The absolute wackiest experience with this jeweler. There was a woman who befriended me, she seem…read moreto be very impressed with all my fancy connections and political connections and very highbrow life. She loved that I wore Hermes Lilly Pulitzer. Seemed very impressed, and needed some fast cash, she even asked could she clean my home for me. She described her husband as wealthy, but didn't quite know what he did, she didn't "need to know". She seem to be in possession of a lot of designer clothing and wanted to sell it to me, I don't need designer clothing I have a lot of designer clothing. So after cleaning my home washing my dishes, I noticed she was also very nervous, almost shaking, she said she had anxiety, OK that made sense. She said she needed to go to your jewelry store, she said she had an appointment with your jewelry store, but wanted to know if we could stop at the post office first. She showed me a Rolex watch and a wedding ring that she needed to pawn basically because of her cash flow issue. My question was "where was her husband?" She didn't answer. She also didn't have money to send a box at the post office to ask you to pay. Again I noticed how nervous this woman was, a new friend, didn't want to judge her, not assume she was using drugs. Then she told me the truth, her husband had left her, that's why she needed to sell the ring, and a very expensive Rolex watch. The problem was she said, the serial number had been filed off, I told her I didn't think you would take the watch. However, she spoke Polish I believe and somebody in your store did as well. However when we got in the store, there was somebody in the store who began shaking as well, they were very nervous as they wrote out a big check. The whole thing was so peculiar. I thought to myself "what is going on here?" I don't believe for a minute you and your business had any idea about the origins of the watch, how it was obtained, or even noticed the serial number was filed off. It was a quick transaction, you trusted her because she pulled the biggest con of all: , affinity. You were comfortable with her. When we got outside I asked her "why were you so nervous, what was that about?" Kid you not, whether she was telling the truth or not I'll never know, she told me what her husband actually did for a living, and it was pretty scary. How the Rolex was obtained was even scarier. I told her to never contact me again. You have a nice jewelry store. Giving me that kind of nonsense. And I definitely don't need anybody using me and my social capital as an accomplice to whatever shady deal she was pulling. I hope she didn't hurt you. " Bad associations spoil useful habits,"

I've gone to this jeweler in the past to get my jewelry fixed. I recently went there with a silver…read morebracelet with a script inside that needed a simple revision (bought at auction) to give as a gift and a small diamond band that needed re-sizing. What a waste of time. They called me back a few days later with an outrageous estimate for the bracelet and told me they needed to send my ring to some corporate fixer because the size of my finger is so small that diamonds might pop. OK, I understand why sizing might affect how diamonds are affixed to the gold, but I want "local" I can trust and don't want my jewelry sent elsewhere. I believe they only want shoppers to buy the beautiful jewelry they have on display. I'm looking for an 18k gold chain and always looking at rings for my husband to buy me; however, I also have valuable jewelry from my mother, who was European and bought in Spain and Italy. I want a real jeweler I can trust to buy from, make jewelry from the single earrings I have (having lost one of the pair), old gold that I don't wear, and fix jewelry I've inherited, has been gifted to me, or bought. They just need to say they don't fix jewelry, only sell. Looking for a real jeweler.

I don't really care to write reviews, but I had my first Pretty Woman moment, so I thought I should…read moreshare it. Here's how it went down: The gentleman working there engages us (fine and reasonable), but he immediately points out the cheapest item they have and essentially forces my boyfriend to try it on. Okay, we didn't ask. Then, he later tells us that the most affordable item is $3800 - unprompted. Again, we didn't ask. He also discussed a frequent customer that runs a corporation (I won't mention which company for their own privacy), I assume, to further disclose how their patrons are wealthy. Yikes. Throughout this, he would not stop engaging us and he made it very difficult to leave. If you thought we couldn't afford anything in your store, why constantly engage us in a one-sided dialogue? The other workers were also deep in conversation in front of a few of their display cases, blocking them from our line of sight. There was plenty of room to stand elsewhere. What a great sales tactic. It was just an all around strange experience. The items were all fine - not my style, but reasonably someone else's. There's a spring-loaded bracelet that I was almost tempted by, but my goal was to just get out of the establishment. Make sure to only show up if you're flashing designer items or ooze generational wealth out of your pores. Otherwise, based on another review I read and my own personal opinion, you'll be Pretty Woman'd.

I really enjoy chatting with her I see some one star reviews here that are only based on how they perceived their children being treated. This is not a children's store. I appreciate the efforts of staff to protect the inventory. Part of the lesson for our children is to respect that others may have different rules and boundaries, and that we need to respect them. We can also be a good example for our kids when we take responsibility for a mistake rather than get defensive and lash out.

Absolutely appalling. I planned on purchasing pod jewelry and my children were very excited about the wooden bookmarks and little secret wood box at the front of the store-that I'm sure you have to draw children in to bring in their parents. I told my children, make sure to only touch these items. They were VERY well behaved and the employee was huffing and puffing AUDIBLY and giving AWFUL looks to my children. So awful that within the five seconds I was in there I said are we bothering you? Would you like us to leave? She huffed and puffed more and said well this is a jewelry store. A palling and offensive, I will make sure that we, and anyone we know, will never set foot in the store again.
