    We have always trusted Todd with our jewelry business. We have also referred many friends and…read morefamily to them as well. All had a positive experience and ended up purchasing their engagement rings from Gold'n Treasures. Even with Todd gone, we will continue to who do our business there. Because all the staff have become like family to us.

    This review contains two stories: One of them is about jewelry, and the other is about *my*…read morejewelry. Shall we start with my jewelry? Yes, let's do that. My engagement ring has been perched on my hand ~24/7 for the last ~3 years, and OH MY GOD I LOVE IT. I just bloody well love it. This ring is the best insurance my partner ever bought -- even when I am ready to run (not walk!) back to singledom, I think, "But I can't get divorced; I have this absolutely perfect ring pair." (I mean, I'm sure people still wear their wedding+engagement rings after getting unmarried, but it seems like maybe that would be weird?) Todd has a whole process for helping people find an engagement ring, and it's... very chill. Very, very chill. This is not -- not upon NOT -- the kind of thing where you walk into a mall & some person with a Muppet-level fake smile says a bunch of clichéd BS while trying to upsell you some overpriced piece that they swear you can afford on their secretly 30% APR credit card. Nope. Gold'n Treasures is run on *relationships.* This is the most delightful & delightfully human jewelry-buying experience you will ever have. This is like... you walk in. Todd, who clearly loves people (but in a laid-back way that's still comfortable for introverts -- will vouch!), says hello, offers you your choice of beverage, and welcomes you to his back room studio, where he has not one, but several, towers of trays of example rings. And whooo-boy, he's got EVERYTHING. You want classic? Got it. Modern? Got it. Looks like an antique? Yup. Looks like a Calder sculpture? Uh-huh. Simple? Absolutely. Batshit crazy giant grandma rings that take up half your finger? In spades! You weren't looking for diamonds? He's got a whole array of Sharpies for you to recolor the example rings to your liking. And Todd is *not* in a hurry. "Play!" he says. "Have fun!" he encourages. Oh, you brought your toddler with you? She gets a beverage & is also welcome to play with the example rings. This place is magic. I spent a semi-forever going through example rings, & had selected about a dozen candidates... and Todd sent me home with homework! He gave me a URL & said, look through these, let me know what jumps out at you. I clicked & clicked & clicked, & emailed Todd with at least a half-dozen additional candidates. He said he'd order those models, and we set another appointment time. But here's the best & most amazing part: This whole time, I was more-or-less looking for a ring that I liked well enough that my partner also liked. We have *radically* different tastes, and I have a long history of pathological people-pleasing; I guess, on some unconscious level, I felt like the tastes & opinions of the person purchasing the ring were more important than the tastes & opinions of the person who was actually going to wear the ring. I liked something about each of the rings I'd identified for Todd, and also they were all compromise designs. Somehow -- and reader, truly I have no idea how, other than perhaps by being a second- or third-generation jeweler -- Todd sorted through a pile of gold, diamonds, & red herrings to find EXACTLY the right-for-me ring. We're sitting in that bright, sunny showroom, drinking coffee & champagne (respectively), and what we think we're doing is coming to see 18-someodd model rings & color them all in and deliberate all day. Todd says casually, "Oh hey, we just got some new rings in -- I want to show you something." And he comes back with The Ring. It's so absolutely perfect that I don't even bother to contain my enthusiasm. Todd hands me the Sharpies. I doctor up the model. Having now seen this thing, I am done with compromising. And just like that, Todd gets on his computer & finds the right kind of stone in the right color in the right size for my setting, and somehow manages to bring it all in under the $number my partner had quoted for a budget. (And then we bought some wedding bands.) This, finally, is Story #2. There are two ways to run a jewelry business: one is where you take every customer for as much as you can get (because you've got high overhead & you know like 1/3 of them are going to default on those credit cards), and the other is the relationship model -- where you get to know people, and where they keep coming back to you (and bringing their friends & family) because you're just that awesome. Case in point: My family's been buying jewelry from Todd for 35 years, & I didn't live anywhere near the Twin Cities when all of this was happening. There's still nowhere else I would have gone to look for a ring, & nowhere else I would have found *this* ring. And yes, I'll be back. :)

    *******SEVEN STAR REVIEW!!!!!!! Zanetta is beyond…read moreawesome!!!!!!! Zanetta is an absolute total pro with perfect phone, listening and leadership skills!!!!!!! I recently purchased the new Hamilton Ventura Chrono 'Blue Suede Shoes' Elvis Presley tribute watch from Zanetta and I love it. It's Original Art Deco Retro at its finest. Zanetta went above and beyond for me and she executed everything to perfection. Zanetta is exceedingly efficient and she provided me with the absolute highest level of customer care. Zanetta stands at the highest level of trust with me. Her good relations with Hamilton is also of immense value. I appreciate everything about Zanetta. She is 100% perfect. This is the first and probably the only Seven Star Review that I shall write. Zanetta is apex pinnacle top talent!!!!!!! Zanetta reflects notably upon Timescape!!!!!!! Promote now!!!!!!! Thanks again!!!!!!! VRS "JJ" (GySgt USMC Ret.) The Ventura and the Ventura 'Blue Suede Shoes' Elvis Presley tribute watch collection has a fascinating and storied history. The collection was inspired by Elvis' hit single 'Blue Suede Shoes', the first song on the artist's self-titled debut record, released in 1956. Hamilton says Presley was a dedicated fan of the Ventura from its debut. The "King of Rock and Roll" famously wore the watch in the 1961 movie, Blue Hawaii. The Ventura tribute watch has a blue dial face and a blue suede/alcantara wrist strap (see my photo). The Ventura was the first ever electric watch in 1957. The Hamilton Ventura, the Ventura Chrono and the Ventura XXL (black dial face/black wrist strap) have all played starring roles in every MIB (Men In Black) movie. The Ventura Chrono has a jeweled movement with 23 jewels (rubies), 4 complications, 3 mini-dials and a date window. It's an exceptionally well engineered and super accurate timepiece!!!!!!!

    I went to TimeScape for the first time today with a couple of needs for different watches…read more My biggest ask was needing someone to investigate if I needed a new movement -- I brought the same watch to a different vendor at MOA a few months ago.... They told me I needed a new movement which would cost me $200 and take 2 months to get the parts and repair it.... Well, long story short, TimeScape was able to diagnose the issue in 5 minutes and all it cost me was $20 for a replacement battery! Overall, the folks at TimeScape were very friendly and obviously provided fair/honest service for my watches. I'm definitely coming back for my future watch repairs!
