    I've never sold my jewelry before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I picked this business because…read moreit is a five star and because the reviews were so good. I picked out three different places to go and decided to go to this one first as I made a route that was the easiest to follow. I was extremely impressed with his office. He does not go to a different room to weigh your gold. He does everything in front of you. It is also impeccably clean. Not a big office, but everything is done in front of you. I never like the idea of them taking your jewelry in the back room because you're never sure if you're getting your jewelry back if you decide you don't want to sell it. I had an idea of what it was worth and what I should get dealing with AI. I also want to mention meeting Stuart was a treat in itself. I did not realize you had to have a reservation.. Judy, the receptionist suggested I call him gave me his phone number and I did. He was wonderful and said he would be there in 15 minutes. I had a wonderful visit with him and he he seem to be a very nice man. I had no complaints either about the amount that he offered. It was a little bit less than what AI suggested, but all in all I never ended up going to the other places I decided to take his offer because he did everything in front of me. Because everything was so impeccably clean. And because Stuart was so accommodating to me. I didn't think anybody would ever go over the amount AI suggested anyway so I took the offer.

They suggested I have it assessed with their goldsmith and I agreed. When the assessment came back, the goldsmith said the entire head had to be replaced. The price: $600. I took my ring to a private jeweler/gemologist for another assessment. He looked at my ring and said the damaged prong could be repaired and the others were in good condition. The price for the repaired prong; $45. Fast forward 2024. I notice a different prong tip missing, take the same ring in for assessment & am told the tip was missing & another looked "weak". It is sent to the goldsmith and am told the entire head had to be replaced - again. Price: $600. I take the ring to Ambassador and am told repair of the damaged prong & the weak prong would be $60. Total replacement of entire head $140. Work complete in 7 days. I'm not certain as to why the vast difference in cost. Ambassador has a 5 star review and friendly service. I try to bring business to family owned establishments, but I'm not returning to this one. Perhaps Thigpen should consider using a repair service with more reasonable prices. A Google search will reveal the average cost of repair of a prong is $45-$75.

    What started as one of the most frustrating retail experiences we've ever had ultimately turned…read moreinto a reminder of how one outstanding employee can completely restore faith in a brand despite serious shortcomings in management. We visited the Tiffany & Co. in Scottsdale, AZ two days before Valentine's Day. We selected a bracelet we loved, but were told they didn't have the correct size in stock. The sales associate offered to order it and gave us her card. The next day, unaware of that conversation, we returned to purchase the bracelet as a surprise. The same associate sold us the bracelet they had in stock, assuring us it was the correct size... but it was not. On Valentine's Day, in front of family at dinner, I tried to put it on... and it didn't fit!! The embarrassment and disappointment were overwhelming, especially knowing the associate had been aware it wasn't the right size. The following day, we went to the Tiffany & Co. location in Tucson, AZ to resolve the issue. The manager we spoke with was disengaged, offered little empathy, and showed no ownership of the situation. She didn't even make eye contact. When she recognized the associate from Scottsdale, her only comment was, "Oh, she used to work here, she's very nice." This completely disregarded the money we had spent, the ruined celebration, and the frustration we were experiencing. Then Max stepped in. Max listened with genuine concern, acknowledged our frustration, and assured us he would personally make it right. He handled the exchange and promised to secure the correct size. Nearly two weeks later, he called to let us know it had arrived. Due to scheduling conflicts, we picked it up while Max wasn't working and unfortunately, the same manager mistakenly gave us the EXCAT SAME INCORRECT SIZE again, failing to pay attention to detail or confirm the order. At that point, we were beyond frustrated and seriously considering returning not only the bracelet, but also the matching necklace we had purchased. The thought of walking away from the brand entirely was very real. But Max didn't let that happen. He personally apologized for the continued mix-up, wrote a handwritten note explaining the mistake, and followed up two days later with flowers and a message about "turning over a new leaf," asking for the opportunity to give Tiffany's another chance. That level of accountability, empathy, and follow-through is rare. This review is not positive because of management. It's positive because of Max.... He demonstrated what true client care looks like! The ownership without excuses, thoughtful gestures without prompting, and a genuine desire to rebuild trust. He consistently steps in to address issues and provide the leadership that the manager has failed to demonstrate. It's because of Max that the store maintains its reputation and that we are giving Tiffany another chance. Because of Max, we were reminded that exceptional service still exists. Thank you, Max! You truly make a difference and are a shining example of leadership and excellence for the Tiffany brand!
