Fine art jewelry in Manchester

“I couldn’t be happier to have chosen such excellent and precious jewellery to purchase the engagement ring to my lovely and beautiful fiancé. They made her the happiest woman on earth with such stunning and unique ring, full of character and elegance, but also they made my life much easier supporting and advising me with their friendliness and knowledge in the making of such important and stressful decision. They made our dream come true with this little stone and hopefully our future will shine as much as it does! Highly recommended to anyone looking for the perfect jewellery for their loved ones or why not themselves.”

“Absolutely lovely experience at the store!! The manager Diar is a very kind and polite member of staff and made the process alot easier and completed the link removal very fast. I have always come to this store for any issues with watches and repairs. I would definitely recommend the In Time Store for sure.”

“In august my boyfriend purchased an omega watch as a gift for my 40th birthday. The lady Gemma was incredibly helpful with every step of the purchase from helping me choose to removing links and explaining every step of the process including after care etc. I would definitely recommend seeking out Gemma to help you with your purchase when you are in the store. Well done Gemma ⭐️”

“Just another great experience, if you are buying for quality and service, going to Bud at Si Vis Amari is a must. He works around all requests, and budgets. Great suggestions, and advice. Very highly recommend him, got engagement ring and wedding bands through him.”

“Did a fabulous job would recommend this jeweller to anyone can make anything you desire”

“A professional service with a personal touch. Service has been outstanding from the show we found them at to picking up our rings. Very knowledgeable and made my bespoke wedding ring to perfectly match my engagement ring. Fiancé also got exactly what he wanted at prices comparable to the high street.”

“Just want to shout from the rooftops about how fabulous Hill & Hill The Jewellers are. I’m not friend nor family so this really is the most genuine review. They were amazing over the phone on my first enquiry, and then more so when we called in to book an appt. They made up a gorgeous gift box for my daughter with her appt card as her ear piercing was a Christmas gift - complete with glittery star confetti, tissue and ribbons! They were so knowledgeable, reassuring and patient with my daughter, had a fabulous choice of earrings and she had a full 45 minute appointment to herself in a really lovely lounge area and private upstairs studio complete with all the privacy and mirrors every little girls heart would desire. I was even surprised to find this much nicer experience was no more than I was quoted for the shop window experience Claire’s offers. I’ve witnessed several times now the care they have taken in helping customers, choose jewellery for themselves or as gifts at varying price points and would absolutely make them my first choice for purchases in the future. How fabulous to have such a traditionally customer focused business that really seem to care in our town”

“Had my ears pierced a month ago. My ears are healing nicely and I've not had any issues. As an adult going in for a first piercing the staff were fantastic, made me feel really comfortable and the peircer talked through everything he was doing, fantastic experience. I'm now thinking about getting a 2nd lobe piercing here in the future. FYI it's cash-only, but not an issue as there are several cash points across the street.”

“Sold my two gold chains and two gold coins after reading the reviews and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount offered and walked away with a fair deal. The owner is kind and makes you feel welcome and explains the whole process. Highly recommend!”

“Properly good local cafe/bar. Perfect for a morning coffee, a spot of food, or an evening beer. Very relaxed place and friendly owners”

“I was experiencing problems with a diamond ring and took it to Harveys for repair. After considering my options I decided to have a new ring made using the diamonds from the old ring and Harvey produced 2 designs for me to choose from. 4 weeks later I returned to the shop to pick my new ring up. To say I was surprised is an understatement. The quality of the workmanship from the workshop staff was superb and I'd like to include them in this review in recognition of their involvement in producing the best ring I've ever owned. Harvey was, of course, really helpful with advice and guidance and the service was second to none.”

“Fantastic hidden gem. Lots of beautiful jewelry, watches etc and loads of cool gifts etc - dream catches, bags, doctor who merchandise, clocks, mirrors and more. It's small appearance is misleading - you will find many treasures inside! And just ask the gentleman at the till if you want recommendations!”

“Had 6 piercings, very clean , staff were very friendly, would definitely recommend to friends and family”

“The Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art is a contemporary art gallery based in Manchester, England. It is located on Thomas Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter in part of the renovated Smithfield Market Hall. Champion became the Director of the Centre when it moved to new premises on Edge Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter in 1997. This was period of great change in Centre's functions and focus. More opportunities became available due to both the policies of the new Labour government, who placed greater emphasis on the importance of culture, and the increased interest in Chinese culture due to the upcoming Handover of Hong Kong. By moving away from Chinatown, the Centre also became less focused on the local Chinese community; instead focusing more on contemporary art. It was also Champion's aim that the Centre would work towards becoming the UK agency for Chinese arts and culture. The Centre would operate as an agency from 1999 and the charity was renamed the Chinese Arts Centre Ltd in September 2000. UK based artists remained the main focus of the Centre's exhibition programme during this period. Initially the Centre's programme largely featured solo shows of existing works by artists such as Adam Hongshan Wei and Anthony Key, or touring exhibitions, such as Nora Fok's Galaxies. When the venue was refurbished after a fire in 1998, the Centre began to commission new site specific works by UK-based artists of east Asian heritage to use the new space to its best advantage. Between 2000-2003, the New Commissions scheme, produced 8 exhibitions by emerging artists such as Suki Chan, Lisa Cheung, Gayle Chong Kwan, and Jiang Jiehong. As part of its agency work, the Centre extended the scope of its educational workshops to a national audience and acted as a focal point for other businesses and art organisations who wanted to know more about Chinese culture. The Centre began to contribute to debates regarding Chinese arts by arranging conferences such as A New Vocabulary for Chinese Arts?, held in London in 1998, and Contemporary Chinese Art in the International Arena held at the British Museum in 2002. The Centre also began to develop global contacts to introduce international artists to the UK audiences. In 1997 Champion undertook a research trip to China with the aim of introducing the Centre to an international audiences and developing partnerships with organisations in mainland China. As a result the Centre produced Representing the People (1999), its first major touring exhibition to feature works by artist from mainland China. Developed in collaboration with the Courtyard gallery, Beijing, the exhibition was seen by approximately 250,000 people, and has been seen as one of the first independent UK exhibition to present the work of artists from Mainland China. This was followed by a second touring show, Made in China (2001-2002) which showcased contemporary design from China. In June 2001, the Centre was informed that it had been accepted on to the Arts Council of England's lottery programme and £2.1 million was reserved for the Centre to purchase and outfit a new building as well as fund the operations and marketing of the new venue.”

“Enjoyed my day making lots of pieces. Off back to play with silver clay.”

“Unique designer jewellery. But Anne also refashions old items into something new. She made two necklaces out of a brooch and a bracelet I had inherited. She took great care over the alterations and I'm delighted! Thanks.”

“I had a bespoke gold bracelet designed and made by this goldsmith. He included in the design everything I asked for and more. The finished article surpassed my expectations and was absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship that went into the bracelet was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and the after sales service was far more than I expected. So glad I found you.”

“I'm so happy with my ring that Tara has made for me. Such a talented, helpful lady.”

“A very friendly and professional service. I recently used the shop for servicing and maintenance of a couple of watches. They were returned to me without a long wait, the refurbishment work was excellent. I consider the cost very reasonable too. Unlike a mainstream city centre jeweller, you're dealing directly with the proprietor, hence the excellent 5 Star service.”
