Barclay's Fine Jewellers

Jewellery store in Athlone Court doing engagement rings, custom design and repairs; appointments are recommended.

Known for turning inherited pieces into something you'll actually wear

Our take

Barclay's has been on the Avenue since 1986, and the Beattie family has run it for decades since moving from New Zealand. Their daughter Danielle, a GIA graduate gemologist, now manages the store. The design studio is upstairs, along with a bridal showroom. Its specialty is redesign: a mother's pearls made into earrings, or a grandmother's stones reset in a new ring. One client commissioned a wedding ring that gains a stone every anniversary.

Local tipThey won't resize rings bought elsewhere, and they don't do silver repairs or engraving. Book custom consultations online.
