I did find some I liked and also a silver chain (sold by the foot). I've been looking for one forever. The owner was very helpful but distracted by a customer she was helping over the phone.

I absolutely love this store! They have 2 locations in this mall (kiosk on first level and store…read morefront on second level), however if you visit the company website you can find all their locations in various malls. I fell in love with the kiosk they had at my local mall years ago so when I saw this one at UTC, we just had to stop in to browse. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The store is very organized to browse and find a style that fits you. Each time I've bought something I do the browsing and if something speaks to me that's the one I get. My favorite is the biblical reminders because they help remind me that I am a child of God and to trust in Him and His Love in all I do and encounter in this earthly life. They offer many style (men's, women's, kids) bracelets with small reminders that you can wear on your wrist to inspire you throughout your day. The words on these bracelets are designed to encourage and motivate us to transform our reactions and improve our responses. They have different style beads and the pricing is based on the beads type you choose. The company believes if we each can sprinkle a little kindness, hope and love everyday, it will create a ripple effect of positivity around each of us that will change the world for good. I too love the company belief that this is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! Highly recommend stopping in to browse and help support this amazing company.

I was given two gift certificates for this shop. I had never been here before, but I had a great…read moreexperience! There is so much good stuff packed into this small little shop; it was a really fun browsing and each pass I saw something I hadn't seen the last time around. Monica was amazing at asking questions about my style and helping direct me to a section that might fit my style the best (and it did!). As more of a minimalist, I wasn't sure if I would find anything, but I did! I found a beautiful wooden tray, a faux orchid, decorative draping succulents, and a beautiful light pink satin top. The staff were always staying near by to help me grab something I liked that was up high or grab something from the back for me, and answer any questions so I didn't have to walk all the way to the front of the store to ask for help. They would offer to hold things for me if I ever found something I was considering so I didn't have to hold it while browsing (very helpful since my tray and orchid were both a handful). It helped me keep my hands free to continue looking. I definitely recommend this store for anyone who isn't sure what to buy someone as a gift, or if you know someone who is incredibly picky like myself, a gift card to this shop is definitely a great choice! I had such a great time browsing for something I loved.
