Smiths Jewellers

Smiths is not glamorous, in fact when you’re walking up the close of the tenement building it resides in on St. Enoch Square, you might feel like you’re in a scene out of Trainspotting. It’s rather dirty, there’s a rickety old lift with the pull over metal bars and the whole place smells of very strong disinfectant. If you are a little put off by the lift then don’t worry as there is a friendly man who works in the lift opening and closing the doors and helping customers find what they are looking for.
Smiths is on the third floor and as I said, when you enter it isn’t glamorous but do not let that put you off as the people working here are experts at their trade. I used to work in a jewellers and whenever our workshop was full — the rest was sent to Smiths. Many Jewellers in the city centre use Smiths and I have seen Links of London staff here many a time when I have popped in. I also get my own personal jewellery sized and repaired here. They’ve sized a few rings for me and also taken links out of bracelets, ring sizing is never more than £10 for silver and if you need something quick smart they can generally sort something out for you.
Smiths has been in the business for years and even though it’s not shiny and sparkly, chances are if you’ve had something sized from a jewellers in Glasgow they’ll have sent it here to save them waiting to get it sized in their own workshops if they’re too busy.
