About Us

About Aladdin’s Cave Leeds

Nestled in the heart of Leeds, Yorkshire, Aladdin’s Cave is a one-of-a-kind jewellery shop filled with antique and vintage treasures.
Steeped in history and full of charm, our shop has been family-run since the early 1980s. Known for our ever-changing cabinets of one-off pieces, warm customer service and deep knowledge of antique jewellery, we’ve become a trusted name for unique finds in West Yorkshire and beyond.

A Family Tradition

Located in the much-loved Queen’s Arcade in Leeds City Centre, the shop is run by Jessica Spencer and her mother Roberta Swift, daughter of the original founder, Peter Isaacs, who was widely respected in the jewellery trade.

Jessica, who joined the business in 2003, has always had a passion for vintage jewellery. She regularly travels across the UK to auctions and fairs, sourcing unique pieces, especially Art Deco designs, which she loves for their boldness and style.

From Queen’s Arcade to Worldwide

After the pandemic, Jessica launched our online shop in June 2020, opening up our treasure trove to customers all over the world. She now oversees our digital presence—photographing new pieces, writing descriptions and sharing the stories behind the jewellery on Instagram and beyond.

Whether you visit us in-store or online, you’ll find pieces you won’t see on the high street; vintage engagement rings, silver lockets, bold gem-set rings, and more. As interest in sustainable fashion grows, more customers are turning to us for meaningful, one-off jewellery that’s not mass-produced.

We’re proud to offer something different: jewellery with character, history and soul. Whether you’re buying a gift, marking a moment, or simply treating yourself, we’re here to help you find the piece that feels just right.

Our Ethos

At Aladdin’s Cave, we believe jewellery should mean something.

Each piece in our collection, whether antique, vintage or newly made in vintage style, is chosen for its character, craftsmanship and soul. We value quality over quantity, timelessness over trend, and sentiment over sparkle for sparkle’s sake.

We’re a family-run business with over 45 years of experience, but our focus has always stayed the same: sourcing beautiful, meaningful jewellery and offering the kind of personal service that makes shopping feel like a conversation, not a transaction.

We support slow fashion and believe in giving new life to old treasures. Most of what we sell is one-of-a-kind. It’s not mass-produced. It won’t be found in high street windows. And that’s exactly the point.

Whether you’re buying an engagement ring, a birthday gift or something just for you, we’re here to help you find a piece that fits- not just your hand, but your story.
