I came by the store earlier because I needed a watch band adjusted. The store owner is a very…read morepleasant, friendly person, and he was efficient at shortening my wrist band. In fact, I thought I would need four links removed, but after looking it over, he suggested we try taking three off first, and he turned out to be right! The price for the adjustment was exactly what I expected. There was a nice selection of different brands and types of jewelry, including some very cool original designs by the proprietor. I highly recommend this place, especially to people who believe in supporting small, local businesses.

Look, but do not touch!…read more This shop is full of beautiful items, but the shopping experience there is awful. Prices are rather high at full retail. Many items are not priced nor are accessible to look at. In my shopping experience there today, the owner refused to show me a second item and asked: "Are you going to buy it?" followed by: "Come back when you are ready to buy. I am busy and have things to do." He shadowed me--the sole customer in the store--while I was looking at wooden jewelry boxes. When I stated that I would like to see the inside of one that was blocked by two others, he refused to move them for me and essentially asked me to leave the store. Prior to that when I was gently opening an accessible box, he warned me that if I break anything I would need to purchase it. First of all, any decent retailer would own breakage insurance and such practices of telling customers that they would be obligated to purchase anything broken, is really bad practice--and even more so when the customer is obviously being extra careful and even asking for the merchant/owner to move the items vs moving them herself. I saw a few potential items there that I was considering for a Bar Mitzvah gift as well as a potential well-needed jewelry box for myself, but now I will not bring any business there to a shop owner who is so discourteous. I do not recommend this shop for anyone else unless you know exactly what you want and are prepared to purchase it immediately. Also, they have a very poor return policy: only exchanges within 10 days; no returns for payment at all. That makes gift purchasing very undesirable, which is ironic for a store that sells primarily gift items.

Venus Jewelers are truly magical. I have been coming here for 12 years to repair / redesign pieces…read more I've also sold some old jewelry. in addition I have purchased gemstones and was assisted with the design process. Donna is a master in helping with this process and makes the experience full of creativity and joy. she has a sophisticated approach to design which Vic the jeweler executes masterfully. I've also worked with Igor who is fantastic. they host wonderful events such as the gem show and an estate jewelry sale . A great way to learn about all things jewelry. I could not say enough about the team at Venus . It feels like family as soon as you walk in the door. They are knowledgeable, professional, creative and offer a fair price. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had a fantastic time here. Vivian helped me out immensely. I told her what I was looking for (a…read morewater pipe in this case) and what my criteria and concerns were. She not only helped me choose from their lovely array of glassware something that fits my needs and my budget, but she helped me get some additional products to help with concerns I had like avoiding throat irritation and limiting smell, while still keeping price in mind. Proper cleaning products for my new pipe, plus an electric grinder when I discussed my struggle grinding with a metal grinder, and so on, including products I didn't even know existed like the MouthPeace that filters out tar and resin. At the end, she even threw in some hemp wicks and an anti odor spray for free! The handmade water pipes are all gorgeous too, and I'll probably end up saving up to buy one someday.

My first visit at this plant shop my friend and I were just browsing, admiring all the cool plants and decorations of the place. I ended up buying a plant and the guy working there told me all about the store. He mentioned they do workshops which I took a note of. A few months later, I came back with the same friend for said workshop. It was a chill, easy going time. We got to build our own terrarium with the help of Peter. He guided us through the process and at the end told us all about the plants we chose to put in it. Peter was very helpful and knowledge about every single plant in the shop (he is the owner). Everything in the shop is at a very good price and you get a 10% discount for attending the class plus another 10% if you have a rewards number. For now on this is the spot I'll be going to for all things plants!

They have wonderfully crafted variety of fragrances and the products are top quality. The shop itself is therapeutic with their colors and arrangements. They have a modest collection of men's collection too and I always find their body washes refreshing. They occasionally run good discount deals and their parking is a breeze.
