The Charm Shop

A great little store, perfect for buying gifts, no matter what the occasion is. I’ve brought charms for my mum, charms for my friends, charms for my sister in law, and I will no doubt be buying charms for my new little niece in the future.
They have such a huge range, of everything you can think of, and things you probably never would have.
I’ve always received fantastic service, everytime I’ve been in here whether I’m buying or just browsing.

Although I have never been into charm bracelets because I think they are kind of tacky, this was actually a really cool store and I was surprised at how much I liked it. It is pretty much just a selection of any sort of charm or little pendant in any shape or design that you could ask for. There is range of star sign, religious symbols including crosses and animals. Then there are theme charms for weddings, milestone birthdays or graduations.
There is selection of most charms in silver and gold, with the gold ones being of course the more expensive. The lady behind the counter was nice and asked immediately if we needed assistance. The set up is pretty good as well with each organised into categories (eg all the butterfly charms together) which means if you are looking for something in particular it is easy to find for such a small object.

Yep — You’ve charmed me, alright.
Let me give you a bloke’s perspective on this place:
This store just gets better and better the longer you look around — if you ever take a trip down to City Cross, you must drop by here.
There are several pieces that will make anyone, regardless of their gender, make you say WOW! A word of warning, the bigger, shinier and better it looks, obviously the higher the price. The ones I was impressed with were simply out of my league. I’m talking about the ‘Thomas Sabo’ brand of jewellery on display in their front window!
But here’s the thing… you need to give The Charm Shop some time to soak in. They strategically place the best jewels in the front window, and I couldn’t help myself but ask the shop assistant to take it out for a closer look — it’s up to you, and how much you can afford. You can either just look around, or buy some of the more affordable pieces.
How low can you go? How low… can you go? Your eyes will really enjoy looking through each window! If you’re good, you’ll find a certain window with the lowest prices, and I heard the shop assistant tell me what sounded like music to my ears: 10 DOLLARS.
What? Say that again? 10 dollars for that?! Can that piece of jewellery really be priced that low?! So there you have it, The Charm Shop has some of the cutest and tiniest jewelry for under $ 11! This is a very interesting store that will suit all customers, no matter how much they got to spend!
Another thing I really liked about this store was that they had jewellery made in Australia, but also tiny bits of jewellery imported from other countries i.e., USA, Canada, UK etc.
It’s also a very excellent place to go to if you’re stuck for gift ideas for your female companion. The shop assistant educated me and said I have to start off choosing a bracelet first, and then adding the jewels to that.
Listen, everyone, if you need affordable jewellery, this shop will charm the pants (including your wallet) off of you.

Another specialty shop, and these people specialise well!
I went to every single gift and jewellery store in a major shpping centre looking for something specific. You see I gave a BFF of mine a charm bracelet as a gift not long after we met. It was to make my life in gift deciding much easier and for her to have something that got bigger and better with time, as our friendship would. Ahhhh, how sentimental! So each birthday, Xmas, special event I buy her another charm for the bracelet. At Xmas I got a cute present charm, her cat died so I got a cat charm, etc. It was her 40^th birthday so I wanted a 40^th type charm, not just any one, to represent the milestones we have been through together. Not one anywhere. In the end a lovely helpful sales assistant made some suggestions, and one was this shop. I found exactly what I wanted. Funny I couldn’t get one from anywhere and I found about 5 online.
I rarely ever go into the city anymore so the fact you can also order online and get your item/​s delivered is even better. You even get to choose what type of hook /​clasp you want for your purchase. I always buy the same type so it means I can get any charm they sell and pick my own attachment, whereas most shops you can only pick from the ones with that attachment already on them.

The Charm Shop has become one of my new favourite places to look for gifts for people. A small shop front located in City Cross in Rundle Mall, The Charm Shop is packed full of gold and silver pendants. Not only are there pendants, there are pendants which represent everything that could be thought of! All placed in their own little sections, the pendants available range from crucifixes, stars of David, and other religious symbols, to pendants which represent different sports, animals, professions and hobbies. Not only was there a section for ‘dog’ pendants, there were also breeds of dogs that you could get. Prices for these pendants range from as cheap as $ 15 to as dear as $ 250, depending on the style and size you’re looking for. I could spend a long time in this store looking at buying something unique for every person I know. I was seriously impressed. Also, the staff there were extremely helpful and nice.
