Love the atmosphere in the store and I’m always pleased to be greeted with a cheerful ‘hello’ and then allowed to browse, lost in my own thoughts. I’m asked if I have any questions to just ask. No pressure. I love the jewellery by Keith Jack who makes about 2⁄3 of the designs in the store. His gold and silver rings and pendants really exceptional. The other designers offer some really nice pieces too, and I decided on a sterling silver Trinity pendant on a silver necklace for a girlfriend for under $ 50.(She loved it!) If you like celtic art, books, china, crystal, leather and decorative objects, I’d recommend you drop in for a look around. Feel free to ask questions; the staff do their best to give you the answer and they know their celtic folklore, too. The store’s website is way out of date(which they admit) but you can view Keith Jack’s jewellery on his website( ) before you come to the store; they carry everything he designs including some one-of-a-kind pieces. I got great service being fitted for my first Keith Jack ring. I’ll be back for more!

I bought my gorgeously unique engagement ring there. The owner bent over backwards to make sure the ring was customized to fit my hand arthritic fingers perfectly and that I was completely happy.

I really wanted to like this place, it had a charm. Dating an Irish guy I wanted to get him something special. I noticed a cool pin that had his family crest. Seeing as how he collects pins, I thought that it would be a sweet gift. I inquired about the cost of the pin to the cashier with a response too rich at the moment for a pin, however, I was walking around with it as I was debating whether the price was worth a non holiday gift. As I was walking around browsing, pin still in hand, the lady said, «Are you going to buy it or should I put it away for you?» I didn’t tell her that I didn’t want it, nor did my body language or expression explain as such, she made an unfair assumption. Excuse me, I didn’t think that there was a time limit to purchase anything, especially since I was still browsing. Her attitude put me off completely and I just walked out of the store. It’s a shame ’cause the store had a lot of cool things to offer. I’ve never seen a store like that in the city. I just cannot invest in a business with someone that is so rude.

Great authentic/traditional Irish store! Wonderful and knowledgeable staff. My father is from Ireland and this store offers everything under the rainbow, from Belleek Pottery/China to Waterford Crystal. The jewelry is custom made and beautiful. If you are in need of anything«Celtic» be sure to check them out.

Of course, you’ll find a lot of traditional Irish stuff at Celtic Creations. But in addition to the Waterford crystal and the Claddagh rings, you’ll also find Utilikilts. What are Utilikilts? Why they are a cross between your favourite cargo pants and a kilt. Clearly, this store has a little bit of everything and something to suit all your diverse needs.

Let’s say you went to Dublin. Let’s say you went to the Guinness Brewery. Let’s say you had breakfast, but spend three hours winding your way through the museum, until you reach the bar on the top floor. Let’s say you drank your free pint of Guinness(yes, free) on an empty stomach, and by the time you made it back down to the gift shop at the entrance, you were kinda drunk; too drunk to be trusted with carrying souvenir glasses back to your hotel. Well, a visit to the Celtic Creations shop will allow you to flawlessly fake that you brought gifts straight from the temple o’ Guinness, or anywhere else in Ireland that you got too drunk to shop. They’ve got all the«Goodness my Guinness» gear you’d ever want, as well as gorgeous Irish jewellery, leather work, and crystal. I love those intricate spiral designs on many items. Someone special once gave me one of the leather-covered diaries and it’s one of my favourite things in the world. When I finish one book, too, I can buy refill pages, slip them inside the soft leather sleeve and keep on writing.
