This is my second time reviewing a retail store so I’m still trying to get the grading system down. Overall, a pleasurable experience. The staff is amazing personable and professional at the same time to uphold the look of a higher end accessory store. Have had no problems with them not smiling or at least offering a conversation or two when I’ve walked in so far.
The layout is very clean and brightly lit. A bit small but still maneuverable. When you walk in, there is a counter on the left where you can sit and have them show you certain pieces. To the right is the register and to the back of the store is a circular table that showcases a few more pieces. The organization of the store does create a nice flow without overpacking any of the tables, thus allowing for a very appealing spread that way the client can take a look at everything without feeling that there is just too much to look at.
Now onto the major part of any jewelry or accessory business: the price and quality. Price wise, it is definitely affordable. I would assess that you are getting what you pay for. However, not all of their items are to my own personal liking. To each their own. I can definitely see the creativity and inspiration within each piece though. Outside of creativity, I will say that the quality is up to par but not the best I’m sure is out there. I don’t know if it’s the type of metal or how they shape it but I just don’t feel that it’s the best out there. Still, I am a fan of the quality, service, and pricing. The plus side is that the crystals they use are not dyed. Some people don’t know that crystals are sometimes injected with extra dye to make them appear a deeper color. Links of London ensures that their crystals and gems are 100% pure.
Overall, I would recommend stopping by this shop for a nice charm, bracelet, necklace or even watch for a present for that special someone because there are some fabulous pieces to be found. Affordable and with a decent amount of elegance. I’m keeping this store in mind when Christmas rolls around. :]
