Quality jewellery
Sep 2021
Blue John gems is a shop selling quality jewellery, specialising in blue John jewellery but also sells a selection of gifts and other jewellery. There are also impressive specimens of blue John to look at. The staff are really friendly and very helpful. I am a regular customer and have purchased some lovely jewellery from them.

Amazing staff and customer support.
Dec 2020
The items I bought were all wonderful and in perfect condition as expected :)
But the customer support I received on an item they didn't have in stock was phenomenal. The amount of effort that went into finding a small item for me was truly amazing and beyond what I could ever reasonably expect. Would recommend shopping here to anyone on their staff alone.

Great little jewellery shop in Castleton High Street. I purchased a couple items, one gold and one silver both of which included the locally sourced Blue John Stone. The staff were both friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

These caves are truly worth a visit - a few steps down and back but worth every step - the guide was great a and explained a lot about the caves and the Blue John veins running through these deep caves

This is one of 4 or 5 jewellers shops spread around the village. Shop around. The prices are all about the same. I have no idea any more if it is value for money in Castleton. Blue John is, according to the brochure, unique in Britain.
