Worth a visit but I expect you will not buy, as costing hundreds or even thousands
More like a museum. But some things are cheaper, so you never know what you might find.

The store is great !! Everything looks high quality and we'll preserved. I feel like I should have been charged to go in because the store looks like a museum. I am also quite happy with my shopping there. I bought two rings that I now wear every single day.

A hidden gem if you're visiting Plymouth. Truly a museum than a shop! May be as some Google reviews claim the articles to be overpriced; It is not my subject of interest too. As an art-lover one can always find something to be amazed by the variety of articles displayed.
Norman on the counter was very friendly and chilled. He didn't miss to brag the fact that not only the details are correct on pink plaque (see photo) but also the shop has featured thrice on 'Antiques Roadshow' - a BBC programme. Even a few minutes spend will not be wasted. Museum with paid entry ticket at times did not give
