We learned a lot of information about turquoise. I had no idea how many different kinds of turquoise there is. My friend was looking for a matching earrings for her bracelet. Owner told us that particular turquoise is no longer mined but eventually we found some earrings that were a close match. We both purchased a couple pieces. The only criticism I have is the owner doesn't stay focused. He is very very knowledgeable all things turquoise but we didn't need to hear the history of every piece that we were not even interested in. He kept showing my friend items that she wasn't in there to look at We almost left until a pair of earrings caught my eye that I thought would match her bracelet. They were a very close match so she did make a purchase. Even though he said more than once: These earrings are expensive and I would hate for you to pay that much‍ He almost lost a $1000 sale between her and I because he was not focused and even tried to discourage the earring purchase at one point. If you are wanting beautiful one of a kind pieces, this is the place to go. Just be prepared to be in there awhile.

I'm not normally a jewelry person, but they had some beautiful pieces that I couldn't resist, and at affordable prices considering the quality and artistry. I picked up some salvaged steel and sterling silver earrings by Pyper Hugos. Edgy but delicate with colors that pop. Super nice sales woman too. I even got a filmmaker discount thanks to being a part of the festival. Talk about a romance in Durango. I love this place.

I have never been so disappointed in my life with a jewelry store. We bought my wedding band here…read moreand after the wedding I needed to get my bands resized. I dropped them off and told the woman working behind the counter that I needed the rings bigger and she just took my rings and didn't ask any questions. A few hours later I got a call, came in and described to another woman what I needed to have done. She said that I would get a call from "Bill" and he would tell me the time frame in which the rings would take to be done. A week and a half later I got a call from "Bill" and all he said was he had questions and when I got a chance to call him back, he was never around. I never got my bands sized, yet they had my rings for over a week. I am now taking them to a well known place I trust in Denver and will never use this place again.

What a Rip! I purchased a "one of a kind" pendant at this store. The owner told me it was the only…read moreone made by his father. The piece itself is beautiful. I have no complaints about look, quality or workmanship. Sooo after I spent another $200 for a chain imagine my surprise when we returned the next year and saw my "one of a kind" pendant in the store window when i knew I had left it at home. I'm don't know if one of a kind means they only make one of a kind or What their interpretation of the term means. Therefore I give this store a zero. My pendant is also pictured on their ad. It is the moon/turquoise/star down in the right corner of the ad.
