Walter repaired my ring...which I professionally demolished in the closet door. All that remained was a crumpled mess with a couple gems missing. I had to bend it to pry it off my finger.

Walter also got involved when I had specific concerns about setting the diamond and what was involved to make it the perfect ring. He was a true professional and answered all my concerns.

The majority of the jewelry I own and wear on the daily came from Cival. I have been a loyal…read morecustomer for years. I have always loved their funky, unique and affordable statement jewelry. Also absolutely loved the vibe of the store. I went to visit the new location today - it's beautiful don't get me wrong, but totally different vibe. I wouldn't even know I was in the same store. Inventory was much more limited, and most of it high end, out of my price range and not the every day pieces that I loved so much. I had admired the higher end custom pieces at the old location, but sad that they are now the primary inventory at the new store. I really hope with time they will have more variety and bring a bit of the old vibe back.

I extended my trip specifically for a visit to Cival, and IT WAS WORTH IT!…read more The gals have a laidback, fun vibe. They're around if you need them and will also offer to show you the piece you're looking at (instead of waiting around for you to ask). They have their jewelry production right in the back and offer to change a length/clasp/gemstone. I found an amazing vintage watch fob converted into a bracelet, but I didn't care for the chain. The gals offered me a few different vintage chain options and edited the piece on the spot! She was patient when it didn't fit and kindly added an extra link to the newly edited piece. That extra mile is what makes any business stand out from the rest, and I very much appreciated it! There were 4 different gals working and each of them were a part of my store experience. I love that vibe - a nice cross between slumber party vibe, girly pop vibe and artsy vibe. Most of their pieces are sterling silver or brass, but they have a handful of pieces in 14k and gold fill. I got a mixture of both! Their sweet spot price point is "affordable" while some pieces are definitely spendy. I've got my eye on a vintage wedding band for $3k. The store is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! Plenty of street parking in front! Yes they have a bathroom that's roomy and clean (and chic!)

From loose cabachon to tanazanite and everything in between, plus ready-made jewelry and estate sale pieces--it's all here. If you're into beads, crystals and handmade jewelry and in the city of Milwaukee you need to visit this store. For those of you who do make and sell jewelry, you can get a discount if you register your EIN with them. My friend got $500 worth of product for $250 with her EIN. Happy shopping!

Offerings range from very reasonably priced seed beads to higher end stuff like Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. Pretty much everything in between is well represented - semi precious beads, strands, accent and focal beads and plenty of tools. I find the staff here is really helpful too - I was looking for a specific chain style and while they didn't stock it, they were able to guide me to plenty of alternates.

The German Shepherd says he needs some money for home renovations, so the surprised new bank officer asks if he has any collateral. The canine offers up this antique artsy-fartsy thing saying it's worth a lot of money, he got it at On and On Milwaukee for much less than it's actually worth because the prices at this antique store are so reasonable. The lending officer is at a loss, this just wasn't covered in her extensive training so she excuses herself to see the bank manager for advice. She tells him "there's a German Shepherd who can talk who wants money for some renovation work, but all he has to secure it is this vintage thing I don't even know what it is, what should I do?" So the manager tells her, "It's a knick knack Patty Black, give the dog a loan." I'm sorry I don't actually know if they allow dogs in here, talking or not. They do sell all sorts of unusual art and antiques at very reasonable prices and it's right next to a wonderful wine bar and an excellent coffee shop.
