I looked at it and did not see a price on the item. I decided to leave and then I met Simon on the way out. He asked if anything interested me. I asked him if he could let me know the price of the amethyst. He opened the cabinet and let me look at the piece. He said for you ... it's $$$. He was funny and full of character. The price was okay. The service was great. A short conversation later, I decided to pick it up. The store has a treasure trove type vibe. Full of antiques and interesting items for sale. Most items do not have prices on them so buyer beware. You need to have some knowledge of what you will pay for items before you enter. I believe I purchased my item at a fair price. 50% off after Christmas sale Purchased a heart shaped Brazilian amethyst at a good price! Nice personal service and experience here.

I had my wedding ring designed over 3 visits with Dan Trudeau following recommendations from…read morefriends and family and I still cannot believe how smooth everything went! I was not sure what I was getting myself into or what I even wanted, but knew it would be non traditional and unique. He spent time looking at my inspiration pics and "pulled me out of the ether," regarding what was and was not feasible. Was able to use a diamond from each of my grandmothers' wedding rings. He was transparent about the cost throughout, provided education on different jewels with thoughtfulness around important specifics I would not know to ask about; ease of cleaning, shades of gold, size of my hand, finger webbing, how settings and light will impact my choices, factors that influence longevity and maintenance. He was mindful to not insert his opinion outside of the structural capacity of my ideas, despite my requests. He searched and found different stones for me to see in person, much faster than I imagined was possible. At The final appt before the ring was built, he created wax version of the ring. I was initially concerned due to size/bulkiness, though he walked me through the details of how it would look differently upon completion which put me at ease. The ring was created with subtle details that he learned through our appointments about me; he specifically balanced diamonds on the band to support straight alignment in relation to my specific finger webbing (with only measuring my ring size and eyeballing my hand), "you can go rock climbing in this thing." Overall, this was a special experience I shared with my mother and finance in my home town. I will return for cleanings and highly recommend this place. My mother also had multiple items resized and repaired with prompt and beautiful results. The entire staff was kind and personable. They engaged intermittently along the way with their past personal and professional experience with different stones, designs, jewelers... After our first visit, I was just not sure if I was on the right track in part due to my severe indecisiveness, but all visits after that confirmed this was the right place to be and I am in love with the result. My fiancé was also pleased and appreciated the level of involvement that was asked of him, lol.

I recently sold several gold items here, including a 14k hunter case pocket watch…read more During the evaluation, the items were taken out of view and I was not shown individual weights or a clear breakdown of how the value was determined. The watch, which had multiple gold components including an inner cover, was discussed but ultimately folded into the overall estimate without being separately accounted for. The explanation given for its lower value focused on a "broken crystal," which does not materially affect the scrap value of a gold case, where weight and karat are the primary factors. I was paid approximately $400 for the watch. Without seeing weights or a transparent calculation, I've since found it difficult to reconcile that figure with what a multi-component 14k gold case would reasonably represent. I would strongly recommend that anyone selling gold ask to see weights and a clear breakdown before agreeing to a final price.

I am considering selling a couple of pieces of gold jewelry and was hoping to get estimates. I also have a ring that needs to be reshaped and possibly resized, and a necklace I want shortened. The jewelry was inspected but not weighed, and the price quoted was probably 1/4 of what I received from other places. They criticized the ring and initially told me it was chipped, which it was not, and said the time and cost to cut a simple gold chain would be high and take a long time. Based on the customer experience, I would never go back. Take your time and shop around, as there are a lot of better options, including The Gold Drop in San Rafael, and Prince in Sausalito, both of which excelled at customer service and provided much better pricing.
