BBBB Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Other than Castleton, is there any shop in Sheffield selling it? Heard that it is very famous locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I never seen it outside of Castleton I don't think. There are some great jewellers there though, can you not find what you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrobbo Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I used to buy Blue John stone products as presents from the Derbyshire Craft Shop, located near Calver bridge. They also have scrumptious cakes in the cafe! Not aware of anywhere in Sheffield that sells Blue John though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakma Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I think there are a couple of Jewellers in bakewell which sell it , theres one just up a side street between the rounderbout and the traffic lights on theright(heading to matlock)which I beleive I've seen it in it has some lovely semi-precious-stone jewelry and is a very reasonably priced ,then there's another more expensive one pretty much on the rounderbout. and perhaps the stone shop in Tideswell has it ( but odd opening times).

nick2 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I bought some blue john cufflinks from a jewelers (actually I think they are a pawn brokers) in Chesterfield, in the indoor "shopping centre". You're only likely to find second hand stuff outside Castleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBBB Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 I don't know Sheffield very well, do you mind telling me where is bakewell and Calver bridge? How can I get there from west street or city center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 You could ask them who they supply to treakcliff@bluejohnstone.com or shop online http://www.bluejohnstone.com/pages/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalaland Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I know that Louise Forysth Contemporary Jewellery create jewellery for people on request as well as her own range. I spoke to her recently and she was talking about Blue John at the time, could be worth contacting her and asking she may be able to make you something quite unique and interesting with it. I've seen her work and it's spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Does the 264 bus go to Castleton? That's probably your best bet, but there is the chance you could be paying tourist prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
