The stone fell out of the claddagh ring I bought in Ireland, so I took it to Stuart to be repaired…read more Stuart did a WONDERFUL job, the stone is more secure now than it was when I bought it. They also polished the ring for me, I hadn't realized how dirty it was but now it is shiny and beautiful again. The staff is extremely helpful and courteous. I will definitely be recommending them for any jewelry repairs.

We discovered Monkey Fish Toys (local locations in West Chester and Chester Springs) when a friend…read moregifted us a nice toy with gift receipt. We already had a very similar toy and it was a little young for my son's development so we were very grateful for the gift receipt to exchange. They have a large selection of Legos, and the science and STEM/STEAM type kits were prolific as well. It's nice to see most everything is vetted to make a kid think as they play, and there weren't mindless commercial gimmick toys or vapid crap promoting some character/tv/movie franchise. Toys were attractively arranged, neatly on display, easy to see, and price tags were clear and present. Some toys were fairly priced, like stuffed animals and Legos (curated sets, not basic ones), but we found the STEM/STEAM and science-y stuff to be a bit overpriced. The kit we exchanged for was 20% cheaper on Amazon. Another board game was 3x the price of the identical thing at Ollie's. I always try to support local businesses, but I don't have the kind of disposable income where I can afford to pay much over competitor prices. For what my son wanted, we felt a little frustrated driving a half hour from home (each way) and paying $6 more than having Amazon shipped to our door. Yes, it was a gift credit, so we didn't "pay" ourselves, but to have gotten a comparable price plus a small $6 extra little toy would have been nice. I think this is a great store to find items unavailable elsewhere (like some of the collectible LEGO sets, and stuffed animals), or for people unfamiliar with current kids' toys (grandparents, etc.) to get good recommendations and solid choices. Paying a premium is worth it to them. They did mention a rewards program, so locals will benefit from that taking the edge off of the competitor margins. We don't live close enough to take advantage of that.

I had asked local friends where to go, and they recommended Strode's. It was the right choice for me. They talked to me about what I wanted, we discussed mattes and frame designs/materials and I was out of there in 15 minutes with my order placed, which was perfect for me because that was really all the time the project needed. They were easy to work with. They told me it would take 4 weeks and they were ready in 4 weeks. Framing is not cheap, but the price was what I expected. Good solid work.

I had a very positive experience at Kaplan's. I was looking for a jeweler to repair the band of my…read moreengagement ring/inspect the ring for any wear and did an online search to find someone in the area. I saw on Kaplan's website that they have been operating for more than 35 years and felt secure knowing they've been trusted and successful for so long. The woman who assisted me in the showroom was very nice and polite event though I had just schlepped up in the heat from West Chester's campus -- I was not looking my best. Despite my appearance, she treated me like a valued customer. She let me know the estimated price for the repair up front (which is what I ended up paying) and a time estimate of two weeks for the work. While I thought that was a long time frame, even with the Labor Day holiday in the mix, I got a call several days early to tell me it was ready. The repair was done beautifully and with it all shiny and clean, it was the best my ring has looked in a very long time. I plan to return to Kaplan's and certainly recommend it to others in the area.
