We bought the midsize sluicing bag and split it between our two boys. There were so many gemstones in it! (almost not enough sand though) and the sluicing set up was really nice. Fun affordable summer activity for the kids. The store itself was clean and well organized, and it's always fun to see what cool rocks, gemstones and items of interest unique stores like this have stocked. I'm sure we will be back to sluice again at some point in the future!

The mining sluices are part of the Heritage Museum. It was really cool with bits of information about the history of the whole Luray area, from pre-historic, to the pre-colonial, to today. Sadly, we showed up about 10 minutes until close, so they encouraged us to move towards the mining sluices and we were able to operate the sluices after the shop and museum closed. So we bought our bags (for a reasonable price) and got to sluicing! A small bag per child was perfect. The kids got through everything in 5 minutes and then had their pretty clean gems to take home. A perfect amount of time for the kids and little prizes to take home. Definitely don't sleep on coming here!

I've seen gem sluices other places, like Myrtle Beach, but never understood the appeal. We were traveling with a 7-year-old this time and his mom really wanted him to experience it. I remained unconvinced until his father started to help him pour the sand into the sieve and the geodes started to appear. Jeremy has recently embraced his love of amethyst and had just bought a geode at the gift shop at the caverns for some crazy amount of money ($65). Our 7-year-old friend came away with one on his first batch, which was nowhere near what Jeremy had spent. Lesson learned, I'm doing the gem mining first, if Jeremy ever starts talking about expanding his rock collection. Our friend also came away with a variety of other gemstones and some sharks teeth. In his second batch of sand, he got another amethyst and the most gorgeous white quartz geode I have ever seen. It was such a fun experience. NOW I understand the appeal. Would recommend.

I found the Moon Water booth while wandering around the Factory Antique Mall and fell in love with…read moreeverything in the booth. I had a hard time deciding what to buy. I finally decided on this small moon wreath and now I regret not buying more as gifts for friends and family. This was my first time at this antique shop and I live 2 hours away but I'm sure I'll be making more trips specifically to buy from Moon Water. I'm also guessing it's a popular booth because the cashiers immediately said "that's from Moon Water" when I laid it on the counter. I only wish there was a way to buy online but I haven't found anything yet.

At first, my husband stood outside with the dogs while I browsed. Everyone greeted me upon entry and Linda came over to see if she could assist. I explained what I was looking for and she showed me some items in the store. We talked about pros and cons of a few options, then Linda presented an alternative, which she showed me online since it was at one of their other stores. I immediately loved the alternative, so I was going to go out and hold the dogs so my husband could look. Linda had us bring our pups in so both of us could look and talk. Folks in the store were very welcoming to the dogs and even keep dog treats on hand. But anyway, my husband liked Linda's suggestion as well. We went with the idea and she assured us that the jeweler would make everything fit perfectly. In essence, we had a three stone setting put onto a different band so that the ring would set flush against my wedding band. Richard did a fantastic job. I absolutely love my three stone ring. It turned out better than I could have imagined. It was also completed as promised, within a week. I couldn't be happier. Overall, it was the perfect experience. If you are in the market for jewelry or in need of a jewelry repair, you should visit Keller & George. Thanks again, Linda and Richard.

Update: After posting my review, the store manager called to offer a re-repair of my engagement…read morering. However, I have already had the repairs done elsewhere (as stated in my review) due to valid concerns over work quality. During the call, it was made clear that because the mistakes were fixed elsewhere, they would not be taking any further steps to make the situation right. This was a problem they created as what should have been a straightforward repair turned into significant damage that forced me to take matters into my own hands and seek repairs with another jeweler. While I appreciated the follow-up, it is clear that the situation will not be made right. Original review: I'm extremely disappointed in my recent experience with Schwarzschild Keller & George Jewelers. I brought in my engagement ring on June 20 for what should have been a simple and routine prong re-tipping, quoted at $100. When I finally picked it up on July 11 (after delays), the ring looked nothing like the one I had entrusted to them: the prongs were uneven, the center stone was crooked, there were visible solder marks, and the craftsmanship was shockingly poor. I was told the work would be redone at no charge, but the damage to my ring and the quality of the first repair made me uncomfortable entrusting it to them again. A second jeweler has since confirmed that the entire head of the ring now needs to be rebuilt, at a cost of $375, damage that would not have occurred had the original work been done properly. I first contacted Keith directly on July 16 to try and resolve this, and then submitted a message via the "Contact Us" form on their website on July 21 (which states someone will respond within 48 hours). As of today, I have received no response at all. The lack of accountability and total silence from the store is unacceptable. I now have to spend nearly four times the original estimate to fix damage caused by their own poor workmanship. I would not recommend this jeweler based on my experience.
