My experience with Hurdle's has been nothing short of exceptional. We visited several jewelry…read morestores during our search, but ultimately decided on a custom piece. After researching multiple custom jewelers, we chose Hurdle's, and I am so glad we did. From the start, Aria was incredible. She not only answered all of our questions but also took the time to educate us on the different qualities to look for in various stones. Hurdle's has a great relationship with their ring makers, which made the process seamless. I found a ring design I loved and wanted to modify, and they provided multiple modification options--from their in-house team and the ring maker. The wax model they created was a game-changer, helping me visualize the final product perfectly. My engagement ring turned out so beautifully that I trusted them with two other custom projects for my wedding. For my wedding necklace, I wanted to use the stone from my proposal ring. I asked for recommendations on how to add interest without overshadowing the main stone, and they delivered stunning designs. I also worked with Haley to create a custom wedding band. Like Aria, Haley was incredibly helpful, offering suggestions and sharing her extensive knowledge of different stones, settings, and metals. I was more indecisive with the wedding necklace and wedding band design, going back and forth on several ideas. Haley was exceptionally patient, listened to my evolving vision, and helped me narrow it down while managing my expectations. The result is a both a wedding necklace and wedding band I absolutely adore. My fiancé is equally impressed with their knowledge and service, so much so he purchased his wedding band from them too! I highly recommend Hurdle's for any custom jewelry needs. I recommend seeing them sooner rather than later to make sure you have time to work on the design, make changes, and have it made. The pieces they have made for me are not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful. In addition to their custom work, I've had them repair several of my pieces. When one of my earrings needed a small fix after a recent repair, they took care of it on the spot. I am confident that even if we move away, we will be customers of Hurdle's for many years to come.

I do not recommend purchasing or melting any jewelry with HJ. I had a very poor experience with…read moremelting my jewelry and purchasing a designer piece from them. Some of their employees will only go off hallmarks instead of taking the time to test precious metals using other testing methods. They did not do any kind of buyout process for the stones in the pieces I melted either. In addition, they lack options to create a custom piece. They only had one fine chain option in gold, which was surprising. I decided not to go that route and instead ordered a designer piece. I waited around for about two months to hear for them. I finally called and was informed there had been an issue with the piece, and it had to be remade, yet no one could tell me why. When the remake came in, it was not what I had discussed with the owner. I opted for another designer piece, but they didn't have it in the length I wanted. They told me they could order it but that I would have to commit to it without even seeing the stone first. I contacted the designer directly and found out that the piece was a standard option on their website and that if I ordered through them, I wouldn't have had to commit if I didn't like the stone. It was too late for me to order directly as HJ had already added the extra length. I should have reached out to the designer sooner. I was charged a hefty labor fee for a minor adjustment to the chain. They made no mention of the labor fee and then claimed they gave me a discount on labor as if they did me a huge favor. Most jewelers I've worked with offer complimentary resizing and minor adjustments when a minimum purchase is met. I was often talked down to and made to feel incompetent through my entire experience. HJ took no accountability for their actions during any of the interactions I had with them. I could have saved a few hundred dollars ordering directly from the designer due to Boulders' hefty taxes/fees and HJ's labor fee. I like to support small businesses, but I wouldn't support this one again.

He had a draft turned around within 12 hours, and by next morning It was done.

The nurses and office admin were calm and very friendly and enthusiastic with the kids, talking directly to them and answering their questions. The billing was discussed ahead of time and very clear. I enjoyed not being up-sold on anything. Needle piercing is $70 for both ears, and the earrings for needle piercing start at $70 per pair and they have flat backs, which I think are important for sleeping in them. There are other earrings for sale without flat backs that are much cheaper. For me, the most important part of an ear piercing is getting the holes lined up and in the right place on the ear. The nurses took time cleaning equipment, explaining proper ear care to the girls before going back to a small 5x5 room on the right with an open door. The nurse took about 2 minutes lining up her second holes, marking them with a pen and giving us time to examen their placement. She wore gloves and poked a metal thing through the front, so it stuck out for a second while she placed a metal thing in the back (maybe the earring itself?) and then it was done! My daughter didn't cry, although it was sore. The cleaning solution they sell smells a bit like chlorine. There were many kids coming in getting their ears pierced and everyone seemed to be having a very positive experience.

Besides their products, the best thing about this store is the service. The employees were so sweet and helpful and really seemed passionate and interested in what they did. There was some stuff that was decently priced, but other things that definitely seemed absurdly priced to me. It seems like they do classes and workshops there too so that could be cool to check out but also probably expensive. The only other thing I would add is that they definitely had some items that seemed like cultural appropriation and exploiting cultural items so I didn't like that but unfortunately that tends to be commonplace in crystal/spiritual stores like that.
