She and the owner, Judy, were both lovely. They let me try everything on and see how it looked outside in the natural light and waited patiently while I FaceTimed my friend. I appreciated that the owner was open to a little bargaining. I ended up getting 2 pairs of 14K gold gemstone studs, one Tanzanite and the other Peridot. Based on my quick online search, I think the price I paid was extremely fair.

Paloma was a pleasure to meet, had great suggestions and helped us try on anything we wanted. I ended up getting a beautiful pair of brass cat earrings that she designed herself. I came back the next day to buy some more beautiful pieces as gifts before I left town and was met with the same great suggestions and warm welcome from Rheta! She beautifully gift boxed the pieces I got for my parents & shared her favorite things to do in Mendocino with us. Everyone who works here has been so friendly and a delight to meet. Thank you! I can't recommend this store enough!

The gentleman who helped us was so knowledgeable and nice. I fell in love with the first ring I saw when I walked in, but he showed me so many more that I loved. In the end I know I got my truly favorite and it was a perfect gift, from a perfect shop in a perfect city that I love. This ring has already so much meaning to me! I hope it will become a family heirloom as I intend to give it to my daughter someday!!

Beautiful collection, but.... We recently bought a print, ordered a custom frame, and had it…read moreshipped. It just arrived and the frame is not the one we chose. Similar tone, but with a rough and dominating texture we would never have selected in a million years. Clashes with the refined print, compromising the entire piece. Perhaps the one we chose was unavailable and they substituted something else. Perhaps this seemed to them like a good solution rather than losing the sale entirely, as we live out of town and couldn't easily come in to make another selection, but we're crushed. We would much rather have received the print alone, with a refund for the frame that couldn't be provided.

I verified this, by asking both the thief, Walt Rush and the manager of the gallery, Lu Vickery. They both admitted that my designs were stolen. Copies of Granite Mountain Arts designs continue to be displayed in the gallery against copyright law. These are poorly replicated low quality baubles that are in no way associated with Alexandra Magnan or Granite Mountain Arts. I would not recommend patronizing a business that steals other artist's work. There is never an excuse for theft or lack of integrity.

Out of all the businesses I've visited in Mendocino that sells jewelry, Silver & Stone is probably…read morethe one with both the most affordable selection and also the largest selection. The stuff here probably won't bowl you over the way some of the more high-end, artsy pieces at the other stores will, but if you're not down with surrendering a lot of money on jewelry there is a wide array of gorgeous casual jewelry here and phalanxes of artsy silver rings. They also have a fairly good selection of men's bling as well, which I appreciate. If I hadn't blown all my money at the Gallery Bookshop (and at Papa Bear's Chocolate House *cough*) I'd've walked out with a ring or two.

It's a great place to browse and relax and appreciate fine works on a lazy day coastside. If I had to choose I'd say I preferred Highlight Gallery to Panache; the stuff Highlight showcases is far more contemporary, eclectic, and elegantly clean. Panache seems to favor a mix of artwork that is much more traditional, homey, and rustic - honestly a lot of stuff seemed dated. At Highlight there were at least a dozen things I wanted to purchase and take home, whereas at Panache I didn't really feel any pangs of desire. I enjoyed browsing and relaxing in both galleries, however.

In a recent first visit, I was just forming an impression that the merchandise lacked artistic subtlety when a strange scene unfolded. My wife and I watched in amazement as the salesperson (I presume the shop owner) badgered a customer who had left her dog and her husband outside, to bring the DOG into the store. The polite customer made repeated protests about problems with the size of the dog, its huge waging tail, its colon problems, etc., to which the saleswoman replied that she would pay for anything the dog broke. She went on to press her case by saying that it was CHILDREN she likes to keep out of the store, not dogs. She loudly confided just how she hated it when people had the audacity to bring their kids into her shop full of breakables. At this point, my wife and I walked out in disgust. Our children are now grown, but we spent many happy years and lots of dollars in Mendocino galleries, children in tow. If you are similarly encumbered, choose another shop.
