They had me come in to retest and make things right. Did nothing... Told them I'd just take the loss. garret brown made promises to me that they would make it right and they don't do business like that And ensured me I wouldn't have to take the loss. And has pushed it off and ignored the messages. Hasn't followed timelines and now wants to "discuss options" and not do the initial refund he promised. And still won't even meet to do that... Horrible business, cares for themselves and breaks promises to "family friends" buyer beware.

I love both jewelry and estate sales, so I was intrigued when I drove by this jewelry store while…read moreon vacation. I was greeted warmly by the wonderful owner and his wife. Their collection is simply amazing, with beautifully crafted and rare estate pieces in pristine condition. Some of these gemstones are very hard to find nowadays according to other jewelers I have talked to. They also have new pieces as well. Now I am not an impulse buyer by any means, more of a window shopper, but when I saw my earrings I knew I had to have them and the price was very fair. Plus it felt very good to support a small business and meet such wonderful people. I walked out a very happy customer!

When I dropped things off, they said it could take a couple weeks which was fine by me but then I got a call two days later that everything was ready! Such a pleasant surprise!

This was my first time visiting this local jewelry shop, and I was very impressed. I came in to…read morehave my watch batteries replaced, and the owner, a kind and professional lady named Carol, did it very quickly. The price was also quite reasonable. I recently saw a negative review supposedly written from google review by a so-called doctor, who harshly criticized the shop for offering a low price for gold. It's shameful for someone with such a background to use his voice to curse a small business owner who is simply trying to earn a living. Is it really appropriate to make such hurtful statements? From my understanding of the jewelry market, buyback prices are typically lower than the market rate due to various costs. I simply asked about the buyback price for a ring and was offered around 20% of the original price, which is completely normal in the industry. Carol runs this shop by herself, and she deserves support, not disparagement. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and there's even an adorable, chubby dog that made my visit even more pleasant. Based on my experience, I highly recommend this store for its honest service and fair pricing! I also wish them continued success in her business!

One of the worst pawnshops ive been too. I managed a…read morepawnshop in Arizona for 5 years (Pawn 1st) so I know all the bullshit tricks bad employees used to get over on customers. I brought in a diamond cross pendant and chain to sell. The tall, big heavyset guy tried to lie to me and said the diamonds were moissanite. I told him it was bullshit and told him to retest them I know their employee came over and tested them, said that the diamonds are real the machine was dirty (which can happen with those diamond testers) even after them being real. They then turn around and say we don't pay on the diamonds. Which is a scumbag move because they're gonna sell it for golden diamonds. Then I had a Tiffany's bracelet to sell. He tried to offer me $30 and said he doesn't know if it's Tiffany's or not. lol Part of being in this industry is you learn how to tell if things are authentic or not. I feel bad for the people that are desperate that take the little bullshit money these scumbags offer I would not recommend going there

I have never been treated so badly as the way I was treated at GOLD MINE JEWELERS on Merritt…read moreIsland. Here is what I wrote and posted on Facebook and Nextdoor Neighbor which covers the local area. I have had two negative experiences with Gold Mine. Never-the-less, I gave the store a third chance. Two weeks ago, I brought in two rings for repair. I needed them ASAP as I was going to an out of town, black tie event. Two weeks later I called on a Saturday and a man perhaps the jeweler told me the rings would be ready on Monday; I was there Tuesday. At first, the staff couldn't find my rings. The blue haired man (someone please tell him he looks ridiculous like a Smurf). I was holding my receipt when another man, tall with dark hair, came over and ripped my receipt out of my hand, resulting on my receipt being torn in half and giving me a nasty paper cut. When they finally gave me my rings back noticed that now, three stones were missing on my cz diamond ring. Why did the jeweler pull out the stones and not fix the ring? As I left, Smurf yelled out that I should never come back. (HE ALSO YELLED OUT A DISPARING REMARF ABOUT MY ATTIRE, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!". To add insult to injury, when I arrived home, I noticed that Smurf returned to me the wrong stones! When I called him, he told me not to come back to the store as he will have me arrested for tresspassing. I laughed. Gold Mine has possession of my two expensive gold, emerald and diamond rings and it is denying me access to retrieve them. I told Smurf head that I would call the police as he is committing THEFT. I am a retired VP of Citibank in NYC and I know bad business practices when I see them... and experience them. My question is, doesn't the owner know how his employees are behaving with the customers? Is a person selling gold and diamonds look professional with Smurf hair? And doesn't he know that he one is ripping receipts out of client's hands? Who does this?

Stone Street Apothecary has a little bit of everything, furniture, household goods, collectibles, accessories, and so much more.

Prices seemed very reasonable and the friendly staff let me know that they were available for help or to check prices. There are so many little treasures everywhere.
