WOW. This place is amazing!…read more We were visiting Estes Park and wanted to take home a piece of jewelry as a souvenir but all the ones I saw looked too tchotchke-ish, too generic, too boring, or something I could get back home or simply order online. I wanted something local and unique. My husband and I had lunch at Penelope's and was walking back to the car when the Village Goldsmith's jewelry displays caught my eye. Here was some unique jewelry representing Estes Park and RMNP. I ran inside and Karen helped us immediately. She said that the pieces I was interested in (rings with RMNP's mountain ranges) were designed and cast in house. And surprise surprise of COURSE the only one on display fit my hand perfectly. My husband insisted we buy it and I walked out with a lovely and memorable piece of jewelry. Not only was it special to the location, it was custom made, locally designed, and hand cast. It is very special and we spent all day taking photos of it next to the mountain ranges it represented HAHA. Thanks, Karen! We love it and are resisting the temptation to buy everything on your website :)

I paid thousands of dollars for a watch that broke within a few weeks of wearing it. It was no…read morelonger under warranty since I bought it a couple years back (it sat in my safe). Vortic said they could fix it for 500$. I paid the 500$ IN ADVANCE, and mailed the watch. After many months, many emails, many calls, and LOTS of waiting (over 6 months) they had not even begun to repair the watch. Not to mention this watch came with a factory defect (a piece of debris inside the case), it also absorbed sweat inside the case and started rusting inside. Just after a few weeks use. Finally the watch was mailed back to me BUT Vortic sent the watch to the wrong address and then when I emailed them stating that it was mailed to my old home. NO REPLY. This is not a real company. They make a watch a day and that is the extent of this company. Do not expect any level of customer service after you buy a watch from them. Many times they didn't even answer the phone.

I have two of their watches. One has worked great with no issues for a couple years now. The…read moresecond, one of their "Comparing" watches, not so. Received it, did not work, a broken internal part. Returned, repaired, received back...wore it one time. Sat in a safe for several months and went to wear again...broke! This time a fractured staff from an "impact." No impacts, just in its box in a safe. Out of warranty. Vortic has had the watch since Jan 9. Diagnosed problem on Mar 6, but did not complete the repair at that time for some unknown reason. Invoiced me for $850 with a credit of $170...so, $680! I have not paid that because nobody will answer an email or phone. I'll pay for the repair once I know it's been completed and ready for shipment not before. Then I'll move to sell it for a loss just to be done with it.

Found a lovely turquoise ring with just a touch of ornamentation, in just my size. (I have surprisingly slim fingers). Best part was that I'd been look for a the perfect turquoise ring for almost three years. Plus, at half off the original price, it seemed like a dream come true. Unfortunately, when I wore the ring today, it started getting bent out of shape. I'm so disappointed that the ring ended up being really delicate. I love it though, so I'll just have to be super careful!

They have a huge selection…read moreof rocks, fossils, jewelry and other unique pieces, but everything was well organized and easy to look through. There were plenty of options at different price points, so even though some of the jewelry I loved was outside my budget this trip, there were still smaller things we could take home. The turquoise jewelry was especially beautiful and there were several sets I would've loved to buy. They also had a surprisingly large selection of gorgeous Turkish lamps that were fun to look at. The man working there was very friendly and helpful without ever being pushy. He carried himself very respectfully and gave us space to look around while still being available if we needed anything, which I really appreciated. We ended up leaving with a couple of smaller pieces. I picked out a black worry stone and my daughter found a pink and blue crystal that she loved. There was so much to look at and choose from that I would absolutely stop in again the next time we're in Estes Park. Hopefully next time I'll have a little more room in the budget because there were definitely a few pieces I would've loved to bring home!

In my search for a small cross necklace, I came across this gem of a jewelry store. I had spent a…read morelot of time in Estes park wandering in and out of different shops looking for a very specific style and size of necklace. I was becoming quite disappointed as everything I found was too big or too small or had some crazy design, wasn't the right color, etc. I was at the end of my journey and about to give up when I decided to give a last ditch effort and walked into Sierra Smallbird. It is a small standalone shop in the heart of Estes Park. When I walked in, I was greeted with the sound of birds chirping through the speaker on a phone. The store is clean and well lit. After looking around a bit, I was greeted by the store owner, Sierra. She told me a bit about what she had, and I explained to her exactly what I was looking for. I asked her if she had a cross necklace pendent that was the same size as a pair of earrings I saw on the shelf. She showed me the larger ones, but I told her I had hoped for something a bit smaller. She then offered to turn one of the earrings into a pendent for a necklace for me. After showing me the different chains, explaining the type of metal, and discussing pricing, she got to work putting together my necklace. It was so simple, yet so beautiful and truly everything I wanted. Sierra was so kind and friendly and I so appreciate her taking the time to make the exact necklace I was looking for. Highly recommend stopping in when you're in the area.

She and I chose the stone, and what particular portion of the stone I wanted in my ring. It is reminiscent of a mountain, the sky and a tiny cloud off to the left. We stopped in midday Friday and she had it completed ahead of schedule, Saturday morning. She is very reasonably priced. She was wonderful to work with. Her creations are lovely and obviously one of a kind.
