JEWELLERY QUARTER

The Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham, is one of the top spots for jewellery retailers. There are around 700 jewellers who have set shop there. Apart from the jewellery stores, you will also find numerous restaurants, pubs, and cafes in the area. It is truly one of the most popular tourist places in Birmingham.

Amongst the shops, you will find numerous art galleries and museums. You can enter the time warp and go back to   the past. You can also sell, buy, or get your jewellery repaired at the place. Moreover, the craftsmen are competent enough to create both vintage pieces and contemporary pieces. If you love bargaining, you can do that while buying jewellery and small accessories here. Biddle and Webb have auctions, where you can access cool bargains.

This is one of the most popular auction houses in the UK. If you are travelling by train, then you must get down at Jewellery Quarter Station on Vyse Street. For roadsters, you can also drive to the location. The best part is you can have gifts made with minimal gold or silver and take them back home.
