Due to the unprecedented heat and our lack of air conditioning, we have made the decision to close the shop from Tuesday to Thursday this week to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of our staff and customers.

We will be back open on Friday, 26 June 2026.
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back later in the week.

You can always rely on Xuron track cutters which consistently out perform jewellery snips. Perfect for removing rings from swollen fingers as Adrian Butler recently discovered. Pick up a pair from the shop which is back open tomorrow from 10am.

We hope all our customers had a wonderful Christmas 🎄🎁🚂
