    Nice selection of jewellery & gifts of an individual design. Has a manufacturing area (Mon - Fri) viewing gallery & film showing the production process. Plus information about how it's produced.

    (Translated by Google) Jewelry factory store with exhibition and showcase to see 'e work of craftsmen live. Really nice. To have ! And the prices are very affordable. If you go there, it's worth it to stop there. (Original) Magasin d'usine de bijoux avec exposition et vitrine pour voir 'e travail des artisans en direct. Vraiment sympa. A voir ! Et les prix sont très abordables. Si vous passez par là, cela vaut le coup de s'y arrêter.

    Absolutely wonderful place with lots of great imagination and thought gone into the products. Despite the fact that not all the staff are very friendly which is a real shame as there are many tourists who may never have been to Scotland and it isn't a good impression on them and the locals who are the ones who do seem friendly i love the idea of having a kids area with things like dogs and butterflies however everything else is slightly pricey but the time and effort of production is probably why. Definitely recommend.

    Lovely shop with super low prices!

    Informative, ingenious imaginative creations resulting in beautiful jewellery. An excellent film explaining the process of making the jewellery starts your visit.

    Beautiful jewellery let down by salesperson I’ve never had to write a review with such a low score before and it’s a huge shame because Heathergems sells beautiful, unique jewellery which I would have liked to buy. I visited their store in Pitlochry recently and encountered an incredibly rude sales person. After 20 minutes or so looking at the jewellery, I’d decided which pieces I wanted to buy. Then, without any prior warning, at exactly 4.59 pm I was told ‘We’re closed now’ and my husband and I were shown the door. Clearly Heathergems don’t want my custom or my money - very disappointing.

    A good place to pop in and see a very interesting process. Having access to view the process would have been great but it was the local games day! Shop was full the the brim with gorgeous jewellery!

  • 5/5 Clare T. 8 months ago on Google
    I had to source some earrings that where not on the website. Contacted the sales team got an amazingly quick response with the best solution. Great service and wonderful products. Thank you xxx

  • 5/5 Queen b. 6 months ago on Google
    You can learn the whole process and then look through the gift shop. Items are beautiful and reasonably priced. I think also having some items that are not dyed would be interesting.

  • 5/5 Nathalie P. 10 months ago on Google
    A lovely place to visit. It's very interesting that you can see how the jewellery is being made and you know exactly what you buy. Friendly staff and the jewellery looks unique and beautiful!

    Its nice

  • 5/5 Kim H. 4 years ago on Google
    Love their jewellery ! Especially my „tree of life“ necklace :))

  • 5/5 Rits M. 6 years ago on Google
    Excellent little Warehouse and factory Show you how it's all made. They have a video and you can watch the workers working the heather There is a big shop as well, I would say the prices are the same as most of the stores where they are sold. But the staff is really helpful and get you what you're looking for. Prices range from about £3 upwards and they have a huge variety here. I would definitely recommend checking out the process, it's interesting!

  • 5/5 james g. 6 years ago on Google
    It’s truly amazing what can be done with plant branches, the jewellery is made from dyed and compressed heather branches that are polished and cut to shape, there’s a viewing window to the workshop so visitors can see the process as it happens. There’s a varied selection of jewellery available at the shop as well as occasional gifts. The staff are friendly and helpful and leave you to browse through the shop without pushing for a sale. Parking isn’t free though, so you will need change for the parking machine.

    Love this place and the jewellery they make is so unique and special I've shopped around and can't beat the prices at the on site factory shop. Plus Pitlochry is a wonderful setting.

  • 5/5 M L. 3 years ago on Google
    I love coming here. First time I was here was over. 15 years ago to get a broach for my Highland dance nationals outfit. Now when ever I have visitors from the States we stop here for them to see how they are made and then pick up gifts for their loved ones. It has always been a hit for people. Ladies in the shop are always lovely.

    Good original gifts

  • 5/5 Heather V. 4 years ago on Google
    Really interesting watching how they make their jewelry. Love buying local! Beautiful colorful items. Easy place to find and the viewing area is fun to hang out in.

  • 5/5 K L. 4 years ago on Google
    They use local materials in a unique way. Lovely variety of color choices and each item is unique. First bought something 10 years ago and made a point to come back this year.

    Bought a heathergem necklace online for a birthday present for my granny. I was a bit cynical about whether the picture online would be a true representation of what the necklace would be like in reality - I was not disappointed, it really is beautiful and comes with a lovely little insert explaining the process of making the heathergem. Very efficient, delivered within 48 hours. Thank you, I'm sure my granny will love it!

    (Translated by Google) If you want to buy a very special gift by making a jewel with a plant stem, you can have a look at the process of making it without having to worry about the price. (Original) 작년11월에 하이랜드 방문한 한국인 리뷰남김ㅋ 식물줄기로보석을 만들어서 매우 특별한선물을 구입하고싶다면 강추 ㅋ 가격도나쁘지않고 만드는과정을 직접볼수있게 해놓아서 들려서 둘러보는것도괜찮음!

  • 5/5 Claire W. 5 years ago on Google
    Went on holiday to Scotland fell in love with Heathergems.There in most gift shops from Loch Ness to Pitlochry. Had to visit the place there made gorgeous gifts and spent a fair bit.Everyone I bought for loves them as much as me.There made from cut and dyed heather stalks so your taking a piece of Scotland back home with you.Every Heather gem is unique ,they come in an array of lovely vibrant colours .Expert craftsmanship makes this lovely jewel look so much more expensive than it costs.

    (Translated by Google) Superb store where jewelry is made. The prices are correct and we see the manufacturing process. Very interesting tour with small jewelry in memory. To have. (Original) Superbe magasin où l’on fabrique des bijoux. Les prix sont correctes et l’on voit le procédé de fabrication. Visite très intéressante avec petit bijoux en souvenir. A voir.
