Bron james 5 ★ 2026-01-16After checking numerous jewellery outlets in Canberra, only McGlades in Canberra City had the experience and expertise to fix my Pandora charm bracelet. I felt like a million dollars walking out with my beautifully restored bracelet. The consultant I dealt with was Professional and knowledgeable, which gave me great confidence in their ability. McGlades is definitely the place to go for quality jewellery and exceptional services.

Chris Diplock 5 ★ 2026-01-31The team here at McGlades are truly wonderful!nThey are polite, experienced, have the expertise and were very willing to work with me to design and deliver the piece that I wanted. Their customer service is warm, welcoming and puts you at ease right from the get-go.

May 15, 2024 at 9:37 pmI visited McGlades Jewellers on Tuesday 14th May 2024: I was absolutely appalled by the complete rudeness of 2 girls who had spoked to me that morning. I was so shocked and disgusted that they had been allowed to treat someone.so disresctfully.and unprofessionally.

March 14, 2026 at 4:46 pmI discovered McGlades recently when I needed a piece of jewelry to be repaired. They seemed to be one of the very few jewellers in Canberra who had a professional available to quote for the job on site. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful or pleasant and the repair was first-rate and done within a few days. To my mind, this is the best jeweller in Canberra. Five stars.
