Kara is an unpretentious boutique-like jewellery shop in the Plaza Arcade with beautiful classy pieces and an eye-catching shop window.
Kara is an official stockist for some of my favourite silver brands: Thomas Sabo and Georgini, but also caters for Rochet Bijoux (for men). If you fancy their pieces and style, or you just want something truly beautiful and classy for an special occasion or for every day, Kara is your place.They also have a small corner with pearls, but I did not find them as appealing as the other pieces in the shop.
The shop-attendant is actually the owner of the shop, a very nice kind lady, who will treat you with old-fashioned courtesy, which is so rare nowadays. If you request it with elegance, and show real interest, she will make a little discount or show you pieces within your budget. Most of the items are in locked shop-windows, so you have to ask the lady to take them out for you to try. Don't panic, she is human and won't eat you!
The shop is pricey in general, but many of the charms and tiny pendants are affordable, and will get lots of attention from both your girlfriends, you expect that, and from straight men, the latter being a surprise to me.
The volume of items of display is small, still is more than enough for you choose from. I miss always a standing mirror, and not the hand-mirror they have.
They don't have a website.
UPDATE
The shop has closed down permanently.
