When I wanted to compare one that I loved (that I ended up purchasing) with a band that wasn't in the case, she worked to creatively come up with a band that compared. Zoe was diligent in making sure I had all the facts and tried on a variety of styles to ensure I found my perfect ring without any pressure to buy. The rest of the staff was also friendly and accommodating. I will be returning to Ware Jewelers!

As a child some of my earliest memories in church was sitting between my grandparents and holding…read moremy grandmother's hand. She had a beautiful ring that I would look at while holding her hand. Papa had given it to her and if you knew my grandmother you might remember her ring. I called it a snowball dinner ring. When my mom passed away I inherited it. I wanted to wear it but already had another ring created with some of her jewelry. I had taken it to JBD to see what could be done with it. Immediately Tammy said make it into hoop earrings and match the center stone for studs. Mark did his magic and yesterday we picked them up. I'm so proud of his creation because now I can wear them. Thank you Tammy and Mark. Also including husband's ring that was created from his dad's rings.

While on the initial call, they sent me a rough draft of my ring fit, and it was nearly perfect. They're making a few extra tweaks now, but I know that this is gonna be all my dreams come true. My jeweler was very thorough and the course is nothing like I thought it would be to get a custom ring. They have amazing financing options and I'm so excited to be working with them!

The gals working were quite nice and helpful. The Local Market offers nifty classes and other events periodically; check out their website and social media for more info. I overheard that this shop will soon be relocating to its new home inside of J&M since this building will become luxury condos (side note: what isn't becoming condos?). I didn't have any intention of buying something for myself but ended up leaving with some jewelry, oops! If you've been to The Beehive in Atlanta, The Local Market reminds me a lot of it. Definitely stop by and check out what amazing stuff local creative types have to offer.

It had been almost two years since I had stopped by. I went back last week and immediately without giving my name or anything they recognized me and even remembered the item from years back and were excited to see me (and no it wasn't some expensive memorable item). If that doesn't show you that they actually care and are in business for the right reasons I don't know what will. They won't speak over you, try to push you to buy anything, or treat you unfairly. They are just simply amazing, do GREAT work, and have the most reasonable prices in town which is just icing on the cake. Love them and you won't regret taking my advice to stay away from everywhere else in the area :)

And the jewelry through out the store was delightful and make be want to look at jewelry, and I am not really into jewelry in that way, but it is just so pretty. Very professional.

After seeing a post on Facebook, their pictures looked interesting and I drove up from LaGrange to…read morecheck them out. Almost immediately after walking in, I saw two pieces of old sheet music that I wanted to buy - one for me and one for my sister. They were a bit overpriced at $29 each, but they were in good condition and both titles meant something to me. I walked through the store and looked around at other things, and as I was looking at some books in the front I couldn't help overhearing a conversation between the woman at the cash register and a couple of adult customers. They were joking about a display case holding such things as a Little Black Sambo book, and a 78 rpm record set "Tales of Uncle Remus". I understand that is their right to sell this merchandise. I used to own a copy of the Uncle Remus set myself, and I sold it. But that wasn't the point. The conversation that took place between these three people - joking about "what if certain people saw these things, they might set the store on fire", and the cashier made some racially insensitive remark about rewriting history. No one's asking anyone to rewrite history. But I will not spend my money in a store owned and operated by racists. Of course I guess most of their clientele is entitled old white people, and good for them. But this old white man decided not to spend the $58 on those two pieces of music, or the $55 on a metal shelf that would've been perfect for his loose sheet music, or the $225 on a piece of original artwork depicting Ignacy Jan Paderewski at the piano. (Their description said it was Poe, but they said they weren't sure. I don't think they were being misleading in their description.) What they *were* being is racist. And they lost my business. And they lost any of my future business.

My wife said that she would like to buy the books, but the woman said, "No, I can't sell them for that price" and put them back on the shelf.
