I received a notice about this estate event and it prompted me to inform people about what happened…read moreto me at State St. Jewelers. In June 2023 the diamond fell out of my engagement ring. I took it into State Street Jewelers along with my other heirloom antique family ring. I was having trouble with the antique ring staying stones up because the their weight of the stones and the atrophy of my finger. They showed me various ways of correcting the problem with their best suggestion being the setting that opens like a claim shell with an instrument that opens the setting in half. I was told I needed one new diamond in the antique ring because one was chipped in addition to the new setting to keep the ring from rolling under to the palm of my hand. I also elected to upgrade my wedding band from a band with diamonds going 3/4 of the way around to a full eternity ring with larger diamonds. With the larger diamonds, it was too much to continue to wear all three rings on on one finger so I opted to have my engagement stone placed in an earring setting and bought an addition stone that was the closest stone to match. We pay a lot of money for the new setting, the replacement stone for one that I was told was damaged, a new eternity band with more diamonds, an additional diamond to match my engagement diamond and then to have both of those made into earrings. After all was done and delivered I was happy with the looks. The earring were fine and the eternity ring was fine, Unfortunately, after only wearing the antique ring for a short period of time the clam shell setting popped open for no reason. When it popped open my ring fell off. Fortunately it fell in the car and I was able to locate it. I took it in and they adjusted it. Then it happened again. I took it in again. All of these incidents happened in a short period of time after receiving the ring. I felt that the setting was defective but State Street insisted on doing minor adjustments and returning it to me. In October we moved from Greensboro to Maryland. After arriving the same problem continued to persist with the clam shell popping open with no cause or reason. I contacted State Street and let them no about the issue. I was told that I would have to return to Greensboro to have anything done to fix the ring because they would need to have my finger. I am not driving 7 hours to have them fix a ring that I was having problems with before we left. I continued to wear it a short time after arriving in Maryland until the frequently in which it opened on it's own made it too risky and I have not worn my ring for a year. I am very disappointed that with the amount of money we spent and the problems I had right after receiving the ring. Their only solution was for me to return personally to Greensboro. The setting was clearly defective and should have been replaced after the second time it popped open. All the money we paid to State Street jeweler and I am going to have to pay for a new band here in Maryland. A band that was clearly defective from the start. So think twice about doing business with State Street unless you are absolutely sure you will never be leaving Greensboro. I got a defective band and now the cost of replacing that is going to be on me. To say I am disappointed and unhappy is putting it mildly.

I can't say enough good things about Jewelry Appraisals of NC!!!!…read more I called to ask if I needed an appointment and although she said I did she fit me in that day. She asked what I needed appraised and what I was looking to get out of the appointment. I was very clear with her on the phone that I was looking to authenticate a piece I bought online and that I would not be getting paperwork. Which means the appraisal is free. They only charge if you want paperwork to insure the item. I was a little hesitant because everywhere else wanted to charge just to look at the piece. But I went in and Karen was amazing! She looked at the piece thoroughly with several pieces of equipment and went to ask her other appraiser to double check her thoughts. She didn't even ask me what I paid for the item until after she gave me all her findings and thoughts. So I know she wasn't just telling me what I wanted to hear. (A little background... I brought in an antique camphor glass necklace. The value of it is in its age and detail not so much the material. It is really valued more as a piece of art then a piece of jewelry. Because if you scrapped it the materials would be worth very little). She was spot on what I paid for it. So I was relieved that I didn't over pay. Especially understanding that a piece like I had the value is a bit subjective. And even though Karen knew she wasn't going to make a penny she took all the time in the world to answer every last question I had very thoroughly. She even took the time to give a look at my vintage engagement ring and talk about that. She gave me estimates to fix some things and was not pushy at all. And the price to fix the items was pennies . Furthermore, had I wanted a written appraisal their prices are very low compared to other jewelry stores. And here is the thing folks. They are APPRAISERS. This is what they do!!! Not a side hustle for a jewelry store, this is what they dedicate there knowledge to!!! I will forever be taking all my pieces to Karen and Jewelry Appraisers of NC for appraisals and repairs and I suggest you all do the same!!!!!

LONG REVIEW BUT PLEASE READ: Do not, and I repeat DO NOT... take yourself, a friend, your child, or…read moreanyone to get an ear piercing or any kind of piercing for that matter at claire's. This review is not to slander friendly's claire's or it's employees, or any claire's for that matter. However, this is to bring awareness. I went to get a lobe piercing at claire's roughly two weeks ago. Pretty mild piercing if you ask me. I knew claire's was known for providing ear piercings and I've seen everyone from infants to older people getting them done there. The first week of having my piercing, things went as normal, I was using THEIR solution, and thought my ears were healing. The start of week two I noticed a little bit of clearish/opaque discharge around the piercing but again, thought nothing of it, Piercings are known to leak and get crusty as they are healing! later into the week things got worse, I noticed some swelling in the tissue right behind my ear kind of close to my jaws, I also noticed my piercings felt a lot more painful than they had before. I woke up one morning and noticed my left ear was in a lot of pain. When I looked in the mirror my earring was not even visible anymore. My ear literally started embedding the jewelry. I went to a legitimate piercer as soon as I could. She told me that if I had waited a few days later to come in, my piercings would have had to been surgically removed due to complete embedding and I would have gotten a very serious infection. After she removed my earrings, she showed me my earring holes and they are shredded due to the jewelry being embedded. She said it will take some time but eventually they will heal. PLEASE CONTINUE: these are the red flags I experienced that shouldn't be ignored! 1. DO NOT GET PIERCED WITH A GUN (it's just blunt trauma to your ear, and it creates iconsistent hole sizes that might not be suitable for jewelry.) if you or your child are not old enough to get pierced professionally, maybe reconsider if you/they need one at all! 2. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR: Trying to avoid spending a little extra for quality jewelry and service was the wrong move. The employee who again is not a professional piercer. She is a claire's employee... could not even get the back to stay on tight, so she had to keep fidgeting with my ear to ensure the earring was secure. (It in fact was night because it fell out that night...) the jewelry isn't great quality, and the cleaning solution they give you is terrible. If you do decide to get pierced at claires anyways... 3. PAY ATTENTION TO EXTREME DISCOMFORT: Yes, you may be sore a few days post piercing. Yes, you may notice a little bit of discharge. Both are normal. However, if you are noticing that it is very painful to touch, it's burning/warm, and your piercing is leaking a more yellowish discharge and bloody, please do not ignore, this could be evident of an infection. 4. PAY ATTENTION TO SWELLING IN FACE/JAWBONE AREA: I noticed days after my piercing that my jawbone felt puffy and tight. I thought this may be a result of my earring back poking the area while I'm sleeping. WRONG, these were in fact my lymph nodes becoming inflammed due to rising infection. 5. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO UNFAMILIAR SENSATIONS IN FACE/HEAD REGIONS: What made me urgently leave work early to go straight to a professional piercer is because I started getting these waves of *static* like sensations that would flush my face and head, coupled with the throbbing of my ear. I would also feel a slight pins and needle/static sensation in my jaw as well. This is literally another sign of infection. Infections in this region are particularly serious because it could spread to other parts like your mouth, neck, HEAD. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Luckily I got my earrings taken out just in time before infection really kicked in. But if you notice any of these things, and continue to wait it out, but then feel feverish, tired, or sick, I URGE YOU TO GO SEE A DOCTOR ASAP. If you read all of this, amazing! I'm sorry for it's length, but it is so important to make people aware of the risk associated with getting piercings from anyone/where that isn't a trained professional using a sterilized needle.
