My fiance and I cannot rave enough about Luke! Luke made all the difference for us when engagement…read moreand wedding ring shopping. Prior to Perry's, we went to several other chain stores looking for a specific style of ring and setting. We knew from the get go that it would have to be specially made, but received virtually no help from other places. We were told to go online and pick a center stone from there. Dejected, we decided to quit for the day and try another day. If only we had known before we started the hunt that Perry's Emporium was the place to go! We walked in and were immediately greeted by a friendly woman at the front door who introduced us to Luke! It was easy to tell that he is passionate about his job and sincerely wanting to help his customers. Not only did he listen to us and what we wanted, but he was knowledgeable about their inventory. When a question about configuration came into play, he went and got one of their ring designers to come out and speak with us. He made sure to cover all of the bases. He ordered in a few different center stones for us to pick from and promptly called us when they arrived to see them in person. Fast foward to the proposal, and my ring could not be more beautiful! To add the cherry on top, Perry's sent my fiance and I a holiday cake as a thank you for purchasing with them. Any other jewelry purchaes we make while we live in North Carolina will not happen anywhere else. We truly feel part of the Perry's Emporium family! Thank you so much again, for making this once in a lifetime experience so memorable.

I went there today to purchase a piece of jewelry. The store wasn't crowded or very busy. I was…read morecompletely ignored by the staff. Not even a greeting when I came in. Some was standing around making small talk with friends/customers. I waited around for 10-15 minutes to look at some pieces. Another gentleman walked in, a salesperson immediately came up and talked to him, you know, like a typical salesperson is supposed to do. Hmmmmmm... Did that guy look like he had money and I didn't? (For the record, I could afford to buy half the store if I chose to.) Did they not see me because I was not a white, tall guy? Maybe. This being near the Landfill/Wrightsville areas, full of hoytie/toytie people, I wouldn't doubt it. Anyway, they lost a sale today and many future sales. This is not the way to run a business, though.

The owner and jeweler, Jayde, suggested to text pictures of the bracelet. He seemed confident he could make the repair, but would know more after seeing it in person. We drove an hour to have him look at it and he was able to fix it on the spot within minutes. The repair was done perfectly and she was extremely pleased and relieved. If Jayde took this much interest and care in an "inexpensive", but sentimental piece, I have no doubt in his attention to detail with much finer pieces. Definitely will be using his services in the future and would highly recommend!

All the stars go to the really nice lady. The salesman got negative zero stars. The GOOD- when I walked in there was a salesman, (tall guy), who was happily chatting to another couple. They were very friendly and kind to each other. There was a very kind older lady who was helping me. She did her best but she was not very familiar with sizing and repair estimates. Then the couple left. Sounds great right? Unfortunately, the vibe changed. The lady that was helping me asked him to help us. The Bad- The salesman came over to help us. Boy, totally different attitude. No smile. No eye contact. No thank you when I left no nothing. He did not make me feel like he was happy to help me as a potential customer. Lost my business. I want to feel like they are happy that I am there. Like the really nice ladies's attitude, hers was wonderful. Super fail on customer service from the sales man.
