I have ordered multiple pieces through here over the years and always had wonderful and straight up fun interactions with the other two people it is the only jewelry place my friends and I go to and was just a bummer all around.

I recently visited the clay collaborative on the night of their one year anniversary open house…read more The atmosphere was joyful and I was welcoming by a co-owner, Sam. She explained that her mother was the other owner and a long time potter. There were several pottery wheels that were available for folks to try their hand at forming something with clay. They had a large spread of snacks to mark the celebration. And they were all on handcrafted dishes!! The creations of students were displayed on shelving. There was not anything for sale that I could see. They offer 4 week intro classes. I didn't happen to see a price list, though.

In honor of Yelp's Annual Thank You Thursday, I am posting a huge "thank you" to the folks at Maine…read moreGold and Silver. Over the years, the staff has bent over backwards to provide the best possible service - finding specific coins I was looking for to give as gifts, always remembering my name, and making me feel like a valued person. Everyone there has a wealth of experience and knowledge rarely found. Linda - you are the absolute best!

The shop has a great supply of a variety of products - and friendly, talkative employees. Their…read moreprices on bullion were fair. I had chosen to pick through and purchase some coins in their "world silver coin" box, but I (after purchasing a large number) have disappointingly found a few coins that aren't silver at all - but copper nickel. Their pricing on this box was also very loose with the cashier taking a "rough mental average" of the purity of the coins and adding a "small" premium over spot. While I should've known better to pick only coins I'm familiar with and trusting this undisclosed "small premium", they shouldn't have had any non-silver coinage in the silver coinage bin. I'm sure it would be a headache, but separating the world coins based on purity and not a "rough average" would provide a MUCH better experience for the customer.

This is a beautiful little jewelry/crystal shop…read more I LOVE to find and collect unique crystals for my collection when I travel so, we saw this and I had to poke my head in while walking by. Some beautiful jewelry inside and the gal working the counter was friendly and allowed me to browse without bother.

Walked in off the street last Saturday before Xmas. Was immediately warmly received. When I asked…read morefor jewelry repair services, I was escorted right to the person who could help. A knowledgeable staff person examined my ring and saw the bent prong. She took the piece straight to the jeweler doing repairs and in a quick moment, my ring was fixed. One lovingly performed cleaning later I was out and on my way in 15min, treated royally and efficiently. So grateful as I was dreading doing this errand. If I needed a jeweler again for either repair or purchase, I would go there first as their selection was impressive and their service first rate.

Perfect spot to find a wedding or bridal shower gift. I had gone in to purchase a new tide clock for my mother, the mechanism in hers no longer worked (after many years). Before I even picked out a clock the employee informed me that the mechanism can be replaced for only 7 dollars while a new clock was 50 dollars. I was so impressed she informed me of this voluntarily and potentially missing a sale. I bought a new clock and plan to have the old one fixed. The other aspect it love about this store is the space. You can browse and see everything without feeling as though your purse will knock over a 100 dollar piece of pottery. Defiantly check this place out if you're in need of a unique gift.

Stepping into Willa's studio/store on a cold, rainy afternoon was nothing short of magical…read more Her pieces are fierce, meaningful, and handmade. Willa is a force of life herself and happy to share the inspiration of each piece. The curation is among the most creative I have ever seen, with earrings, rings, and necklaces displaced on green apples with scattered cranberries supported by antique industrial wood beams. Illuminated by Christmas Tree light. Sigh - my words just don't do it justice. Part of the magic is the open space of the studio - as you're shopping you can look straight through to the workshop to see and experience the tools, materials, and process that transform the raw materials into the beautiful earth-inspired work that you can admire in the front. Beautiful pieces. Easy street parking. Fabulous neighborhood with plenty of other gems to explore by way of ocean views at Munjoy Hill Park, etc.
