The selection and unique items in this store are really quite nice. There are one-of-a-kind pieces from artists and they are quite beautiful. From a service perspective, I’ve had great experiences buying in this store, however I recently had an item repaired and unfortunately the repair failed. When I brought it back I was surprised at the attitude I received. Really quite snobby and not even a smile on the sales woman’s face. I guess if you want to buy something in this store, they will be all over you, but look out if you have to bring something to be repaired. Quite the change of tune.

I never thought I’d review a jewelry store, but this place is my go to last minute store before anniversaries, birthdays, and xmas. I consistently have a good experience there. I always feel like they’re sticking it to me at the mall or chain stores because I don’t know a thing about jewelry. This place has unique stuff, but the main draw is that the staff are unbelievably patient and knowledgeable, and don’t rush me or make me feel like a chump when I tell them my modest budget up front. There’s also enough of them to give you some personalized service. If you’re a clueless husband/boyfriend looking to get something unique, keep your cash local, avoid a lot of upselling, and have a good customer experience… this is the place to go in Halifax IMO. (Also, they were really nice to my cranky 2 year old and kept him busy while I got help, and that’s on Dec 24 at their busiest. That’s the kind of service I’m talking about.)

As a husband, I appreciate that I can always find something nice for my wife at Fireworks. I like the fact that everything seems unique and artisan unlike cookie cutter products like Peoples, etc.

Oh man, there are some amazing jewelry artists in this province! I’m going to need to pull off some highly illegal stunts to afford everything I want here. I could easily wear half the store. Well, the yellow gold half, anyway. FireWorks is a great place to find unique pieces that are truly one of a kind. Yes, that means you are paying one of a kind prices, but I think it’s worth it if you buy a piece you really love and cherish, and will wear all the time. Plus, it’s a beautiful way to celebrate an important milestone in your life, because you’ll always remember the feeling of victory when you put it on. If you’re looking for somewhere to create a special custom ring or necklace, look no further than here. There’s almost always a consultation for custom work going on when I stop in, and it’s so interesting to listen to the ideas people have and the clever tricks artists have for putting those ideas into reality. Stop in and see what creative sparks of your own might go off.

Stopped in here to find wedding bands. We’ve looked at a few of the typical stores in the mall for bands and they carry the typical bands you’d expect to find. FireWorks is different. The sales associate who helped us was friendly and knowledgeable. She asked questions to try and help with the decision making process. Other places were friendly but not really digging for answers to understand what you are really«digging» or not. It seems to be a little more expensive than the«typical» mall jewellery store, but I think it will be worth the additional cost over time.

Anything that you would like to buy me from this store I would be grateful for. Since 1977 Goldsmiths have been hard at work at the Firework Gallery. I myself have been in this location many of times just to look at all the beautiful pieces that are for sale or to see what was being produced. What I mean is that not only do the sell jewelry as well as Estate Jewelry they will customer design and create some of the most unique and exquisite designs that you will see. I love to go in and look in the counters and glass cases to get some ideas. As well they are able to repair your jewelry as well. Now pieces like you will find here are going to cost you some money but like my mother always said Quality over quantity and that is what you are going to get here Quality.

Very cool selection that we wish we’d spent longer looking at. Lots of custom designed, unique stuff that you don’t see everywhere.

Initially my reaction to Fireworks Gallery was: ho-hum…just another jewelry store chalk full of items I can not remotely afford. This was until I learned about the massive niche they fill in terms of carrying exclusively conflict-free diamonds. Not only that, but Fireworks also encourages local designers to use recycled gold from old jewelry as opposed to newly mined stuff. I’m sure when I get my next hankering for some jewels it will be to Fireworks I go.

The Fireworks Gallery stepped up to the plate and hit a solid home run this afternoon when I ducked inside for a peek. I was greeted by a cheerful, helpful woman who explained the store’s layout. There are loads of Canadian designers, along with a showcase dedicated to pieces made on site. The light was great for viewing the details of individual pieces, and the displays were tasteful and well arranged. I marveled at some pieces in the estate section, and enjoyed looking at a collection by Halifax designer Peter Lawrence. I was also taken by Becky Kelso’s work(I don’t remember her place of origin). My ultimate favorite was a delightful line called Tashi, which took its inspiration from the natural world, modern design elements and perhaps Buddhist stylings. This shop caters to a variety of budgets and provides topnotch customer service, sure to make any visitor feel welcome and appreciated. I’ll definitely start popping in more often!

Fireworks is a charming jewelry store in downtown Halifax. Most of their stock are custom or artisan pieces, making it almost certain for you to find the piece you’ve been looking for. The staff at Fireworks is incredibly helpful, even when you’re just window shopping. I’ve been in many times and never have I gotten the feeling of being a nuisance, unlike other stores that tend to dismiss you if you’re not ready to dole out some serious change on the spot. Fireworks’ custom jewelry is amazing. Beautiful rings abound, with many appropriate for a commitment ceremony or wedding. Many of the pendants are beautifully crafted, both delicate and handsome at the same time. I’ve always found Fireworks to offer good value for what they charge. the pieces are a lot more affordable than I would have imagined.

Fireworks Gallery is a little jewelry store and display room for high end jewelry. With five goldsmiths on staff who offer professional jewellery repair and restoration, as well as design and create all the jewelry sold here, this store is one of a kind and offers something more than other, traditional jewelry stores in the city. The stock of jewelry is one of a kind. Fireworks offers gold, and sterling settings with custom diamond inlays. Bridal rings are big here as well, and because they can create custom pieces, you can walk away with a one of a kind ring to call your own. This certainly isn’t the type of place that I would go with the intention of casually buying anything. Prices are pretty steep, but I did have my eye on a Celtic knot ring that was pretty cool, so I might have to drop some hints about it. Hot Hint: If you’re interested in seeing what Fireworks Gallery has to offer but can’t make it to their Barrington Street location, they have their stock and online ordering options on their website.

Fireworks has always been one of my favourite jewellery stores. I have dreamed my way around this store many times. I go in here when ever I am walking along Barrington Street. Fireworks has very unique piece of spectacular jewellery. I like the fact that you will not see it on anyone else. They have one of a kind pieces. I like silver and they have beautiful necklaces. I also have taken jewellery here to get it repaired.

This is where you go to get Diamonds, not Fireworks. I just wanted to clear that up first and foremost. Let me explain the number one reason why I love Fireworks Gallery. Its not because they design their own jewelry and mix it among the other name brand jewelry they sell. It isn’t because the customer service is very good. It is because about half of their diamonds come from Canada. Why is that so important? Well if you haven’t heard of «blood diamonds» and aren’t aware of the damage to peoples lives diamonds bought in certain areas of the world can cause, I’d suggest you do some research. So when you buy diamonds found in Canada, you are guaranteed that bad things aren’t happening to good people to get that diamond from the Mine to your hand. The Staff have also informed me that they are trying to sell only Arctic Canadian diamonds which will eventually mean 100% of their inventory can be traced back to a Canadian Mine. This means, not only are they a local store selling local and name brand jewelry, but they are a conscious business looking after the welfare of those who make the products they sell. Their products are fantastic as well. Very unique designs and for the most part fair prices. I would definitely say they are competitive with their pricing but it is still a bit high and why I don’t have five stars. But I did wrestle with whether or not I should or shouldn’t give them five stars. Because I feel their prices are close to ideal and choosing to sell only Canadian Diamonds, thus avoiding any«blood diamonds» coming in, deserves a few stars at the very least. If you are in the area, check them out. You will find amazing, hand crafted designs you won’t find elsewhere!

It’s hard not to sigh when you enter Fire Works Gallery. Everything is so… glittery. I don’t even wear much jewellery, but when I’m in this shop, I have a strange desire to festoon myself with silver and gold. The shop is filled with unique artisanal jewellery and is known for its custom design work. My partner and I had rings(which we designed) custom-made here years ago for our tenth anniversary. The silversmith did great work, exactly to our specifications. Staff are courteous and knowledgeable, and the shop is always busy — even in these times of «restraint.» Sometimes just a little extravagance is justifiable, no?
