    Vintage supplies, buttons, trims, charms, velvet flowers
    Babs C.

    This is the most amazing little place for vintage and antique trims, silk and velvet flowers, ribbons, buttons of all makes and eras, jewelry and findings, accoutrements, ephemera, millinery supplies of all sorts for arts and crafts, french embroidered trims! Charms, and much, much more! They are extremely knowledgeable on all of their stock and very professional! I could not be happier with their service, my experience, and my purchases. Repeat customer! Great location for local dining, shopping, relaxing! Right off the courtyard for easy access and plenty of nearby parking.

    Gorgeous treasures!

From the moment I walked in I was assigned to Miguel. He is extremely knowledgeable patient and friendly. He showed me multiple examples and ultimately we narrowed it down to the perfect bracelet for my wife and rope chain for myself. I have been a big fan of Gabe and Danny for some time I've watched their videos on YouTube and I would highly recommend them! They treat you like family and are very kind. Whenever you go to happy jewelers definitely ask for Miguel he'll make sure you get the best customer service experience. I will continue to go back. Thank you Miguel.

They listened carefully, took accountability, and went above and beyond to resolve the issue. I really appreciate the level of care, communication, and professionalism they showed throughout the process. While my initial experience was frustrating, their response demonstrated that they truly value their customers and are committed to improving. I also appreciate the rep that we worked with for treating us kindly & warmly even after we had shared our concerns. Thank you to the team for taking the time to address my concerns and for working hard to turn the situation around. Also, absolutely in love with the customized setting that the production team was able to produce.

    I reached out on Yelp asking multiple jewelers about medium thick chains for memorial necklaces…read moresince we want something durable. Guy from Jeweler's Touch stood out in his quick responses and helpfulness. When we arrived that evening to speak to someone, Brandon was amazing. He was friendly, super patient, and explained everything. He understood how difficult it was to look for rose gold chains, especially when thicker too. I was super indecisive and he gave me all the time in the world to look through their gold book which had all kinds of designs and thickness scaled to life size so I could place my pendant on it to imagine how it would look. He also brought out samples of chain types as I picked out ones to see if I'd like the look in person. He ended up finding an estate gold chain that looked absolutely perfect for my husband's pendant in shine and style. We tried it for a few days (they give you 30 days hassle-free) and my husband knew it wasn't the right length of style for his personal preference and our tuggy toddlers within one day. It was gorgeous and I wished it worked out, but maybe not for us. We came back a few days later after Christmas Eve and Brandon helped me out again with the return and gave me suggestions for the length of my husband's necklace based on preference. I saw people coming in and out during the two times I went and I see why. These people are amazing, patient, knowledgeable, super friendly and not pushy at all. They want to help make happy customers who are looking for that perfect jewelry. Although we are still on the search for the "perfect" chain for each of us (we are not major jewelry people but need this to be just right for us in every way), I appreciate the help that Jeweler's Touch gave and would recommend them for anyone looking for a custom piece or specific jewelry services.

Eric is incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire process feel like a partnership rather than a transaction. While Mary does a fantastic job taking care of my wife Priscilla's jewelry needs, I'm glad to say I've officially found "my guy" for my side of things. What I appreciated most was Eric's willingness to help me look toward the future. My daughters are still in their teens, but I've started investing now in high-quality rings and men's bracelets for my future sons-in-law and daughter-in-law. I want to ensure these legacy pieces are secured for their major lifetime events, and I trust Eric's eye to help me find the right items as they come across his desk. If you want someone who respects your time and shares a genuine passion for fine pieces, ask for Eric.

    The jewelry market is definitely a competitive one, especially when there's so many big name brands…read moreadvertising all over their place and their holiday specials, it's really difficult to find someone who makes you feel comfortable and not trying every method to push you into buying something. Pam, who has been in the business for at least 30 years, was referred to me by an old family friend who lives in the area. I just like to buy myself some nice gifts once in a while, and wanted to check out their inventory. I was not disappointed! Not only did she pay attention to details about what I wanted and what kind of jewelry I liked, but she was very patient with me and took all the time in the world to make sure I was completely satisfied. She showed me a variety of options and combinations. Andy, was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful during the process as well! They both gave me great prices and went home with a triple band ring, that I can't wait to show off to all my friends. I will definitely be recommending this place to all my friends and family. Come here for all your jewelry needs from new purchases to repairs!

    My husband and I stumbled upon on this family owned shop while looking at diamonds. Intially my…read morehusband got a ring made but had not filled the centerstone when he proposed since he was unsure of what diamond cut I would want and really wanted to make sure that I loved what I had. Andy was kind enough to spend some time thoroughly explaining and showing the differences between diamonds to us. The following weekend we returned with the ring and also met Pam which both of them showed us how the ring would look with different cuts, clarity and color. They worked with our budget and presented beautiful options to us. My absolute favorite thing about working with Pam was that rather than pushing me to go bigger since most woman tend to want to upgrade later, she really understood that I just simply like more simple and danity things. They really helped us narrow down the type we would want and they both learned our taste fairly quickly. From there on out, this was our go to shop. Andy has also assisted us in creating custom pieces of jewerly including necklace pendents and my husband's custom wedding band to match the design of my enegagment ring. They have been so patience with us and has always delivered on their end . We even let both our parents tag along with us and to my surprised my mother in-law, mother and father had purchased jewelry from them as well. As time progressed and our wedding date got closer, my husband purchased my wedding band here including the dowry (in my culture the dowry is bride's gift present from teh ro). Pam knew exactly what my taste was based on our previous encounters along with the pieces I would admire which made the process of completing the dowry set much easier on my husband. Their shop does not typically carry many pieces of 24k gold since its not the most popular item to sell but at the resquest can bring in absolutely beautifully stunning pieaces. I had shown them the type of jewerly I would like that would fulfill the dowry and they definitly delivered. They worked with my husband picking out pieces that matched the idea of what I would love. They are very helpful, knowledgable and really take the time to help you find what you want. We have grown so close to the both of them during this journey that they literally feel like family to us. We still keep in touch til this day. I have recommened them to all my family and friends. This will forever be my go to shop.
