When I had a painting that I no longer wanted, I entrusted her to sell it for me, no contracts signed, and only a spoken agreement. After some time, I inquired about the painting and was told it hadn't sold so I requested it back. I was then told she had no access to the painting so I requested the agreed payment. I was then met with the insistence that she had no money to pay me. I will spare you the details, but after much heated discussion, she eventually paid me, who knows what she did with the painting. I recently contacted the gallery owner about a painting from an artist that presumably she has, as the artist has not received her share of the sale. A month later and after 2 emails, I have not heard a word from her. I ask myself, Why? Sold the painting but doesn't want me to know so she doesn't have to pay the artist what she is owed? Doesn't want my business? By the way, the artist in question, whose multiple paintings I have bought from Kathleen, has pulled out of the gallery after 20+ years.

In fact, so bad was my experience it still bothers us more than a year later and I opted to Yelp about it. Prior to '24 I've bought sterling Nantucket basket bracelets for all my daughters and bride, without any incident at this store. Summer of '24: Milling about Town, we went into the Jewel in the Sea. Working the store counter was a young African American woman who was pre-occupied with her laptop. There was no one else in the store, just my bride and me. Walking through the store, I spy a knock-off, Swatch-esque, wristwatch. I collect wristwatches, so I asked her how much this one was. She proceeded to bark at me that she was busy and told me to wait. So much for that gracious Nantucket customer service; the poor little princess from Manhattan College. Now, I never talk down to people like she did to me, and there was really no reason for her to do so; it was a gesture of power and control. After waiting about eight minutes, I picked up the watch to read the price tag. She then started to yell at me, implying that I was trying to steal it. Please note, the wristwatch was not locked up or under glass. Maybe this store is great, maybe their merchandise is nice, and the prices are reasonable. However, the help they employed in '24, at least the day we visited, was downright exceptionally rude. I was even more surprised to read that Nantucket Today rated this store as 'the best' on the island! IMHO, Nantucket Today's judgement is lacking. Plenty of other jewelry stores on the island and in Town.

Prices there are very good. Lots of Submariners and GMTs, and many other high end watches too (e.g., Patek Philippe, etc.), but Rollies are my passion. Cash or credit. I highly recommend a visit when in island! Nice clothing selection too!

I had an opportunity to visit Michael's workshop and was very impressed with the craftsmanship of…read morehis baskets. This is authentic Nantucket lightship baskets. All handmade by Michael. I discovered there are a lot of imitation baskets on the market that are cheaper but they're often made overseas and even machine made. These baskets can be used as purses, furniture pieces, or decorative designs for the home. These are art pieces that can be passed down for generations. These cost a pretty penny but considering the amount of time that goes into each of these pieces and the precious stones and antique ivory that adorn them, it's really worth it the price you'd pay for a keepsake from Nantucket. Michael also does a lot of custom orders but expect a wait list for these.

I make baskets as a hobby and have sold them at craft fairs. These baskets are beautifully crafted.read more

Dawn Kelly has a gift…read more My mom, ever the skeptic of everything, wondered whether Dawn was "more than we needed" in a florist. She, perhaps, imagined the simplicity of a Main Street mom-and-pop florist who would put together some nice tabletop arrangements and be on their merry way. It's true, Dawn Kelly is so much more than that (although I would argue not necessarily cost-wise). And, yes, you need her! I fancy myself an artist of sorts (don't we all?). Dawn was patient and BRILLIANT at interpreting the nonsense that spewed from my mouth about Dutch Masters and English gardens (seriously who am I and why did someone even want to marry me?). She not only developed beautiful concepts based on my ideas and helped shape my thoughts into a true VISION, she did so in an organized, straightforward fashion with pricing that ended up being extraordinarily accurate. No surprises in the end; just stunningly perfect flowers and decor. She truly designs decor for your event that goes beyond flowers down to tabletop details like taper candles, unique and eclectic vases, etc. She looks to be economical for you when it makes sense and works well. For example, she suggested we repurpose our aisle arrangements from the church on the tables during our cocktail hour. Her details -- like corsages and boutonnières -- were unique and helped to better define our wedding and set it apart from the rest. She is a key reason our wedding captured elements of who we really are, and she delivered above and beyond, all for what we felt was reasonably pricing. If you are hosting a wedding or major event on Nantucket, I could not recommend Dawn more highly.

My experience working with Dawn was just terrible. I think she is unprofessional and I would not…read morerecommend her to anyone. Our flowers literally could not have been worse. Every item we paid for was of extremely poor quality and aesthetic. Dawn told me that she was going to have to specially import a type of hydrangea, because the color I wanted was out of season and it would be significantly more expensive~ I understood this, and agreed. The "specially imported" and "expensive" hydrangea that was actually used in my flower arrangements was a REGULAR white hydrangea that she SPRAY PAINTED hot pink (my wedding color). You should also know that I'm a floral designer~regular white hydrangeas do not need to be imported and spray paint does not make a flower a "special and expensive import". My bridal bouquet cost $350.00 and the bridesmaids bouquets cost $95.00 each and somehow, my bouquet was the tiniest of all the bouquets. The flowers in my bouquet were supposed to be "premium" blooms, but there were literally 4 premium flowers in my bouquet. Half of the flowers were dead and should have never been used. The bouquet's wraps had staples hanging out of them. The corsages were literally falling apart before the ceremony even began. We actually had to scotch tape them together :( The boutonnieres each had a bunch of loops when we specifically said "no loops". After the wedding we tried to contact Dawn to talk about our concerns and 3 weeks later, she still has not returned our phone calls or emails. My mom even stopped by her shop and left a note for her to please follow up with us. Apparently, she doesn't care about providing any level of customer service once she has her money. If I could give zero stars I would.

When a gift gallery is impeccably curated, there is no reason to "shop around."…read more G.S. Hill Gallery on Nantucket is just that. With a perfect selection of jewelry (mainly pearls), glass, china, hand carved wood pieces, paintings and of course, Nantucket baskets, you will surely find many gifts for the ones you love and one for yourself. The owner is lovely. Having recently celebrated 30 years in business, she understands her clientele and doesn't need to play the "hard sell" game. Her pieces are absolutely stunning and truly sell themselves. On my recent trip, I purchased the new "must have" freshwater pearl and leather bracelet by designer Pam Freitus. Each pearl is chosen by Freitus, each bracelet made by hand. Despite their immense popularity, the prices are still "gentle." Depending on pearl size and closure, you can spend as little as $40. Customized pieces are available, all correspondence can go through the gallery. Gentlemen: Trust me here. The woman in your life will be thrilled if you visit G.S. Hill. Give the owner your budget and describe who the gift is for. You will be a gift-giving superstar! NOTE: There is a great selection of pieces made with irregular pearls. I personally find the irregulars have a bit more personality and style than their perfect counterparts, and you know what? They are a lot less expensive. If you're looking for a little something to bring back to Mom, go with their recycled hand-pressed sun-catchers. Small sun-catchers are $9 with the large being $22. The traditional Nantucket baskets come in range of prices, but no matter where you go on the island, you'll spend a small fortune. If you're going to make the investment, I recommend G.S. Hill. The quality of her goods and the entire shopping experience is worth it.
