Their signage doesn't accurately reflect everything they do there. Jim did amazing repair work and restored elements of my ring (add back in worn off milgrain) that other shops said they couldn't. He had them done by the next day and was super reasonably priced. Seriously, highly recommended.

I finally got my chance when my hair appointment was later in the day and I was so excited to stop in after I was done. This is a wonderfully eclectic shop that has something for all your possible gift needs. And frankly it's very likely that you will find something that speaks to your heart or needs too.

There are baby onesies and dish towels, revisable bow ties, and every style of hand crafted jewelry your heart could desire. The service is absolutely extraordinary. Paula was there both times I went there and she was helpful without making you feel pressured in any way. She had great suggestions, and was very patient. But also very knowledgeable about her stock and where items where and what pieces I might like to put together to make a set. This shop checks all the boxes. Women owned business. Sells all kinds of local artisans crafts. Excellent customer service. Beautifies the neighborhood. It's really well worth an afternoon drive in from the strip plazas in the suburbs to spend some time shopping for truly special and unique jewelry or art and maybe have a bite to eat at one of the neighboring restaurants.

The ring fits perfectly, is very high quality and appraised slightly above what I paid for it - so, Aurum's pricing is very fair and reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another piece from Paul and his team.
