I purchased a Regency vintage flower brooch from Rhinestone Rosie last month. I called to make sure it was in stock, and Rosie called the same day, left a message and was the sweetest person. I placed order. Order was shipped and arrived quickly. It was packaged carefully. Brooch is a three dimensional fragile rhinestone and very delicate item, and it arrived in perfect condition. It is more beautiful than described and how photos showed on website. Everything about purchase was excellent. From customer service, to receiving my treasure. Rhinestone Rosie is my go to for vintage. read more

Excellent, quick repair of costume jewelry via mail. I had a pair of costume jewelry earrings from the 1950s that needed to be converted from clip-on to pierced earring backings. From the beginning, communication was prompt and friendly, the repair was quick (I shipped the earrings from the east coast) and it was sent back wrapped well and fixed! Price was reasonable, especially compared to other quotes from other jewelry stores. Thank you so much for a great repair and highly recommend! read more

What do you do with sentimental costume jewelry that is broken, or clip-on earrings that make your ears hurt, or a great rhinestone bracelet find with a few stones that have lost their sparkle? Send them to Rosie! I live in Boston, and my local jewelers don't work on base metal or handle these sorts of issues, so I sent several pieces to Rosie for repair and conversion, and they came out beautifully. She was even able to take link/stone from a vintage necklace to replace a lost earring. Clear communication and friendly service. I can't remember how I found Rosie, but I'm so glad I did! read more

After being turned down by 2 very reputable jewelers, who declined to repair 2 antique Italian mosaic bracelets, I was referred to Rhinestone Rosie. She did an amazing job, restoring the links to make them wearable again. even though they were made of "base metal", nickel I presume. And when she returned them to me. they were beautufully wrapped and placed in a lovely velvet bracelet box. These were souvinirs from my daughter's furst trip to Europe, and precious to her, not in a monetary way, but a sentimental way. Rosie understands this. I could not be more pleased. read more

Good service Nice owner No complaints Rosie has been there 40 years Cute community read more

I used to love this place. It's filled to the brim with fabulous vintage costume jewelry. But recently, I knew my relationship with Rhinestone Rosie had to end. Rosie was nothing but gracious, helpful & professional to work with. Rosie doesn't seem to be in the shop much anymore. Her daughter, Lucia, has been there the past several times I've been in. I've had several unpleasant interactions with Lucia-- she's been rude, irritable and has spoken to me in a sarcastic tone. All of this has been puzzling to me. At one point I asked a question and Lucia actually rolled her eyes... I've heard her speak to other customers similarly. I rarely write a negative review, but felt it was time to express myself. I'm sorry I can no longer support Rhinestone Rosie's-- it had fabulous customer service when Rhinestone Rosie herself was at the helm. read more

I went on a vintage hunt in Seattle and this was by far my favorite spot. Rhinestone Rosie's shop is divine. I found so many great things. I settled on a green bracelet, Rosie saw I was having trouble with the small clasp and she changed the clasp for me. What great service. I have been checking out costume jewelry on eBay for a while and I thought Rosie's prices were way better. The shop has a great selection, even hair ornaments and fancy belts. A shop full of so many unique bargains, displayed in a way you can actually see is a rare treat. This is a Mother-Daughter team and they have put a lot of love in this shop and it really is a wonderful inviting space with lots of treasures. They even repair costume jewelry too! Thanks again Rosie, I am getting so many compliments on the bracelet. read more

Very fun store! Lot's of costume jewelry in all sorts of price ranges. Plus Rhinestone Rosie is of the Antiques Road Show Rhinestone Rosie fame! Who knew? Well I didn't, but maybe some other folks did. Anyway, I actually found a vintage barette with my name on it for $10! read more

I have been coming to this little life size jewelry box for years! For me, Rosie's is like going to my grammy's house and playing in all of her beautiful jewelry. Rosie has some real treasures. I like to pop in often, as one should when they're a curator of fine little pieces. They also do really great work when it comes to repairs. Check this place out, you wont be sorry (unless you spend too much like often do) read more

Rhinestone Rosie's was actually referred to me by Fred Meyer jewelers! I needed a quick fix to my inexpensive for an affordable price. Rosie fixed it for me for under $10 and in a more secure way so I hopefully won't have to repair it again. Great service too! Definitely recommend Rhinestone Rosie's for inexpensive jewelry repair! read more

This is a cute consignment jewelry shop tucked away in a little Queen Anne neighborhood. I've been inside several times. I feel like whenever I enter I'm judged as perhaps not a serious buyer. Maybe it's because I'm younger or dressed casually but it would be nice to be greeted more genuinely when entering the store. They do have some nice items here. read more

Great service and wonderful job repairing my ring! It was fixed perfectly and quickly. I don't live in Seattle and wasn't able to get up there to pick it up. I called to see if they'd ship it to me and they did! I received it the next day in a lovely green velvet box. I couldn't be any happier. read more

Rhinestone Rosie - I couldn't be any happier with the repair of my Eisenberg ring. Only $10 and she shipped it back in this darling green velvet box. Thanks!! - Antiques Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you ever need a repair, a sparkle or an honest opinion, Rhinestone Rosie is the place. A friendly smile, quality service and a rich knowledge of costume jewelry is the hallmark of this Seattle institution. They are experts in their field and are gracious and thoughtful. Every time I visit, it puts a smile on my face. read more

I love the great finds here but the lady who works here always make me feel like I'm inconveniencing her when I visit. I don't feel friendliness at all is she seems like she is burdened when customers visit. I am a regular customer but I wish she would get a happier attitude. read more

I have visited this shop many times, because I have relatives in Seattle and I love to buy costume jewelry. However, I will no longer patronize this store. I am tired of ignoring the elephant in the living room, which is the attitude of the people who own the shop. Rosie evaluates jewelry for Antiques Roadshow and appears to assume that because we, her customers, do not, we are not worthy of her respect or kindness. Although I have to believe she is not aware of how she is coming off, she is the most openly hostile, condescending shopkeeper I have met in a long time. Oh, wait a minute -- I correct myself! Her insufferable daughter takes the cake. Don't visit Rhinestone Rosie unless you are comfortable dealing with shopkeepers for whom making you feel small appears to be an even higher priority than selling you something. read more

I've twice been so offended by the store's owner that I will never return. The first time, she was curt and rude to me I figured she was having a bad day. No. This is her basic personality. I brought a ring in for repair, telling her a little about it, where i'd bought it and that it was rather old. She disagreed with me regarding it's provenance and age although I have paperwork on it from a reputable jeweler in NYC. Then to top it off, she quoted a 280.00 price to simply remount the stone that had fallen out due to a pulled back prong (still attached!). When I raised my eyebrows she dismissed me by saying, " Well, I'm sure you paid much more than that for the ring." She's lost my business. read more

all that sparkles does NOT shine ! Referred here by a Ballard cocktail waitress & by a mgr @ Menashe & Sons in West Seattle: Menashe sends her biz, & Rosie recips, so there's that explanation. One palm greasing the other-is that the cliche? anyways, Menashe convinces me 2 take about 5 vintage pieces 2 RR because she can 'do just about anything' w/ cheaper materials. Not true. RR is more about selling stock, not repairing. I drop in there on Sept 29th. 1st of all, Rosie & daughter Lucia r both just so INSUFFERABLY HIGH ON THEMSELVES. I arrive there- a MAZE 2 get 2- they're remodeling, they're both impatient, no concealing what can only be called exasperation w/ the ideas i have 4 soldering a ring onto a chunky vintage chain & replacing a few stones in a very unusual gem that was my fiance's deceased father's, & a few other basics, like a secure jump ring for a locket w/ my beloved deceased 14 yo cat, (he died 4 months before deceased dad of fiance last year), so these pieces were imbued w/ emotional vibration 4 my guy & I ,These women can barely manage 2 give me the time of day. I'm feeling defensive & all 3 of us r flipping attitude in 1 way or another. Rosie rejects wholesale an idea of mine 4 attaching a ring 2 the chunky vintage chain- i mean, there's ways of guiding someone w/out making them feel like an idiot. Tension builds. From the start, Lucia wants 2 help me,but i wanted 2 strictly consult w/ Rosie, having been referred 2 her. La Lucia was sooo miffed, & Rosie-she cudn't be bothered-as she was busy w/ her electrician or whatever contractor was there. My fiance wanted to audio record the RR interaction w/ his iPad,. i said no-what purpose wud it serve? But OH, how he was dying 2 walk out the door-he stayed 2 see how much more rude they both cud be.. Folks, I've lived in SF for the past 27 years, & i KNOW attitude. i also know how those with 'The Knowledge' also ACKNOWLEDGE that social networks exist, bad reviews r NOT good 4 biz, & COMMON COURTESY IS ALWAYS A GREAT IDEA! DUH! I try 2 assuage their ridiculous bizarre egos by dropping i think $40 (they disco'd me $5) on a rhinestone necklace-w/out a clasp on the end- & Miss Thing Lucia tells me that necklaces were made thus way back. One simply inserts the hook into the chain. Well, the necklace fell off into my lap the next day. it's put aside until i can work a clasp onto the end of it. i would've been so irate had i not recovered it.. so....Rosie calls me w/in a week & leaves me a msg saying she couldn't work on most of my order-she did the simpler pieces though & I can fetch them. I'm thinking, this is just a bad vibe! she sounds so imperious. Wish i could return that darn necklace that I myself must make secure. There was a palpable dismissive tone 2 the voicemail- akin 2 not valuing my patronage. A shame, cuz I told her initially, i tend 2 heap biz on artisans like herself & i wud've been a steady customer. RR wud have a glowing review, & friends referred. We didnt' even want 2 return 2 that witchy little chamber of snobbery & rudeness! It took us until October 27th, which is the day of the month that my cat died, 2 rally a game face 2 drive over there. I simply had 2 rescue Asha & his locket from the clutches of those two harpies b4 his anniversary passed.. Can u believe she used verbiage when i arrived 2 get my locket like "you know how it is when you're just not FEELING IT? " with regards 2 the rejected pieces? after deep reflection, (lol) I just do not know what the heck she meant, let alone how she cud be so deliberate talking down 2 a customer like that. deal w/ this: La Lucia has this foot cast on- as well as that mean look on her face-ia permanent facial expression of hers-it's cast in stone-not rhinestones-more like cement & she moves swiftly past me -nearly comes into contact with me. Foot cast or not, she remembered how i didn't want 2 deal w/ her initially, but i DID buy the precarious necklace from her, & i did discover that she was a trained goldsmith. WHATEVS, really. My point is that RR = a big fish in a small pond., Going 2 the lofty Queen Anne district (where else wud these deluded 'noble women' desire 2 ply their trade?) has made me disillusioned w/, Menashe & Sons & Rhinestone Rosie's is the nasty,artificial icing on THAT piece of cake. If any of u ever get 2 SF, stop by Bell'ochio, a very unique French notions boutique, where the staff are very eccentric, but always circumspect & polite 2 you, even when you can sense a whiff of condescension. Finding out that Rosie is an Antiiques Roadshow mamma explains all the attitude! i wish the Roadshow folks cud secret shop the witchy-poo palace w/ some quirky gem ideas & feel 'the love' NOT!. i wud remove this review if i cud return the blighted rhinestone necklace i bought! More folks need 2 review this rude shop of paste gems! read more

Rhinestone Rosie has been repairing my jewelry for many years and I have been very happy with each repair. Not a single disappointment. Her widely recognized expertise in jewelry restoration and repair is evident in her work. Just as important, she appreciates your jewelry as much as you do. Each piece is treated with loving attention to detail. Seeing the results of her efforts is always a joyous occasion. Many cheers for an enterprise that brings so much happiness into a world that sorely needs it. Lani Hummel read more

I am a vintage costume jewelry collector and Rhinestone Rosie's repair service is fabulous. Last year a rhinestone in one of my rings was lost. No one could repair it. An internet search led me to Rhinestone Rosie, and I was ecstatic. She fixed my ring so it looked like new at a reasonable price. I have not visited the shop, yet, but have since had several repairs made on beautiful costume jewelry which was all accomplished by e-mail, telephone, and mail. Fabulous service, fabulous work. I am so happy a place like Rhinestone Rosie's exists. read more

I would give them ten stars if I could. Rosie's daughter is the goldsmith and she was able to help me create some truly one of a kind pearl earring and pendent set from some vintage jewelry. They were so easy to deal with and the final product exceeded my expectations. They really went the extra mile with their attention to detail. And it was all for a very reasonable price. If you are looking for something that is truly unique but will not have you taking out a second mortgage go here. There is just soo much cool stuff in this place, it's too bad shops like these are so rare these days. read more

Excellent customer support by Rosie and her staff. I regret not knowing about them sooner. Thanks, RR.

I brought in 3 pieces, 2 were pieces from J Crew. Each had a missing stone and it only cost me $8 to get the stones replaced for all three. And they were packaged nicely! Although I was told the stones I was missing were common ones and not hard to find. read more

Really disappointing experience with Rhinestone Rosie yesterday. My sister had called ahead to make an appointment to look over some costume jewelry she'd inherited (as the website suggests), and was told an appointment wasn't necessary and that she should just plan to come by anytime during open hours. So we both took the day off yesterday specifically to visit the shop together, only to arrive and be greeted by a sign on the door saying they're closed for two days to attend a jewelry show. No warning on the website that the shop would be closed. Complete waste of a precious vacation day. If they'd just let her schedule an appointment, or put a notice on their website about the closure that they must have known about for months, we could have saved ourselves an entire day's time and some serious frustration. Really disappointed at the lack of thought for their clients' time. Undecided if we will try to visit again or find someone else to talk to. read more

My review refers purely to the customer service at RR's. Their jewelry selection is beautiful and they did a wonderful job fixing a necklace of mine. That said, the customer service is sub-par. It took them more than twice the amount of time they originally quoted to fix my necklace, something they did not communicate clearly to me about, and I missed wearing it at a very special event as a result. In addition the girl who was working at the shop both times I went in was curt, almost sarcastic, to the point of being rude and made my transaction way more awkward than was necessary. I couldn't wait to get out of the store and it seemed like she couldn't wait for us to leave. Not an atmosphere that is condusive to browsing (or returning). They gave me half off my repair, which is something. However, if there was another shop in Seattle that repaired costume/vintage jewelry AND had staff that were even remotely approachable or friendly I would go instead in a heart beat. read more

Great shop! Great Service! Rhinestone Rosie's is a wonderful find. I needed an eyeglass frame repair for my all time favorite glasses. I was referred to Rhinestone Rosie's by my optometrist. Thank goodness. My frame rhinestones have now been repaired and replaced. They are beautiful and this repair saved my favorite glasses. I highly recommend this shop for beautiful and unusual jewelry, professional service, and high quality repair work. Thank you Rhinestone Rosie! read more

I sent Rosie 5 rhinestone clocks that I needed stones/settings replaced on. She did the work quickly and beautifully and at a very reasonable price! I am so happy with my little clocks. If I need any other vintage rhinestone repair work, it will be worth it for me to send all my stuff to Rosie! Thanks so much! read more

Rosie is a gem & her store is fabulous! Rosie is knowledgeable, (she's appeared on the Antiques Road Show). She's enthusiastic & honest. ( She steered me away from an expensive purchase.) Rhinestone Rosie's shop was well worth my trip by bus from West Seattle. The only reason I don't give it a 5th star is because of how her employee treated me. Even though I brought 7 items for possible work, she treated me like dirt. I can't remember anyone in retail ever treating me in such a surly manner. And even though I told her twice that I didn't appreciate her manner, she continued treating me in an offensive condescending way. When my jewelry is ready for pick up, I'll make sure she's not there. It's a jewel of a place but severely tarnished when she is there. read more

Hi! I'm a guy who doesn't know/care much about jewelry who is dating a girl who is nuts about jewelry. I wanted to get her a Christmas gift that was a little out of the ordinary, but would still go over really well. So I found this place and the awesome mom/daughter proprietors walked me through the store, asked the right questions, and guided me to the perfect choice. They are very knowledgeable and patient, plus their inventory has tons of cool old jewelry. If you're a dude grasping for straws trying to get your girl something off the beaten path, give this place a shot. read more

I live in Richmond Va. and first saw Rosie on Antiques Roadshow...I just loved her personality so decided to Google her and found her shop...that was a few years ago and I have been shipping all my costume pieces to her that needed repair and/or missing stones ever since. Everything comes back looking as if nothing was ever replaced or repaired...I usually send a package at least every other month and almost every time Rosie has called me personally to let me know the package arrived and also when they are finished & on the way...I highly recommend this shop and Rosie to anyone that is addicted to vintage jewelry! read more

I went to Rhinestone Rosie on the recommendation of my late grandmother. She had bought several sets of costume jewelry there as well as having pieces repaired. Since I had always heard such good reviews from my grandmother I had expected a much better experience than I had. Prior to my visit I researched some of my late grandmother's costume jewelry sets and found them to be moderately valuable, well over the $100 range. Additionally, I noted that their web site said you could bring in any old jewelry to see if they would be interested. I figured what the heck; I have plenty of jewelry in a box gathering dust. I was greeted by a younger woman, who was at the very least brusque and seemingly apathetic during the whole encounter. I explained that while I had had appraisals on antique jewelry performed before I was not aware of how they worked for costume jewelry. I had wrapped all of the pieces in tissue to prevent any damage; this seemed to amuse her a great deal. She mentioned that they charged for appraisals over a certain number of pieces. Her tone came off as if she expected me to leave because I must not have the funds to pay. As she inspected the different sets of jewelry she was rather snide in her tone, asking what I wanted to know. I mentioned value, history, maker, general areas of interest. She replied "well it's a pin, its red, and its shiny" and then proceeded to hold it up to her coat. I was rather taken aback at her demeanor and realized then that my trip was a lost cause. My other favorite comment while going through my old throw away jewelry was that "this is all really low quality stuff". Of course I brought in the odds and ends, their web site states they want to look at such things for hidden treasures. Change your web site content if you don't want odds and ends brought in. Better yet hire a sales clerk that knows how to work with the public in a professional manner. Certainly the one working there needs a lesson in tact. She gave value estimates that were so low I had trouble not laughing at her blatant attempts to lie. I had some gold, very little, which I was willing to sell. She offered me $40 for what I later sold for $88. Additionally with that forty dollar offer she wanted to take an $80 gothic choker, a Lucite pin from the 1930's, and a few other items. It has been a long time since anyone has so blatantly tried to cheat me and insult my intelligence at the same time. I have since sold all the items that she offered me a paltry $40 for, for well over $350. I realize the economy is not booming right now and small businesses have to make a profit. But there is great difference between profit and outright cheating. My recommendation is to avoid this business if you want to sell costume jewelry. She has a large selection and if you are looking to buy then this is a good start. read more

I had a broken rhinestone necklace which a boyfriend gave to my mom when she was 16 years old. My mom died when she was 55 and this broken piece had sat in my drawer for years. One side of the necklace was completely gone and the other side had many missing rhinestones along with the dangling middle triangle piece had rhinestones missing. I never in a million years thought that it could be repaired but I held onto it with precious memories of my mom. Until recently, a woman told me about Rhinestone Rosie. I didn't think it would hurt to have her look at it and see if it could be repaired and the missing pieces replaced. Just a couple of days ago, my husband picked up the piece. It is absolutely beautiful and I hope somewhere in heaven my mom is smiling. This piece is more valuable to me then diamonds and sapphires. There's a single blue stone dangling from the center. I can't recommend Rosie enough. Thank you Rosie, you're the best! read more

Although the first time I went in the shop I did detect some of the unfriendliness that was touched on in some of the less positive reviews, when I finally did go in to get my ring repaired no one was anything but helpful. Not over-the-top friendly, but still super polite with an EXCELLENT outcome! My ring was repaired right on time, the price was as estimated, and the quality of the repair is impeccable. All in all I'm extremely glad I chose this shop! read more

I am sure it's a different story if you are buying jewelry here rather than selling your family collection of heirlooms. I ended up feeling very taken advantage of when I went here a year or two ago and Rosie and her daughter assessed my collection and offered me an extremely low group offer for the items they wanted and they wanted a lot of items. i did it because I needed money but afterward I felt very taken advantage of. I have seen Rosie on Antiques Roadshow so I know she's very well informed but when they looked at my collection they didn't offer me any info about other options and prices I might get for selling my items and they were very cagey about it all. They talked to each other throughout the assessment and said things that they thought I couldn't understand and they bought as much of my marked gold and silver stuff as they could get away with. In retrospect I wish I had my stuff back and that I never went there in the first place but I had heard good things. They scrounged through my items and treated me without respect, I felt. I would never buy anything here. read more

After seeing them profiled on tv, I sent them an old Kenneth Jay Lane brooch that I had that needed fixing. A few of the stones had fallen out of the flowers. They did a fabulous job. They matched the stones, did it in a timely way and returned it to me. They were good at keeping me informed about when to expect it back and how much it would be before they worked on it. Wonderful experience! I live in Mount Vernon, they are in Seattle, but that didn't cause a problem at all. Great job! read more

I had a broken piece of costume jewelry that has great emotional value to me. The woman working at the shop was so kind and repaired it while I waited and treated it and me with such kindness. Really love this shop! read more

I think the store concept, layout and the contents are magnificent. The first time I was there, the older proprietor was welcoming and engaging. However, I had a bad experience there with a younger woman, and I am not planning to come back to the store ever. I was given a gift certificate and it took a about a year to figure out what I wanted from the store. I decided to go back and purchase an expensive wedding present for my friend, using the gift certificate. I also planned to purchased some smaller gift certificates for some of my employees. When I arrived, I overheard a disturbing transaction between a younger woman behind the counter and someone selling some jewelry. It was uncomfortable and I have to say I thought the woman behind the counter to be rude and haughty. She must have been in a bad mood, because when I asked her to see some bracelets, she was off-handed and arrogant. When I showed her my gift certificate she said, rather coldly, "Oh this is old. Look at the date. I'm not honoring this." I was so disappointed. I wanted to love that store but instead, I felt creepy. Yucky experience. Beautiful jewels. read more

I love Rhinestone Rosie's shop and Rosie is terrific! While reading the reviews, I can empathize with some of the comments regarding service, but I assure you that Rosie has always been professional and gone the extra mile to be of service to the many strange requests that I have made of her for jewelry repair. We laugh and I say, she is on "retainer"...the sum of money that I have given her are minimal but the service she provides is unique and invaluable. Rosie is topnotch! It is one of those shops and Rosie is one of those people that I hope lives long. read more

I have taken many items to this store over the years. I agree with the folks that say the customer service is most lacking. I have disliked going there for several years now, but have had little choice since she's the only game in town. Lucia has a quite disagreeable, haughty manner. If Rosie isn't there, you are likely to be overcharged for a simple repair. Rosie has become quite snooty as well and is more interested in looking at online photos of her grandchild than she is in helping customers. In the old days, (prior to Antique Roadshow 'fame' and birth of grandchild) she actually acted like she wanted your business. The new employee does not do a good job on repairs, so it seems like now the only reason to go there is if you want to rub up against people who exhibit that they clearly think they are doing you a favor to be in business. My repairs will be sent elsewhere in the future. Note to RR: kindly don't bother with your 'sorry, we strive to blah blah'. You clearly don't mean it. read more

The woman tending the store might have just told my fiancee and I to get lost, it'd been a lot more cordial than what she actually did. When asked if she had anything other than costume jewelry (since that is overwhelmingly what one sees when walking in to the store) her response was a distasteful "um, that is what someone who is going to rob you says". Maybe she is a little too paranoid, just a little. read more

Long story short 4 months ago I reached out to Rosie after doing a tad bit of research. She immediately responded saying she wouldn't mind coming to my house and looking through what I have and share her knowledge with me and would be willing to do it for her choice in a few pieces. Woo hoo I felt I hit the jackpot on the being on the receiving end of a "Roadshow" expert. So in my response I clarified her terms and asked how many pieces would like she like to choose. The next morning in her response I felt as if I somehow offended her now she couldn't come to my house and she charges $300 an hour and as it stands she is not able to do house calls and suggested I visit Seattle I was way too busy at the moment but would definitely plan a trip. She gave me some advise but I was left wondering why the plan changed so suddenly when I attempted to make the terms crystal clear. Fast forward to today 4 months later and I get a small duffle bag together of pieces I have found little no info on. Also I will proudly add that I am walking in to this meeting ALOT WISER! I have spent at least 4-5 hours of everyday since our first convo researching learning and studying. I'm not expert but I'm not as naive as I was before but nobody needed to know that :)I put $80 in my gas guzzling diesel and off we go. We get there and I walk in and am greeted pleasantly and sincerely,she tells me to bring my things to the back counter and she digs right in. I will add here that 3 weeks ago 1 week after my 36 birthday I suffered a heart attack!! I am healthy and active and sooo not the prime candidate for this so it rocked my world and bank account, so let's get back to my drawn out story :) she offers no info as she works and 2 and a half hours later she has a very nice little stack of jewelry which I have counted 107 pieces I took pictures of it to my surprise this "costume jewelry" person chose was only REAL platinum, white gold silver and aside from 1 pair of earrings and 1 ring everything contained real stones!! According to her none of the pieces date prior to 1980!! ( PLEASE!! THE WEB BIRTH RECORD RATTLE YOU WANTED DATES TO THE 1950'S I THINK. IDK YOUR THE EXPERT) I knew right then something was up but I walked away so she could assist a couple customers and when I came back anxious to hear her quote because now I can pay my bills and buy food and I can't tell you how much pressure that would take away. She tells me $60!! My heart sank and I'm sure she seen the tears that wanted so damn bad to escape I turned red and started sweating from the sheer effort of not crying. I knew she was up to something but I didn't think she would stoop so low. She completely and utterly and purposely mislead me took advantage of my naivety and so loudly too. I said there's no way she said ok I can do $80!! that's a diamond to which she replied oh I had no idea I'm not a gemologist!! No you are an EXPERT IN THE FIELD OF JEWELRY WHICH MEANS YOU KNOW YOUR JEWELS AND JUDGING BY THE STUFF YOU CHOSE IDE SAY YOU LIED TO ME TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MY NICE OPEN AND TRUSTING NATURE AND BASICALLY SPAT IN MY FACE! So I pull a Tiffany bracelt from the open heart collection out and tell her that's Tiffany this is gold these blue topaz earrings are platinum an 18k star sapphire ring with the 2 diamonds that I had put in. When I removed the last ring she told me that if I'm taking that ring she is going to have to drop tothe price all the while I noticed her growing more rigid as I'm picking out items and she is getting closer and closer to her tray of stuff she was trying to leagally steal from me like I was some crack head looking for an easy $20 from stolen goods to get my next fix!! So I gave her a pair of 3 stone drop fire opal earring and a rogue 2 stone black opal broken piece and a shell bracelet for her time as she reminded me that most of my things were scrap!! Liar How are you trying to buy my real stuff for $60 and sell a brass and colored glass for $165!!! How dare you use your success to mislead and take advantage of people for your own personal gain!! I'm Soo hurt!! my poor girlfriend hasn't seen me that hurt in awhile. even if I took your offer I would still get home less money than I started with. I wish I never would have gone now I need to add how am I going to make my truck payment to my list. I wish I could post photos just to show u guys. Do NOT GO HERE read more
