Hi

We were thinking of opening a Jewellers in Campbeltown, maybe in the near future, we have 4 shops already and mainly specialise in gold / diamonds, I notice a couple of gift shops in the town centre that do some jewellery, so do you think there would be any demand for discounted gold

Our shops have the same layout of H Samuel, and we carry the same style stock including brand watches all at great prices...

There seems to be a few empty shops still in the town centre area, so do you think there would be any interest in this type of business, we do not sell any type of costume jewellery, which I know is quite popular, our 9ct gold prices start at the same price as you will pay for costume items

All opinions greatly received...

I would be interested as I havn't found someone who does basic gold earrings. Would you be able to offer a repair service? I've some pieces of jewellery and watches which need repairing.

Since the price of gold is currently on the up ... and the price of paper money is currently on the down ... and the tv is swamped with adverts saying ... give us your gold .... there might well be a demand...... Btw ... if you are reading this ... and you own gold ... don't sell it ... because it's rocketing in price right now ... and is forecast to totally go through the roof ... else why do you think people would pay for tv adverts .... hang on to your gold (and silver|) !!!!

Quite a few shops sell good jewellery already in the town and in Kintyre there are already three businesses making jewellery - both gold and silver - which is sold locally as well as away. Also, being so remote many people are used to using internet and mail order shopping and are well used to going up the road to shop. It would be lovely to see new and exciting shops filling the town, better still if they sold things that we cannot already buy so easily.
