Cash register from 1897!
Dena G.

I was drawn to this shop because of the beautiful and simple sterling silver jewelry displayed in the window. I fell in love with the shop because of its owner, a kind and low key gentleman from Texas, named Chuck. I love buying from shops where I connect with the owner. We had a nice chat, my husband bought me a silver pendant with purple stones, and the owner rang us up on his old 1897 cash register. When I wear the pendant, I think of the shop and its feel of nostalgia.

Scenery alone is:  "Worth the trip!"
Reverend L.

This is "THE" place in to go in Monterey County, California where jewelry is bought and sold honestly and fairly. Definitely worth the scenic trip! Chuck is the best! Fair weights and measures. Knowlegible service. Friendly staff.

Chuck was very friendly. Bought some junk silver at a competitive price. Will definitely be coming back for the jade pieces.

Ruined an antique 1920s ring. Claims to be a master jeweler with 40 years of experience absolutely…read morehorrible experience. Lost the ring for several hours too!! We got engaged in Monterey and my fiancée and I decided to get her new antique ring sized to fit her (it was too big) we were referred to Steve Saunders. We went in there and he told us no problem! It'll be $75 he then sized her finger. She told him she was a 5 she showed him she was currently wearing a size 5 but he was adamant she was a 4.... So trusting his "40 years" we went with his Recommendation. An hour later he calls us and tells us it's ready so we head back and when we get there it reeks of pot and incense... and he says he misplaced the ring.... He asked us to leave for 5 minutes and come back so he could find it.... So we did and came back and he said he would look more and call us tomorrow... umm no how about you stay open till you find our ring??? Later that evening he calls us he found it so we rush back... the ring DOESNT COME CLOSE TO FITTING... what's worse is he tries jamming it on her finger bruising her finger... he then says well you measured a size 4 so you are a 4... even though it clearly didn't fit.... He then tried hammering it out and making it bigger that didn't work... again he said come back tomorrow.... So tomorrow comes and we message him and tells us him it needs to be a size 5 he tells us the only way to do that is to replace the band... goodbye 1920s gold.... So what choice do we have.... We go back that afternoon and he gives us the ring and it looks awful... the band is dented and uneven on both sides... the width is so off it's not funny and the gold doesn't match.... Then he has the audacity to try and charge us $450 for his mistakes. We ended up paying $150 when we shouldn't have paid a penny and we left. Now we have to go a real jeweler and have his work fixed / replaced he should pay for it but of course that won't happen. The absolute worst part of all is this antique ring is forever ruined
