This thoughtfully curated fine-jewellery boutique focused on ethical sourcing and distinctive design. Founder Keira Wraae-Stewart brings together pieces from independent makers alongside antique and vintage treasures – Victorian rings, delicate gold chains and sculptural modern pieces sitting happily side by side. The shop is also a destination for bespoke engagement and wedding rings, created in collaboration with clients. 

Down a few stone steps on St Stephen Street, Skua is a candlelit basement where big flavours rule. From the team behind Heron, it serves punchy seasonal small plates cooked in a compact open kitchen. It's earning its stripes for bold combinations, plenty of pickled and fermented elements, and a lively bar pouring inventive cocktails and natural wine. 

On a light-bathed corner of Stockbridge's St Stephen Street, treen is a boutique proving sustainable fashion can be both beautiful and practical.

Everything here is chosen for longevity, ethics and effortless wearability.
