Four months later,January 20, 2012 I still hear Theresa say "the parts are coming in today" When I told her no, I want my clock back, you have been telling me for 4 months the parts are coming in. She responded ok you can pick it up as it is, it is all apart in pieces. The image of my trying to put the clock back together was frightening. I told her no, I want it back in the condition I gave it to you. She said you can pick it up this afternoon. Well I got my clock back IN PIECES plus monetary compensation for the mess. Satisfied that I received some compensation, but not satisfied that I was deceived over 4months and that the clock which had been in my family for over 40 years is now a bag of parts. Do not recommend this place at all!

I bought a custom engagement ring from Michael and he guided me through everything seamlessly. He provided helpful information regarding what metal for the band, the cut, clarity, color and even carat size of the diamond. The difference between Michael and other jewelry stores is he cares about each customers unique reasoning for coming into the store. You can feel that each time you speak with him. I returned a second time to have an earring made into a ring that had sentimental value. After he showed us our options and we received the ring, we were blown away! It was more than what my fiancé and I could have dreamed of.

He raved about Michael and I took the 40 or so minute drive from Newington to begin the process. Michael was absolutely amazing during the entire shopping and purchasing of the ring. His patience showed and he wanted to make sure the diamond I chose was exactly what I wanted and within my budget. Once I moved on to the setting I chose a spectacular Simon G setting. I told him that rose gold was a must, but not just any rose gold. The color could not be too orange or yellow. We discussed this with the manufacturer and he assured me the risk of getting it the exact color without dipping it was worth it. Michael delivered BIG TIME. The ring is absolutely beautiful and my gf, now fiancé, is absolutely in love with it. It's the dream ring she didn't know she wanted. Thank you to Michael and his entire staff. From a avid reviewer - please choose Michael for your next engagement ring and/or fine jewelry. You will get quality jewelry with customer service to match!

The owner identified the ring, (simple 14k ring with a few diamonds,) noted its features, and quickly gave me a price. Minutes later I was out the door with my cash - and satisfied with the price paid. I would definitely recommend this business if you: - Have a piece of jewelry you would like valued. - Would like more money than other gold traders. - Enjoy a riveting debate on the merits, and nature of golf. - Are looking for a decent establishment in Springfield to buy jewelry. Not to be disparaging, but I had first stopped at Gold Trader: Not only was the offer price 35% lower - the employee told me the diamonds in the ring were not real. Needless to say I sought a second opinion, and I am very happy I did so. Would recommend to friends and family. Will be returning myself. Thank you!

Over…read morethese years, 2 of these watches experienced problems I had initially chalked up to wear and tear. Watches do not last forever, necessarily. I had a Fossil watch I've owned for probably 3 years. in 2011, I took it in because I guessed the battery had died. I was told when they changed the battery, that it did not work anymore. No further explanation could be given. I had a Diesel watch I owned for probably 5 years. In 2009, I took it in for the same reason. This watch takes multiple batteries for different reasons. When the one for the time went out, I asked them to replace the one for the date also -- it had stopped working a few months prior. I was told that the date function no longer worked. I moved away from that area and took these 2 watches to a local jeweler this afternoon, just to see what could be done. I like the watches and really can't afford to buy new ones. He opened the watches in front of me and showed me what these people did. On the Fossil, the bottom battery connector was completely missing out of the watch and the gasket on the back cover was gone. I may as well throw the thing out. It hasn't worked since last year and there's no way anyone there is going to acknowledge they ruined it, much less worked on it months ago. I don't like that they KNEW why the watch didn't work and it was most likely their own fault because they possibly carelessly removed the old battery and ripped the connector out with it. On the Diesel, the employee somehow managed to stick a battery on top of the top battery connector... meaning, it wasn't even attached to the watch. It needed to be placed between the two connectors and here, clearly, they forced it to sit on top of the fitting. The readout actually works and the battery sat awkwardly in the wrong position for THREE other battery changes. Nobody noticed the error all that time. Unfortunately, it hadn't worked since 2009 and I had to ask the jeweler to program it since I hadn't the slightest idea anymore. I'll be contacting the store manager or owner on this problem. I'm really upset about their neglience and lack of education to do something they should be able to do routinely. Again, I don't expect anything out of it because I have no proof because when the watch didn't work, I didn't pay -- therefore didn't receive a receipt. But, he or she should be aware. So should you.
