There are many other local businesses run by honest people - these are NOT them!!! If you are looking for an honest family run local business to patronize - STAY FAR AWAY from these crooks!! They just reneged on verbal loan agreement and basically stole jewelry from my family in the middle of this worldwide pandemic. They will smile to your face and then stab you in the back as soon as they see an opportunity. There is plenty of money to be made in this world by being honest - no need to be so disgustingly greedy!! Stay away from these bottom feeding predatory lenders!! If they were seriously in the business of "lending" - then they would honor their verbal agreement and accept all of the interest that is past due - and maybe even add a late fee - but they would not be so eager to take over the customers possessions unless that was their true goal from the start - disgusting!!! In our case, they had already been paid all or more than the original principle loan amount - so stealing our jewelry and selling it will be all profit for this family! If you are considering buying new jewelry - be advised of the type of people that you are dealing with and if you are buying used jewelry also know that they have likely acquired it by ripping off a client that came to them for a loan. Could not imagine buying anything with that much BAD KARMA attached to it.

I recently needed to get a ring appraised and after researching I decided to go to Timothy Schuler…read moreat Schuler Gemological Services in Clearwater. Amy, Timothy's wife runs the front office and I found them both very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about jewelry appraisals. Timothy is a GIA certified appraiser so I knew his knowledge and appraisal insights would be up to the GIA's rigorous standards. Timothy spent a good deal of time looking at the ring through his microscope, studying it's characteristics and taking notes and photographs of the details of the ring. He researched similar pieces online and concluded that I received a very good deal from the jeweler I purchased the ring from. Timothy's appraisal gave me the peice of mind that the ring was within a few hundred dollars of what the jeweler claimed the replacement value would be. The time Timothy spent with me, viewing the ring and researching it was well worth the appraisal fee which I thought was fair to begin with. Timothy gave me the piece of mind to know that I received a good deal which was very important to me to find out.

Went to support local Jeweler. Only needed my ring down sized. The quote $300. Seemed excessive…read morethen came The claims I needed prong work that was going to be $340 min. So I left. Went to another jeweler that said I could not downsize as much as needed because would affect integrity of diamonds on band. In addition, reported no loose diamonds requiring prong work. So, to be certain about what I was being told since such a conflict I went a 3rd place that said the same... can't downsize without affecting diamond integrity on band. (I needed downsized 1.5 for reference and 3 rows of diamonds on band). And also no loose diamonds requiring prong work. As much as I prefer to support local I will not support this jeweler ever as my trust is destroyed and do not recommend unless you want to be ripped off. Especially in regards to jewelry repair.

Aleigh helped me pick out a new setting and then asked for a Google review. I intentionally waited until I picked up my new ring to make a review. Well, Aleigh was actually haughty upon my return to pick up the new ring. She disdainfully took my money and put my ring in a broken store cardboard box. I felt very judged and unwelcome. I'm so sorry I shopped there. There are many other large and small local jewelry stores where I will shop in the future.
