    Cuba has been working in this industry for over 20 years is very professional! The shop and staff are always friendly. I can't say enough about how patience they were with me allowing time to browse and make selections. Plus it is always nice to see the items up close. Cuba ensures you see him wash his hands, autoclave your selection, cleans and prep your ears. He will talk you through each step of the process which I love I feel like I am safe hands. I made an appointment to get my rook piercing in the beginning of April. I came back this time due to my latest rook piercing had swollen to the point the jewelry was almost engulfed one side. I made a 4 week piercing checkup and they were able to help. I had to switch out the longest piece of titanium jewelry they had on hand. I expressed to the piercer to make sure it was long. She explained that I need to keep an eye out for excessive swelling and a fever. She also advised to come back in a week to downsize. In my opinion, I will stick to my intuition and wait longer before I come back to have them downsize my jewelry! This is the second experience I had with a piercing swelling and the jewelry initially in place was not long enough to account for swelling from Fundamental. I just swell a lot ‍. Unfortunately each time the initially jewelry had to be switched out which required be to make multiple trips. For my next piercing I will ensure I have an extra long bar initially in place to prevent this from happening again ‍. All these early jewelry changes adds more time to the healing process and can be uncomfortable. This shop is by appointment only so no walk-ins to browse. If you want to browse check out their social media.

    I remember going to Claire's as a kid and having them pierce my ears and then realizing they weren't even, and then an ear infection. Sooooo.... When my son wanted his ears pierced I wanted to go to a place where they were clean and professional. Enter: Fundamental. They were so nice and patient with my son and it was a great experience. We will be back and I highly recommend them for any parent looking for a place for their child.

    Libra piercing & small stud below it are what was pierced here!

I'd gotten a quote (which took about 10 days) at another local jeweler and felt strongly I was being very over-charged. At Bryn Mawr I was attended by Emmett, who was friendly and helpful. I wanted to do a fixed pendant for the diamond in the engagement ring and make cluster earring from the small stones in the wedding band. Emmett helped me pick a chain and ensured they had a clear picture of what I wanted for the reasons, then provided a full quote including the purchase of the scrap gold. It was about 40% less than I was previously quoted. I paid the deposit and hoped for a good outcome! I picked up my new jewelry Sunday and couldn't be happier!

After reading countless glowing reviews and loving the convenient location, I decided to give them a try--and I'm SO glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such a warm, friendly welcome. Colleen assisted me with my custom nameplate order and was absolutely wonderful--kind, knowledgeable, and never pushy. She offered a range of price options and made the whole process feel easy and exciting. I placed my order expecting a couple weeks' turnaround, but to my surprise, it was ready in just one week--and it was perfect! While picking it up, I asked about refreshing my white gold wedding ring. Colleen not only had it cleaned and polished to a beautiful, shiny, like-new finish, but she also noticed the center stone was slightly loose and had it secured--all included in the service price! I've officially found my go-to jewelry store just 15 minutes from home. I've already recommended them to my bestie, who's planning to have a bracelet made--and I'll be taking her there soon! This is a solid 5+ star review from a VERY happy customer. Thank you, Bryn Mawr Jewelry Company, for your honesty, craftsmanship, and exceptional service. You've earned a customer for life!

What stood out about Dimend SCAASI was their selection of settings and stones at some of the most competitive prices. I was a little nervous about buying a ring online, so I booked an in-person appointment, and I'm very glad I did. The team was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They patiently walked me through the entire process, showing me all the different settings, cuts, and options while answering every question I had. Working directly with Isaac was a highlight. After I shared my budget and preferences, he found a stone that matched exactly what I wanted and ordered it that same day. As another thoughtful touch, he scheduled a time for me to view the diamond in person once it arrived and assured me that if I wasn't completely happy with it, he'd replace it at no cost and no questions asked. The entire team made the process an absolute joy. All communication was responsive and they were very accommodating with my engagement timeline, ensuring the ring was ready well in advance. When I picked it up, the diamond grading report, insurance details, and additional paperwork were all prepared and ready, and the ring itself looked stunning. Everything turned out great and my Fiancé absolutely loved the ring. I'm thrilled I found Dimend SCAASI and can't say enough good things about the experience.

So I took it to the Swap o Rama flea market and the gentleman there opened the watch and told me that they bent a piece that holds the battery in place. He said instead of removing the piece probably by removing the screws they tried to pry it out and in turn scratching the pieces and bending the piece. So he ended up ordering the replacement parts and fixed it for me. I wouldn't recommend this place. If you do happen to do business here be very careful because if they are doing this type of work, I can imagine where else they're cutting corners or deceiving customers. Whether it's with watches or gold jewelry that they sell or buy. I mean, I got my watch fixed at a flea market for God sakes.

    This review is LONG overdue…read more After looking online and at a couple of different 'big box' type jewelry stores for an engagement ring and just not finding what we wanted, we decided we wanted to go the route of having a custom ring made, and so we ended up at Holtzmann's. Pam and Pat Holtzmann are the most phenomenal folks around. When you're in their store, you feel like family. They are super friendly, and made you feel comfortable from the get-go. They are both super patient, and they really take the time to educate you on different stones, and different aspects of design to help make sure that you're creating a jewelry piece that will last a lifetime with proper care. We ended up having my engagement ring and my husband's wedding ring made by them, and then after having my husbands wedding ring made, I ended up wanting to make a more feminine, mini-version of his ring to be able to wear myself as well, and they helped us make that too. The quality of the jewelry pieces we received is outstanding, and working with Pam and Pat was the same. We valued getting to work with them so closely on pieces we plan to wear a lifetime! Although we had rings made, Holtzmann's specializes in all types of custom jewelry. We happened to pop into the store at the tail end of another couple leaving who had the most beautiful custom bracelet made, and at another visit saw someone picking up a necklace that they had redesigned with stones from a different necklace they no longer wore anymore. All of those jewelry pieces were amazing too. 10/10 recommend for whatever your jewelry needs are!!
