Kindness comes from the heart. I needed a battery for my Luminox watch. I was pleased to find…read moreChandlee Jewelers was an authorized Luminox facility. Shortly after lunch (10/26/26 ) I walked into the store and was greeted like an old returning valued customer. It was my first visit. Battery was replaced in less than 15 minutes by a gentleman that took the extra time to polish the crystal and secure the watch back on my wrist. At 82 y/o with arthritis in both hands it is difficult for me to do this task. Word of mouth is the strongest form of recommendation or criticism for a business to receive. Something good happens to you tell 5 people something bad happens you tell 15. Bad news travels faster and further than good news. I strongly recommend you give Chandlee the opportunity to help you with any of your future jewelry needs. You will appreciate the kindness you are treated with. Stay well. MikeG

Used to be the best jewelry store in Athens. Customer service was top notch. They always stood…read morebehind anything they sold. As of July 2026, some other people have bought them out. They're still operating under the same name, but they are nothing like it's always been. One of the new owners said they would no longer offer their lifetime warranty. The woman was so ugly because they had to replace a clasp on a chain I had bought there. She said the chain wasn't purchased there and was gonna charge me over $160 to replace the clasp and clean it. When I went to pick it up, I showed her the receipt where I had purchased the chain there. She was not happy. She said they were not going to keep paying for these things.After 30+ years, I walked out for the last time. Such a shame.

I'm not sure why this is called Margo Sterling Silver; sterling silver appears to be just a…read moreminuscule part of the business in the store. Overall, based on what I saw in the store, this is a metaphysical business. I saw great looking handmade jewelry, knick knacks for the home, incense, tantra-related items, stones and other merchandise. A couple of the things that caught my eye because I have an interest in them are the crystals and sage. Margo has a big selection of stones and crystals. People burn sage (in a ritual called smudging) to clear away negativity. I've smudged my place a few times with a bundle of burning white sage, and I know it helped because I felt a calmness and contentment after I got done. Margo sells various types of sage that customers can smudge their spaces and their selves to eliminate negativity and increase positivity. I have also interest in crystals, of which Margo has a big selection. The two types of crystals that I have are black obsidian and clear quartz crystals, both of which have protective properties. One of clear quartz's benefits is enhancing mental clarity. It can help with emotional stability, and it's popular in meditation and restorative work. It's also often used for manifestation and can help create more focus and clarity around a desire. It is a protective stone and can be used to amplify psychic abilities. I have white quartz crystals near my front door to dispel any negative energies entering my home, and on my nightstand to amplify the effect of the black obsidian crystal that I keep near it. One of the most popular uses of black obsidian is to create a shield of protection to ward off negative or harmful energies. I wear a black obsidian bracelet to help absorb negativity that I may encounter. I also have black obsidian crystals in the four corners of my condo to help ward off negative and harmful energies. Does it work? I know they do. I like that throughout the store are handwritten descriptions and explanations either on or near the crystals. These are great for customers who are interested in incorporating crystals into their lives. However, customers who buy them should also learn how to use the crystals (the best placement for them, how to energize them, how to cleanse them, etc.) after they're purchased to learn how to put them to best use for themselves. One thing that I'd like to point out when I was in the store was that there were way too many strong scents concentrated in one specific area on the left side of the store. I took a couple of regular breaths in and the scents hit me hard. Think of the strong and multiple scents affecting your nose as being similar to strong and multiple noises affecting your ears. When I smelled the odors together I got dizzy, realized that scents were affecting me and immediately walked to the other side of the store. I was fine after breathing in non-scented air. I didn't get a good look at the object(s) that caused my dizziness. It would've been good to know so that I could avoid a similar situation in the future.

I took it back to Thornton's Jewelry Store and was greeted by the manager of the store. She was very nasty and asked did my daughter wear it everyday. It said yes, and I wear my rings everyday too. The ring originally had three peridot stones, and now the biggest and center stone is missing, plus the ring is 14 carat. I asked her the cost to put the stone back in and she told me from $125 to $150. After dealing with her nasty attitude, I decided to not have it repaired there. I later purchased another birthstone ring from another company with a repair warranty.

This company is amazing! I needed to restrand my Gran's pearls that she had for probably 60+ years…read morebefore she gifted them to me. Re-stranding is expensive and I was willing to pay the price but what I wasn't a fan of was the customer service and how it seemed like they were just another set of pearls. Boo. Luckily, I did a quick search and found The Pearl Girls! I am so happy I found them. Yes, I was reluctant because they are based in GA and I was in PA at the time. Did I really want to entrust my Gran's pearls to people I've never met AND were in a different state? I read the reviews on their website and decided to give them a try. First things first, the customer service is AMAZING. I incorrectly ordered two boxes for shipping my pearls to them for them to repair. I received a phone call to verify that I did in fact need two boxes. We discussed how big the necklaces I was sending were and was advised I really only needed one box. She asked me if it would be ok if they just took the amount I overpaid for the box and deducted it from the total repair cost. I really appreciated the time that was taken to ask me about this. That alone made me feel more confident with my choice. They were in constant communication with me and when they shipped them back, I was beyond happy with the quality of the work they did. I'm so sorry I do not remember the woman's name that I spoke with about the box situation but everyone I spoke with or had email communication with was lovely and very easy to understand. The pricing made me very happy. It was considerably cheaper than what other big named companies were charging but the care wasn't there from them like it was with The Pearl Girls. I love the fact that this company is heavily invested in pearls and understand the significance of them. I love the fact that they are always exploring and designing. I would happily recommend this company 100 times over big named companies. I will absolutely be doing business again with them in the future and that will include shipping my pearls back to them for cleaning and the spa treatment they deserve.

Really cool fabrics, and beautiful work, though some are pretty pricey. My favorite purchase so far is two beautifully re-worked vintage ties I bought for my husband.

In a shop dedicated to re-design, this surprised me. However, I will certainly continue to go there. They do the quickest and most reasonably priced alterations in town, they do good work, and it is always fun to see what is new on the racks.
