You can get fossilized shark teeth, quartz, jade, pictures stone and SO much more. The staff is super helpful and just about as excited about talking about rocks as you are to buy them. The prices are a lot lower than I had expected and we came out with so many more rocks that I had intended.

The labour board needs to investigate this place. They have an unprecedented turnover rate and will…read morefire you with no notice right before the holidays as they've done with entire departments before, but they'll be sure to inform your entire team before you are even made aware. On the "road," you only get breaks if there's time, despite standing for 12 hours straight. They will make you re-sign a part time contract despite promising you full time and benefits. A coworker of mine worked 50+ hour weeks without a raise or a full time contract. Workload is massive and unfair for $16/hr. They mostly hire young people that they can manipulate easily, especially for the shows. When 8 people phone in sick after teardown, there is obviously a core problem in the company but you just laughed. The owners create an extremely suppressive environment. They gaslight, victim blame, lie, gossip, lovebomb, micromanage, avoid reflection, and never take accountability. There is no diversity, safety or trust, but there is a constant fear of retribution. It makes you wonder why there's no HR department. They use fear as motivation as the rules only exist to keep us in line. They are microaggressive and expect workaholic behaviour but provide no opportunities of forward movement. There is immense leadership gossip and favouritism. Regular employees are not allowed boundaries. The owners are malicious and secretive. They insist on silence as employees are on a need to know basis. We are not to discuss wages, hour cuts, contracts, and/or red flags or we will be punished. They gossip about former employees and even harassed one and used it to blackmail them. They lie about pricing and overcharge people and expect us not to tell them, and they create fake sales for profit. They lie about unethical sourcing to customers and employees. They undermine serious health hazards on a daily basis. One coworkers hours were cut to one day a week after she claimed WCB when a product fell on her head causing a concussion, and another coworker got blood poisoning from their failure to explain the risks of lead-based minerals. The owners spend the majority of their time managing their ego over their vision, and personal interest always comes before collective good. They told us the store was losing money so they had to pay us out of their savings, but can afford to buy a house and a boat on Vancouver Island and a helicopter. They intentionally use unclear communication to cover their own disorganization and to place the blame elsewhere. These people need their business license revoked for abusing their entire workforce. Even the customers are beginning to notice their arrogance and disrespect whenever they meet them. I am truly disgusted with this company's practices and will rejoice when they are finally closed indefinitely.

I had my wife's wedding set redesigned for our 20th. A stunning piece of work with diamonds and…read morerubies. Constantly getting compliments for the last 6 years. Both my married daughters also had their sets designed and built there. All beautiful work. Millennia of craftsmanship learned in Armenia in this store. I keep urging him to do only custom work. He is generous to a fault. Returns non refundable deposits for those whose conditions have changed. I have heard the story of the first lady reviewer. I know when my wife's rings were being made, he kept commenting that the side bands needed to be heavy enough to not bend as they were 18k. I understand that the bands in the negative review were deformed and lost diamonds. It is my understanding that the buyer was informed of the potential risks of thin bands. I don't know how a goldsmith can be responsible for 18k gold being malleable. I know he fixed the rings at his cost several times. I know that my son in law wanted diamonds on the full circumference but deferred to Verage recommendation and didn't. The rings are still solid. At some point, the buyer has to be responsible for their purchase and a refund after well over a year for custom casting is not reasonable. I get paid nothing, he is not family. Just a good goldsmith. My advice is to listen to what he has to say and work with him, not demand of him.

Great variety of produce that's usually fresh. Meat department always has some good fresh cuts for that quick inspiration meal along with a good selection of the frozen stuff. Most of the cashiers are quick and friendly. Starbucks on site, not always friendly but still usually make a great drink. Gas bar is convenient. I always pay at the pump so I'm not sure if they are friendly. but usually have everything you need to check oil, get air and wash windows. It would be nice if they had the pump handles that lock into place but very few stations seem to have those anymore. all in all a great store. Now if they could just make an iphone app to help with the shopping it could be perfect!

I think at one point he actually called it the worst piece of work he has ever seen in his life, all so he could try and get a sale out of us.

Prices were crazy around town ($40-$45), but Village Goldsmith was much more reasonable at $25 for my silver rings (Yes! He even resizes silver!) & $30 for my white gold rings. The Goldsmith was very friendly & extremely efficient, & his work was impeccable. I feel like I have brand new rings! I will tell all my friends to go to him first, if they ever need any work done on their jewelry. Unfortunately, his shop is tucked away in the Village Mall & not easy to spot. Look for the huge sign in the corner for Blarney Stone Pub & Restaurant, directly below it you will see the word Goldsmith. Walk under the arch & the pub is to the left & the Goldsmith is to the right.

You can go there for something simple like a battery for your watch, get jewellery repaired, buy an original piece (not those generic ones you find at the jewellery stores in the malls), or get something created with your own design.

The place looks small, and is kind of hidden (between the Blarney Stone and Red Deer Buffet) but don't let that deceive you.
