Fidra Jewellers

The lovely Brighton Lanes… What better place to go and search for a vintage dream of a wedding ring. Love meandering through the Lanes and stopping like the magpie that I am at every gleaming jewel in each quaint jewellers window. Que, Fidra… specialist in art deco, Victorian, and Edwardian delights.
Fell head over heels with a 1930s art deco platinum and gold piece in the window and promptly rung the bell to try her on. Two lovely ladies awaited inside to attend to my every whim. They were so helpful and laid back. No pressure selling here. The ring was slightly to large and so resizing and posting was included into the price. Happy times. It also comes in a little antique heart shaped jewellery box. Er sold!
I went back 3 times to see the ring and make sure she def was the one and they were as nice each time, didnt get eggy with my anal ring buyingness.
The shop itself is ickle and ye oldy feeling. Red velvet Louis style chairs, beams, low ceilings and champers bottles with red roses line a mantle piece. So glad my ring has a happy story and past and even happier I purchased from here.

This jewellery store has such an olde worlde feel about it. It wouldn’t look out of place on the set of Harry Potter. Specialising in Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco jewellery, there are some stunning items in here if you’re into vintage. However, the prices sometimes feel a little inflated compared to other stores containing similar period pieces. Yet the level of service and care paid to the stock is undeniable.
There’s also a great section of costume jewellery and a wonderful collection of Victorian (Whitby) Jet, something you don’t see a lot of these days. A great place if only to have a poke around and learn a little about past treasures.
