Aral Balkan<p>Just 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).</p><p>In a world of faceless corporations you forget sometimes how lovely people can be.</p><p>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.</p><p>💕</p><p><a href="https://silverphoenix.ie" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">silverphoenix.ie</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SilverPhoenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilverPhoenix</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ireland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/watches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watches</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/wallets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wallets</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/pens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pens</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/sizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sizing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Bray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bray</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/online" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>online</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/independent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>independent</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/shopLocal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shopLocal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/shopIrish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shopIrish</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/local" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>local</span></a></p>
