There aren't enough words to say how thoughtful & caring she is - she really listened to what I wanted & didn't push me to get a completely new setting...and the work is beautiful! Pics & video don't do it justice - it looks even better than the original - more clarity, more depth, more fire! She specializes in redoing jewelry using your own pieces & she has her own pieces as well, as she is an artist - she can often come up with a new idea that you may have never thought of! She is also just all around a very nice, warm, caring person and a pleasure to be around. Her website is on her Facebook or Instagram page or at rweberjewelry.com - highly, highly recommend her! She was worth the trip to upper CT from Fairfield for us & she also recommended some great places to visit in the area...I will definitely be going to her for other projects & I recommend her to anyone interested in redoing their jewelry

PLEASE, under NO circumstances, hire David LeBeau as an appraiser. He came to our home…read moreill-equipped. He struggled to operate his camera and didn't have extra batteries. Then tried to charge us for the time it took to drive home to get fresh batteries. He was a VERY poor communicator. His first version of four appraisals, was riddled with errors, omissions and duplications. Never once, did he apologize or concede to his mistakes, or was he willing to meet to rectify them. He mandated being paid in full before releasing his report and when I asked "what if I am not satisfied with the result, and you have all my money?" his response was "You have no say in the matter. I guess I'll see you in court." Turns out this was prescient. I had to take him to court. I asked him for remuneration for my time, trying to make me whole after such a debacle and he said "that's not going to happen." When I called the American Society of Appraisers to lodge a complaint against him, they said he is no longer a member. Sometimes in life, you get screwed. Almost exactly one year later, David has 100% of my money and I have four versions of appraisals to remind me of a very painful mistake I hope nobody else makes.

I would never recommend this business to anyone. I hired the…read moreowner, Matt Sachs, to liquidate my mom's house after she developed Alzheimer's and had to move out of her home urgently, which she lived in for about 20 years. She had accumulated a good amount of quality pieces/antiques, furniture, rugs, etc. Matt was very personable, trustworthy, I really liked him and felt good about the contract in the beginning. Things were good for months, but eventually, when I started to ask for updates and accounting paperwork, he vanished. I tried to give him some grace, knowing his job is demanding and he's also a Dad, but he kept putting me off telling me he had to "speak to some people" about pieces to see where they ended up. One time he admittedly told me that my account was "closed out accidentally," but would re-open it and follow-up. The entire business deal got very sketchy toward the end, and to this day, I never heard from him again and I never got a final accounting for my mom's belongings. On top of the stress of becoming my mother's caretaker and conservator, and dealing with her illness and loss of independence, I had to carry the stress of chasing this guy down for what was owed to my Mom. I even went to a lawyer, and we sent out response requests with a strong fist, but Matt was radio silent, as expected. We also found out this was not the first time he had litigation against him (not a shock.) I could have pursued this further and placed a lien on his house, but I decided not to go ahead with this. Maybe I'm too nice... Maybe I just wanted the stress to go away, and didn't want to lose more money in the process. Either way you look at it, I'm not sure how someone like this sleeps at night. Very upsetting. The real estate agent who recommended him to me was mortified and will never recommend him again. Whatever his reason was, the very least he could've done was be honest. He could've told me he lost items. I'm an understanding person, but he went about this very unprofessionally and I still think about this all the time. Most people can never act like this in their place of work and get away with it. Since I didn't push ahead with a lawsuit, I feel the very least I can do is warn other people so they don't end up in the same place. I'm also not the first one, and unfortunately, I am sure I won't be the last.

Do not trust his references, I called the professionals he listed and they were mortified to learn that he uses their names as references.

And as they transition to that new format, the good news for you is everything in the store on Oct 4, 5, 6 is now 50% off. So if you happen to be in the market for unique pieces, reclaimed wood decorations, and a boatload of traditional farmhouse rustic artwork, you'll have a blast wandering through their huge store for one last time. We did just that yesterday and saw thousands of housewarming gifts, furniture pieces, art décor, toys, pop culture collectibles, and more categories than I can remember. So, get yourselves over to Collinsville right now, one of the coolest little towns in Connecticut.
