I had my wedding ring designed over 3 visits with Dan Trudeau following recommendations from…read morefriends and family and I still cannot believe how smooth everything went! I was not sure what I was getting myself into or what I even wanted, but knew it would be non traditional and unique. He spent time looking at my inspiration pics and "pulled me out of the ether," regarding what was and was not feasible. Was able to use a diamond from each of my grandmothers' wedding rings. He was transparent about the cost throughout, provided education on different jewels with thoughtfulness around important specifics I would not know to ask about; ease of cleaning, shades of gold, size of my hand, finger webbing, how settings and light will impact my choices, factors that influence longevity and maintenance. He was mindful to not insert his opinion outside of the structural capacity of my ideas, despite my requests. He searched and found different stones for me to see in person, much faster than I imagined was possible. At The final appt before the ring was built, he created wax version of the ring. I was initially concerned due to size/bulkiness, though he walked me through the details of how it would look differently upon completion which put me at ease. The ring was created with subtle details that he learned through our appointments about me; he specifically balanced diamonds on the band to support straight alignment in relation to my specific finger webbing (with only measuring my ring size and eyeballing my hand), "you can go rock climbing in this thing." Overall, this was a special experience I shared with my mother and finance in my home town. I will return for cleanings and highly recommend this place. My mother also had multiple items resized and repaired with prompt and beautiful results. The entire staff was kind and personable. They engaged intermittently along the way with their past personal and professional experience with different stones, designs, jewelers... After our first visit, I was just not sure if I was on the right track in part due to my severe indecisiveness, but all visits after that confirmed this was the right place to be and I am in love with the result. My fiancé was also pleased and appreciated the level of involvement that was asked of him, lol.

I recently sold several gold items here, including a 14k hunter case pocket watch…read more During the evaluation, the items were taken out of view and I was not shown individual weights or a clear breakdown of how the value was determined. The watch, which had multiple gold components including an inner cover, was discussed but ultimately folded into the overall estimate without being separately accounted for. The explanation given for its lower value focused on a "broken crystal," which does not materially affect the scrap value of a gold case, where weight and karat are the primary factors. I was paid approximately $400 for the watch. Without seeing weights or a transparent calculation, I've since found it difficult to reconcile that figure with what a multi-component 14k gold case would reasonably represent. I would strongly recommend that anyone selling gold ask to see weights and a clear breakdown before agreeing to a final price.

These were reputable organizations, but I wanted to do business with someone local for transparency. It was a blessing an on-line inquiry led me to JLS Diamonds and Jim Dinse. The auction house companies could only offer me a fraction of what I wanted for my diamond solitaire ring; less their commission, and only if they could sell it. On the contrary, Jim actually found a buyer for my ring before I even met with him; and before my ring left my possession. In fact, Jim paid me exactly what I wanted for my ring via cash transfer on the spot! Jim turned a stormy time in my life into a rainbow with a pot of gold! I could not be more grateful! One Month Later ..... I was so grateful and impressed with Jim's professionalism, honesty and integrity, I returned a month later to sell him a coin collection. I trusted Jim implicitly. Jim paid me TOP DOLLAR for it and I was actually shocked at its value.! I am definitely going to shop with JLS Diamonds and Jim Dinse FIRST for my jewelry needs before shopping retail in the future! If you are looking for a resource in this market don't even think about it; CALL JIM AT JLS DIAMONDS NOW AND MAKE AN APPT! You won't be disappointed!

Fat Pilgrim & Harvest Home shop in Sonoma, CA, on Highway 12…read more I luv stopping here to check out the inventory. It harkens to an old timey general store but with modern vibes and artisan curated pieces at down to earth prices. Seriously, the majority of prices match to that bullseye retail shop. One side is a general store with kitchen items, greeting cards, soaps, candles, snacks. jewelry, and women's accessories. The other side sells living room items... furniture, throws, pillows, home decor, small art pieces, and reproduction artwork. Oh I can't forget to tell you about the outdoor art sculptures which are displayed in the back yard. The sculptures are whimsical and artsy. They carry sofas and living room pieces. The furniture is of quality and comes with prices matching that quality. I enjoy shopping for the framed reproduction paintings and home decor. The price points range from $30 and upwards for the paintings.

As a general store, it is pretty general. They have hand sanitizers (I should've gotten one) Their small olive oil soap bars are reasonably priced.

The service is friendly&attentive, the prices reasonable. It's eccentric and fun. The only downside is the unpaved parking lot- I guess that's what wheel alignments are for. Really enjoyed it. Whimsical roadside attraction.
