As the jeweler went to take it off my wrist, the clasp disintegrated in his hand. About one week later, while trying to secure the clasp on an 18 inch string of pearls, the clasp broke.

The interaction between customer & store owner was pleasant and friendly. The collection at Palmer's looked beautiful and of high quality.

I came here to exchange a gift and spent about 45 minutes browsing and working with a woman who…read moreworked here. The store has a lot of beautiful gem work, though most of those pieces were out of my price range. I really gravitated toward the silver pieces, some of which were very classic but most being a bit more modern and eclectic. I tend to like bigger earrings; there were some that fit that criterion, though it seemed that more earrings were smaller or basic drops. While I appreciated that the woman I worked with was not being pushy, it kind of seemed like she wasn't listening to what I said or what I was gravitating toward. It wasn't a big deal, but in the end, I feel like I was doing all the work. There also seemed to be a weird dynamic between her and another person who worked here around doing the exchange. I don't think anything weird was going on, but the tension was noticeable. Lastly, be sure you understand the exchange and return policy. The full refund window is only two weeks, and then there's an additional window for store credit. The person who originally got me the present said he had not been aware of that policy, and ultimately, I still have some credit I need to come back and use.
