    My watch
    Paul C.

    Service is excellent, selection is ridiculously large! The value is really what you want it to be. I have the gold encrusted watch., love it. Nice piece and definitely unique. You go in here you WILL leave with something for sure since there is a little something for everyone.

    Most everyone that works here is so nice and knowledgeable. Alaska Mint is the official mint for the state of Alaska, it's privately owned by a really terrific family, all of the workers (though not related to one another) are so comfortable that they feel like a family. If you're looking for a souvenir that is out of the ordinary,check this place out for a beautiful piece of jewelry, gold nuggets, rare gold quartz and/or pure silver or gold medallions that are hand minted at the actual "store" Most everything here is pretty spendy, but it's also rare, unique and hand crafted with a long time guarantee. You'll also find a few less expensive items such as ULU knives, gold pokes, shark tooth necklaces etc. So if you're shopping for a kid you can find something that's affordable and different, for an adult, definitely rare and memorable. Also, if you just want to stop in and have a coffee, their coffee bar is more affordable than any other that I've been to.

    Friendly people. Definitely the pioneer-type set-up. I like that there is a little Goldpan stream set up and an old safe.

Roy and his family are amazing people who offer impeccable customer service. They also have a beautiful selection of jewelry to choose from. When it comes to taking care of their customers this shop goes above & beyond. The center stone on my engagement ring came loose about a year ago, and I haven't flown back to Chicago to go to the jeweler that created the ring to get it fixed. Finally I decided I would find a place in town, and I was happy to have found Roy. Since my ring wasn't purchased from their shop I first called to inquire if they could fix it for me. Roy very graciously said he would have his jeweler work on it with no issue as he wanted his shop to be my jeweler in AK. He told me that it would be at least a week to get the center stone mounted, and I also asked to have the white gold re plated. The ring was ready a few days after I dropped it off. When I needed the ring to be reappraised for a new insurance policy Roy was able to get it appraised and returned to me in the timeline needed for my insurance company. They work hard at this shop, and I can imagine that buying a piece of jewelry from them will be a wonderful experience. The things I needed them to do weren't expensive when compared to purchasing a diamond, but they still treated me like my business was important. I cannot say more good things about 5th Avenue Jewelers!!

I was nervous about making such a huge decision on a piece of jewelry, but they were very patient, let me try on all the rings I wanted, and answered all my questions. After deciding on a style, Roy found a few stones for me to choose from. You can tell they take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of the jewelry they sell. The whole process was just so easy and wonderful. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

They let him take his time, never pushed him and helped him pick out the perfect ring. Once given this amazing and one of a kind ring, I immediately had to get it resized. I was going out of town in a few days and I was so worried that they would send it out of state to get it resized and I wouldn't have it on my trip. (This was the case for many friends who purchased from jewelry chains in Anchorage- their rings were shipped out of state to get resized.) But instead my ring was done in less than a day! They will remind me when it's time to get my ring repaired, I'll always be able to get it cleaned for free there, and they'll answer any questions I have. I look forward to returning to Giamante to pick out my wedding band and my fiancé's ring. Thank you for being an excellent example of small business in Anchorage! We will recommend you to all of our friends.

My partner and I bought four rings at the end of December. 21 weeks later, I finally have everything, and it was a mess. We left the store with one carbide ring, a receipt, and a promise from the store manager that the engagement ring, another carbide ring, and a custom silver wedding band would all be delivered within 6-8 weeks. We gave all of our contact info and had high expectations due the numerous five star reviews. The word count won't let me get into the nitty gritty of how wrong our experience went. In short, we gave our information four separate times over many weeks, begging they'd call us with news, and were met each time with "So sorry to hear that this is taking so long, [insert person] will get back to you as soon as possible." We were ignored, pushed aside, eventually sent the wrong rings, ignored again, sent a good ring 18 weeks after purchase, and sent another wrong ring. I went through the company that made the carbide ring to give me an exchange because I could not deal with the store owner again. My blood was boiling. I was the one who had wanted to buy rings from here, and they had so many glowing reviews. It was supposed to be special, and they were so kind and helpful while we picked the rings and handed over the cash. What I would give now to go back in time and talk myself out of it. There must have been "Sorry Fool" written over my forehead for how terrible we were treated over such a long time. If I could give negative stars to Arctic Gold & Gems, I would. Never in my life have I dealt with such a sorry excuse for lousy service. I was played like a fiddle when purchasing from here, and I dealt with that consequence for 21 weeks. If you want good service, turn around. If you want what you ordered, look elsewhere. If you somehow want the worst possible experience, then you'll want Arctic Gold & Gems.
