I've been purchasing jewelry from Elaine B since 2012, and it has been a joy to watch her business…read moregrow over the years. I'm not surprised she's been so successful--her designs are timeless, her craftsmanship is impeccable, and she provides truly outstanding customer service. My most recent purchase was a custom design. As I told Elaine, I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with my great aunt's ruby, which I inherited years ago but had never worn because the ring was too big. Elaine sized it down, and worked with me to design two beautiful stacking rings to go with the ruby. (I chose to have them made as three separate rings, so I can wear them separately or together). Elaine also took a broken Roman glass ring and remade it into a pendant, giving it a second life. I can't recommend her and her business highly enough--especially if you are looking for a custom piece, or re-imagining a stone you've had for years. You couldn't be in better hands.

I left them with instructions that my earrings be cleaned. Upon returning (the second time) my earrings still had traces of this white material in the creases and folds. I didn't realize what happened until later; In my opinion Kramer made a copy/mold of my earrings without my permission. I had this experience about 8 years ago and the staff were off-putting and rude. At the time, I did not have access to Yelp.

Apparently he's there every other Saturday until November - then it will be every Saturday. May want to call ahead and ask if you're driving from long distances. Don't be alarmed by the densely populated table of wood - each ring, pair of earrings, or necklace is 100% unique and comes from recycled/rescued urban trees. So each piece also has a story (like the tree that fell on his house) and a location. Michigan, represent. The rings go for $25 and are worth every penny. They are sturdy and gorgeously 'rustic' while still being artful and elegant. He makes them in a variety of sizes. The larger necklace pieces run $60 a pop (please don't buy the one I'm lusting after! I'm just waiting for my next paycheck...). He tells me he can also do custom orders of plugs (for the ol' earlobe stretchers out there) but he doesn't have any in stock (since everyone wants different sizes in a different look). His site has stunning photographs of his collections and gives you an idea of his range of work. And the mood it can set. He also does furniture, culinary tools, and leatherwork, oh my. If you want some amazing, one-of-a-kind natural bling, get thee here.

Botched Watch Repair & Terrible Customer Service: TL/DR find…read morea different store if you are looking to have your watch repaired. In April I dropped my watch off here for repairs; the watch was running slow and the crown needed replacing. I was told that it would be ready in 3-4 weeks, which would allow me to retrieve my watch before I move out-of-state in June. However, the repair took longer than expected due to parts sourcing. While this was an understandable delay, I was not informed of any delays or repair updates; I had to continuously text and call the store asking for an ETA for the watch to be repaired. When I finally received the watch in July (two months after I had been told it would be ready), the watch was in a worse state than when I had dropped it off: the chronometer is offset by 2-3 seconds, the lower hand has fallen off of the face, and the self-winding mechanism is making scratching noises inside that watch that were not previously present. As I now live in Tennessee I contacted the store to ask for a refund: they refused without seeing the product (which I am unable to hand deliver and do not feel comfortable mailing them due to their poor customer service and botched previous repair) and told me "you have a warranty for this". For context, I've had this watch repaired multiple times over the years due to damage received while deployed or on exercise with the Marines; this is hands down the worst experience I've had with a repair shop.

They're going through some structuring of their Center displays. The owner, Brendan. He's had the shop here for 38 years. That's quite a long standing.

He said that they will call me when it's done, but I can also check in if they don't call me in a week. The 5 rings fit perfectly now and look great. $600 to resize five rings, at a cost of $120 per ring for the resizing.

I found Elements on yelp and checked out their website where I saw a video of the process they go through to make jewelry so I dropped in. Brendan was very kind and informative and made a process I knew nothing about really easy to understand. I gave him an idea of what we wanted and dropped off the raw materials I had on me to get my now fiancee's engagement ring and even my own wedding band. Since it was a unique gift I asked if I could come in to document the process to which he agreed. He first sent over mock-ups of the designs and answered any questions I had then had me come in when he was ready to melt down my "grandma-gold". That experience was pretty cool and huge thanks to Brendan for accommodating me. A week later it was ready for pick up and was perfect. It's been a while but thank you again Brendan and hope you and your loved ones were safe since I saw you last.
