Aral BalkanJust had the loveliest experience while getting my watch strap resized at Silver Phoenix in Bray. They’re a tiny, independent two-person jewellers – Jolita and Martin – and they took such care (Martin resized it three times and did a micro-adjustment and then undid it until we found the perfect fit).In a world of faceless corporations you forget sometimes how lovely people can be.So if you’re looking for jewellery, a watch, wallet or pen (or repairs/sizing/etc.), give them a shout and support a tiny local business that’s been going for five years now.💕<a href="https://silverphoenix.ie" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://silverphoenix.ie</a><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SilverPhoenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SilverPhoenix</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ireland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jewellery</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/watches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watches</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/wallets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wallets</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/pens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pens</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/sizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sizing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Bray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bray</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/online" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#online</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/independent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#independent</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/shopLocal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shopLocal</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/shopIrish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shopIrish</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/local" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#local</a>
