He does such a great job cleaning, polishing and in my case throughly inspecting my diamond. It makes me feel really good about not only our original purchase, but about the maintenance they receive there. As a bonus I walked out with the most beautiful pair of sapphire earrings ever. I'd been hinting that I wanted new earrings and these were just waiting for me. My husband is amazing, but so is the selection at Clark's. And the owner makes it so easy and pleasant to do business, truly stressless. It makes me happy to support such a great local business and I'm always thrilled with the outcome of any visit.

The store…read moreitself feels inviting, stocked with a selection that seems to go on forever, yet the true heart of the experience is the people. Donna greeted me with a genuine warmth that told me she loves what she does. She's incredibly patient, taking the time to explain the nuances of history in the antique pieces, the metals, stones, and settings in a way that makes sense. She encouraged curiosity, inviting me to try on anything that sparked joy, no pressure--just possibilities. Brandon and Sean kept the energy high with their easy smiles and readiness to help whenever needed. The whole team made it feel less like a purchase and more like a thoughtful journey toward something meaningful. When we decided to upgrade our wedding rings, the experience only got better. I found a beautiful Art Deco piece that just fits what I was looking for perfectly. We both found pieces we love, the price was fair, and the service was flawless from start to finish. If you want a jewelry shopping experience that's educational, stress-free, and truly welcoming--where you're treated like family--this is the place to go. Five stars from us.

I came in for a simple adjustment, but when I got my watch back, I noticed the wrong pins had been used, and they were already falling out the very next day. There was also a dent in one of the links. We took it to a different shop, where they replaced the pins with the correct ones and showed us that the original pins were bent and in poor condition. When we called to request a refund, the situation only got worse. The owner yelled at us, insisted we were wrong, and was completely disrespectful. I've never felt the need to write a Yelp review before, I'm usually someone who lets things go, but this experience was different. I've never encountered a business owner who reacted so unprofessionally. If this had been handled calmly and professionally, it could have been resolved. Instead, the lack of accountability and poor customer service made things worse. I'm not one to question someone's expertise, but sometimes it's important to set ego aside and actually listen to your customers. I will not be returning.

The name tells you exactly what it is-- a place that buys precious metals. I had some jewelry and…read moresuch that I wasn't wearing, so I decided to sell them. Perhaps I could've gotten more, but I wasn't pressed to do so. Just be aware that you might not be getting the most for your items, but it's likely better than what a pawn shop would offer. Your item might be scratched and etc if they need to test it further, so don't bring anything you wouldn't want that done to. They also won't buy every single thing even if it's genuine, as I saw a woman before me turned away and told to sell her item online. I had an appointment but ended up waiting in line, as you can't get inside unless they buzz you in. There were several of us in there at once so I guess if the people waiting don't look too sketchy they will let more than one inside. (Price Range)-- $30+ (Services)-- they buy gold, silver, jewelry, and other precious metals. (Location)-- located in a very busy shopping area near Chick Fila. The parking area is very small, so I parked a little further down and walked over. The area seems to be decent in terms of safety, but given the nature of this store you should still be aware of your surroundings and try not to flash your valuables. (Experience)-- I assumed the worst but I actually had a very good experience. The woman working behind the glass was friendly and gave me a decent deal. I recommend this place, and I would also come back again.
