We called here to see if we could have a brass bell engraved. They were confident in their answer…read morein being able to engrave it so we dropped the bell off with them. We called to check on the bell and first were told the girl who could work on it didn't come in until 10 one morning and they would call us with an update. I'm sure there was some confusion with myself calling and my husband being the person they called back however, after we called to check again on the bell, we were told that they engraved it, didn't like how it came out, buffed it, and would be re-engraving it. Once again, when we called to check on it, we were told that the girl that did engraving didn't work on Mondays. Then, next thing we know, they are telling us they can no longer engrave it. I understand that unpredictable situations occur and perhaps my perception of the experience is a bit different, but we were told they could do something and then after apparently doing work, could no longer perform the service requested. It just felt a bit off... everyone was friendly when we would call so nothing against the employees, just ended up being a situation that set us back on this project (a gift) a few weeks longer than we would have liked and just seemed like we were being given false information.

I needed service on an old wall clock that was ~not so valuable~ but very valuable to me and my…read morefamily. It was time to pass it from one generation to the next and the clock needed cleaned, minor repairs and adjustments to prepare it for transport to the next generation. Daniel Beaton of Matters of Time, took the time to do the work and do it well and never once suggested the clock was not worthy of being well taken care of. He even said "it is a privilege to be part of this family's story and this clock is priceless." After initial inspection he quoted the price and a time frame for the work and he kept his word. How many people do we meet in this day and age that care not only for the quality of their work, but the worth and value of the customer? I highly recommend Daniel and his work at Matters of Time.

I was excited to see if this shop had an onyx lamp, as I've been searching out the right one for my…read moreextensive collection of rock and gem specimens. I had a budget of about 1000$ so I just knew I'd find one. I did! It had no price tag on it anywhere. My husband very carefully started to lift the side to see if it was underneath. The owner I'm assuming, a wretched woman with silver hair, proceeded to treat us like toddlers. She rudely chastised him loudly. We don't pick that up! She yelled. He immediately let it go. Then, she could have recovered and made a sale. Look, I get it, it's expensive, but you don't have to act like a banshee. But no. She stuck with being rude. I'm sorry he said, she said, loudly.... THATS WHY WE ASK. That was it. I was done. She tried to recover saying, well it's $650, soooo.... Like we couldn't have afforded it anyway. This is the second time I've had a bad experience here, with that same woman. I gave it the benefit of a doubt, but she's just a rude jerk. The prices here are ridiculous. I could buy the onyx lamp online for about 250-450, but finding the specimen and supporting small business is the reason I don't. I won't be coming back here.

That watch was worth at least a couple hundred dollars when I left it at the store. Now it isn't worth anything. So, there are really only two possibilities here. One, that they caused the damage and didn't realize it. This would make them merely incompetent. Or, two, that they caused the damage to the watch and chose not to disclose it. This would make them incompetent and dishonest. Either way I won't be going back into that store again and I would counsel anyone who values their jewelry, to find another jeweler...
