She offers jewelry items at various price points, including even jewels for the high-end market. Jewelry repair is offered, too. She always backs the quality of her work. There's never a charge for making adjustments to purchased items. What is most unusual about her demeanor is her ability to work with her customers to determine their purpose/desire for jewelry.

My fiancé ended up buying a Johnnie-O button down that was advertised as 30% off. When we got home, he decided to look at the Johnnie-O website because he loved the shirt so much and wanted to order more. We were shocked and disappointed to see that the original price of the shirt straight from Johnnie O was less than what we paid at Southern Way WITH 30% off ($95 on sale at the store ($125 regular) versus $80 full price from the brand site). It's extremely disappointing that a local store is marking up their clothing that much. We spend a lot of time in Highlands as we have family in Lake Toxaway, but we will not return to Southern Way after this incident.
