There wasn’t a lot that took my interest here. The stock looked cheap and the shop looked very stark. A good selection of pearls but quality was lacking.

Although there isn’t much to my taste in this store, I do appreciate Yin’s dedication to pearls and precious stones. There are some great deals to be had here if you want a string of pearls to go with your twinset(around £50 and up) and the necklaces, bracelets and rings are very unusual in their design. From Tigers Eye through to Agate, Amethyst and Red Coral, Yin sources the best stones for their gold and silver settings. One thing I was sad to see though is that they succumbed to the charm bracelet phenomenon that’s sweeping the nation at the moment(buy your bracelet then collect your beads, you know the drill) but I guess times are hard and trends are hard to pass up.

This is a really interesting jewellers cruelly placed near Argos, fancy dress shops and the extra seating for the Food Court upstairs in the Arndale. I stopped in recently because I just can’t resist a red Sale sign especially when they put how much it was in big numbers. I digress. Yin Jewellery is a sweet little jewellers with some standard pieces alongside a good selection of pearls and precious stones, some exotic looking Chinese and Japanese pieces, like an amazing brooch that was unfortunately still out of my price range, and their own designed jewellery to boot. Great for wedding pieces. They also offer jewellery repair.
