Our Story- Featured on Welcome to Leeds
Jess2025-09-08T13:55:15+00:00We were delighted to be featured by Welcome to Leeds, a platform that shines a light on the independent businesses, creative spaces, and hidden gems that make our city special. To us, being part of Leeds isn’t just about running a shop, it’s about being woven into the history and heartbeat of Queen’s Arcade, where stories and treasures live side by side.

A Family Legacy
In the interview, we shared the history of Aladdin’s Cave: how our shop began as a family-run business and how that sense of continuity still shapes us today. Each piece we source, restore, and showcase is chosen with the same care and passion that has guided us for decades. It’s a story not just of jewellery, but of tradition, craftsmanship, and trust.
Jewellery with Meaning
We also spoke about how today’s customer is looking for something more; jewellery that is sustainable, individual, and full of character. Antique and vintage pieces offer exactly that. They’re kinder to the planet than newly mined alternatives, and each one carries a uniqueness that simply can’t be replicated. From Victorian lockets to Art Deco engagement rings, no two are ever alike.
