DO NOT GO HERE they scammed me!…read more I was recommended by a friend to buy jewelry from here while I was in Seattle. I was told I was getting VS1 diamond earrings and was happy at first. Then recently my backing of my earrings kept falling out so I went to my personal jeweler back home and he told me it was actually SI diamonds. He personally showed me all the imperfections (clouds) in my diamond - SO MANY FLAWS, it was so embarrassing. THIS JEWELRY STORE NOT ONLY OVERCHARGED ME THINKING I WAS GETTING A VS1 DIAMOND EARRINGS BUT THEY LIED TO ME ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE DIAMONDS. Save your time and actually go to a jewelry store that doesn't lie/ scams you.

I stand by my review…read more You say you never cleaned the jewelry and never charged me, yet in person I was told there would be a $25 fee for "cleaning" after you were only supposed to provide me with an estimate. I did not request any cleaning service nor was I informed in advance of this. I came in for an estimate only. Even you seem to agree in your response that it would make no sense to clean something someone is trying to sell - which is exactly why being told I had to pay for it was so shocking. This has nothing to do with being unhappy about a lower offer. I went to another establishment the same day and received a significantly different experience and pricing without any surprise services or pressure tactics. I have no reason to fabricate what happened. I simply shared my honest experience so others can make informed decisions.

Many visitors and shoppers tend to have an emotional connection to Kobo, formerly known as Higo. I…read moream one of those people who calls it Higo, before I will remember it is in fact Kobo now. Higo is the original shop owned and run by the Murakami family. This is one of the few businesses that survived the Executive Order 9066 written in 1942 with thanks to the non-Japanese friends of the family who owned businesses in the same building. Today, Kobo represents a new generation of local artists, selling gift items, crafts, tees, books, art, jewelry, and much more at varying level of prices. I highly recommend Kobo when shopping for unique gifts. When I recently visited, they had a glass artwork on display, art gallery style. It was also the yearly Nihonmachi celebration, and they had a table outside with an artist painting one of three designs on classic Japanese windchimes. I was thrilled to buy one of these adorable windchimes commonly featured in anime including Studio Ghibli movies.

My mother picked up a really fun t-shirt from KOBO, and I found various gifts - including the Mari Ichimasu (a Seattle-based Japanese artist who works in stop-motion animation, painting, and drawing) book "Fur Coats & Backpacks", which includes the art of her collection of traveling cats & an accompanying poem for each cat. The perfect gift for my feline-loving friends. The staff were happy to let you browse through the store, and you can tell that they work to include items from the local art and design community while also carrying items with wider appeal. The prices may be a bit high? But I was less concerned with the cost of the items than I was on finding quality gifts - and KOBO has those in spades. I'd certainly recommend a visit.

They are the original jewelry store prior to everyone else. I have been doing business with them since 2006 after my fallout with another jewelry store in close proximity, who I was doing business for decades. I regret not doing business with this place originally. In my experience i would like to inform every yelper that if you are looking to buy gold for personal use or investment, Their Gold is almost as pure as a gold u.s. minted coin.....Please keep in mind i said ' almost ' There are other unique pieces besides gold and most ladies and men will quite frankly have a nice selection. They can even custom make any jewelry piece if you desire as well. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Why not try here first, prior to the other big establishments, i am sure you will get a better stone at a much much better price. As you get buzzed in you will see a cute quiet old lady who have done business here in China Town for so many decades and had one simple philosophy. Treat customers right. Treat customers with honesty. Give customers the best deal possible and still stay in business. Yelpers I am slow to let you guys all know mainly because i wanted to ensure that I will be sending you to the best of the best. Of course i also wanted to keep this place a secret for myself. Yelp didnt exist til recently so there was no way for me to let anyone know vastly anyways. I hope you will heed my mistakes and learn from them just as i did. I hope you will cherish this place like I do. I hope that you will find something beautiful to bring home one day.

We arrived and were introduced the selection of bracelets, ranging from $65 all the way to $400. The add-ons include a variety of gemstones, diamonds, and dangle letters. My friend and I each chose the 2.2mm curb chain in silver ($80) with an 3mm 14k white gold gemstone ($100) for our bracelets. Once you choose the bracelets, it's a super quick process for them to zap it on. I had a great experience with our associate and she was super friendly and helpful, but I have to admit, this is a pricey experience for sure.

We walked in thinking we could just get bracelets same day, we were very wrong. They were so booked out because of the new rush, that we had to schedule out online, which was a little tough with our schedules. We walked in and there wasn't anyone there, but we were still turned away, which was a bummer since we drove quite a way for this, but I'm sure they have to turn a lot of people away to respect those with appointments. I went in knowing which chain I wanted, until I tried them on in person. There were so many great ones to choose from, especially when my boyfriend noticed the person who was helping us on had a black chain, which was not one of the options presented, and he told us we could oxidize the silver chain options to make them black. So not only are there silver, rose gold and yellow gold options, but there is the hidden oxidized silver (black) option! I could tell my boyfriend wasn't 100% happy with the chain choices, until they happily offered to oxidize his, and now he loves his chain! I went with a very dainty chain, which is very much my style, and we wanted to test it out to see what it was like not being able to remove something. But now I think I want more
