Temptations is a charming jewellers and gift shop that has been part of Market Drayton’s retail scene for nearly 30 years, supplying watches, jewellery, boutique gifts and cards to customers across the town and far beyond.
Step through the door of its pretty period building on Queen Street and you’ll find a warm, family-run business that prides itself on quality products and good old-fashioned customer service. With Queen Street car park right next door, getting to it is easy-peasy.
Run by Madeline and Tim Grainger, together with a friendly team of knowledgeable staff, Temptations is an ideal place to seek out personal, thoughtfully chosen gifts to suit every budget. There are ideas for the whole family – from newborns to grandparents – making it a go-to destination for year-round gifting.
The shop may appear small and quaint on the outside, but step inside and you’ll discover a tardis-like treasure house. Cabinets brim with contemporary and preowned jewellery, stylish watches, affordable luxury pens, ceramics and carefully selected gifts. Shelves hold greeting cards and accessories– boutique scarves, hats, gloves, socks, bags, purses, wallets, novelty items and more.
Among the highlights are big brand names offered at competitive prices, as well as unique artisan jewellery designed and handcrafted by regional makers. 
Temptations is also a haven for beautifully made accessories, with elegant scarves, cosy knit hats and soft winter socks from Powder – the boutique brand celebrated for its distinctive prints and unmistakable flair.
While the bricks-and-mortar shop is a delight to browse, customers aren’t restricted to opening hours, as Temptations offers 24/7 shopping through its online store too at https://www.temptationsfinejewellery.co.uk/
Another major draw is its comprehensive jewellery and watch repair service. From battery and strap replacements to chain and bracelet repairs, ring resizing and alterations, stone replacements, re-polishing and white gold replating, the team handles all manner of repairs. Clock repairs and servicing are also available.
Founded by Tim and Madeline 28 years ago, Temptations has weathered dramatic change on the high street. The rise of online shopping and the sleek big buck marketing campaigns of big business make competition harder and harder for family businesses.
Yet the the strength of independent businesses like Temptations lies in the personal service, product knowledge and individuality they offer. It remains a point of pride that Temptations can provide products and services that are increasingly hard to find on the high street.
The jewellery range is varied, spanning new and preowned gold and silver fine pieces to high-quality artisan costume jewellery made with silver and semi-precious gemstones.
“We like to stock British-made jewellery for all occasions at different price points that suit all budgets,” says Madeline. 
Preowned jewellery offers exceptional value for money – giving customers an opportunity to purchase high-quality pieces at a lower price than buying new, while also supporting recycling and sustainability.
Temptations also stocks a good selection of reasonably priced Sekonda watches for men and women. Find new baby and christening gifts too.
