downstairs, and there’s a vendor’s market, with handmade jewellery, lots of clothing, and vintage ugly sweaters if anyone still needs one!
Whether you choose to ascend or descend when entering, you’ll be sure to find an owner with a quirky and fun sense of humour. It’s owned and run by a husband and wife - partners in life and in operating their business. And you’ll be sure to find something in the price range you’re looking for, whatever that may be!
