ABA Antiques - Avoca Beach (NSW)

1 /5 Nicola: Liars and thief’s. Never trust your belongings. The owner is running a con will hold you jewellery for quotes and repair without authorisation.

1 /5 Kimberley McDonald: Waits over a year for a quote to have my ring returned to me dismantled with unauthorised works commenced and lose stones returned to me in a bag. I now have more stones missing.

5 /5 Grace: This beautiful shop is a step back into history. The family orientated customer service is warm and very friendly. The amazing array of jewellery is quaintly amplified by the delicate pieces of Sterling Silver and antique China. Love love love visiting whenever Im on the coast.

1 /5 Alaura Birdfox: I’m an art dealer and collector and I arrived at 4:15 pm to the store to purchase a ring and was told by the sales staff they were closed, even though online it says 5 pm. Apparently, they close at 4:30 in winter, so we still had 10 minutes to make the purchase; however, the staff members prioritised going home early instead. Very disappointing, considering we drove a long way. I’d advise anyone to ring ahead as the store seems to pick and choose their hours and who they serve based on when it suits them. They had a beautiful collection and it was a shame to not be able to see it.

4 /5 Ahmad Hussein: Fantastic jewellery collection, including a 2,000 year old Roman ring found in the river Thames (not for sale). All the antiques jewellery in the store is absolutely beautiful, a long with a large collection of cutlery sets, a good portion of which are made from silver. Only issue being the price range. Do not expect to spend less than $100 on an item, as this is pretty much the bare minimum your going to find. If you dont have a good $500 to spend on jewellery, I wouldnt recommend this place.
