Hi im trying to find the name of a small jewellers that was trading on capel st. dublin, in the late 70's or early 80's i think it was on the right handside if you were walking towards the liffey, any ideas much appreciated.
 
I can remember one being there alright but not the name. It was quite small. The other one on the right hand side heading towards Bolton St. I think was called Brenfer Jewellers. They seem to concentrate on trophies, medals and engraving.
 
thanks for the replies so far, no it wasn't Brenfer's or breretons,i think it was located somewhere between the Mary st. junction and Ormond Quay,
 
Don't remember any jewellers in that area of Capel Street myself. I remember Flitterman's clothes store somewhere near Lenehans. Weird place. The changing room was in another door separate from the shop and Herr Flitterman used to lock you (well me anyway! :eek:) in while you tried stuff on. He remained outside I hasten to add! :D
 
sentimental reasons as i purchased an item for the love of my life there, around that time and she is now MRS NAD,and had been trying to remember the name of the shop when we were talking lately but to no avail.

I passed there the other day and see that Berlin Opticians are still open for business. I reckon they were there at that stage stage and the optician who runs the store should be able to tell you the name if you want to give them a call.

Was it Diagem? I know in the latter days they became Diagem electronics and sold alarm systems and phones but as I recall they originally sold jewellery. They had a shop off Grafton Street too
 
There was a shop on the right at the Liffey end of the street, but the only name that I can remember is a Mr Walsh. does that ring any bells
 
I also remember a jeweller called Walsh in that area - himself and his son ran the place, as far as I know both are now deceased.

Diagem was on the left hand side just before the bridge. They later moved nearer to Bolton St. on the opposite side. Remember the shop at Grafton St. too. It was in the mall just before Brown Thomas.

This jewellers in Capel St. was on the right heading towards the bridge.
