Time N Jewells

You’ll find Time N Jewells over in the Sapphire Complex on C G Road. We are on the upper level, at number five, which is near Bazar Kolkatta. It’s a good location because there’s always something happening nearby with the shoppers coming and going. We’ve got watches and some jewelry items in the cases. Most of what we do is helping folks pick out something for a birthday or an anniversary gift. We don't have a huge staff, just a couple of us who know where everything is kept in the back room. The display cases are a bit older, but they work fine for what we need. We spend a lot of time wiping the glass because of the smudges. C G Road is always busy, so we get a lot of walk-ins who are just killing time while shopping at the bazaar next door. We don't push anyone to buy anything. If they want to look, they look. We have some tools for resizing metal bands right there on the counter. It takes a few minutes and we usually chat while we do it. Sometimes the air conditioning in the complex is a bit too cold, so we keep sweaters even when it’s hot outside. It’s a bit of a quirky thing about this building. We’ve been here long enough that the other shop owners nearby are like family to us. We trade stories over lunch. It’s just a regular shop doing regular things for the people in this part of town.
