Kavanagh Engravers

If you need some engraving done, then Kavanaghs is the place to come. They will engrave anything. The great thing about this place too is that they stock a whole range of lovely things to buy as gifts which they will engrave for free for you. Offering things like zippo lighters, frames, albums. Great wee gifts that are a little different that the mass produced products in Debenhams or clintons. Its located on Gresham street which is out the back entrance of Castle Cour shopping centre near Smithfields. But certainly worth the dander over if engraving is what you’re after!

This shop will engrave anything onto anything — which can be handy if you want to send an ex-​boyfriend something tasteless in the post with a message engraved on it. Don’t ask.
The jewellery they stock here is very specific to people who enjoy large silver microphones on large silver chains, yellow gold (boak– not my taste!), large words such as ‘cool’ hanging from a yellow chain or anything Claddagh — if you were a tourist you could pick up a nice wee Claddagh ring in here.
They have a very nice collection of Zippo lighters in the window, not many places seem to sell these anymore so it’s good to know that Kavanagh’s have a decent selection.
The staff are the salt of the earth and will provide a good service for a decent price.
So, if your teenage boy wants a yellow gold tiger necklace or a big yellow gold coin ring — you know where to send him!

Not somewhere I would actually BUY jewellery, as it doesn’t really stock items that are to my taste — they offer coin rings, claddagh hoops and lots and lots of yellow gold — not my cup of tea at all, but I’m sure some others must like it, because Kavanagh’s has been around for quite some time and must be popular. They also offer an engraving service, which I’ve used and it’s reasonable and the service is reliable. The staff are kind of down-​to-​earth, straightforward people, no airs and graces, so don’t expect fancy treatment, it’s not that sort of jewellers. They also do a valuation service which we used for an antique ring we have, and they were very helpful with that process too. Not my recommendation to buy jewellery but would definitely use thier valuation and engraving services again.
