I cannot say enough good things about Martha and Restored by Design! I was struggling to find a…read morewedding dress that aligned with my vision when I was referred to Restored by Design by a friend of mine. Martha took the time to thoughtfully and carefully create my wedding dress based on my comments and examples and was willing to add out-of-the-norm details to make my dress just that much more special. She advised me on ways we could save money constructing the dress and explained her thought process every step of the way so that I would be comfortable and confident in the final product. It turned out gorgeous, and even better than I'd ever imagined. I appreciated Martha's expertise, kindness, and professionalism throughout this whole process, and I would HIGHLY recommend her creations to anyone, whether you're looking for a formal dress, casual wear, or something in between!

I highly Recommend going to Copacetic Rudely Elegant Jewelry! We just went there for a great…read moreEngagement ring resizing (half a size down). Me and my fiancé got engaged back in February 2026 and we got a great ring from a nearby jeweler. The only issue was they outsource their resizing, design and delivery to partnering jewelers so when we were looking to get her ring sized down we would have to have the ring send out for 1-2 weeks to get resized. We got recommended to a jeweler in smithfield 30mins away who was able to do a friend's resizing in a day. As we did not source our ring from them they had mentioned it would take a week and a half and $150 to resize the ring. I called several nearby stores and Don picked up mentioning he should be able to get the resize done in a day or by the next day. Feeling happy with this response we swang by the following Monday at 10am, where we were greeted by Don. He was very nice and welcoming. He handled our engagement ring with care and was able to start right away bringing the ring down to a size that fit my Fiancé's finger nicely. He was cracking jokes and being very respectful while doing so. We dropped off the ring and were told he will text us when it is all finished. To our pleasant surprise the ring was resized a few hours later that same day. This is even after we were told it would take 1.5-2 weeks by every other store (and i called 7 local jewelers). Were we able to come by and Don did great work! The ring was all cleaned, fit snug and secure, and the ring itself looked brand new and the cut wasn't even noticeable. Don also only charged up $35! We will be going back to check out more of the store's unique and beautiful pieces! Thank you Don!

My wife loves a good bead. Can't get enough of them. Likes to make her own earrings. She is new to…read morethe hobby so we are always on the hunt for a new bead store. On our way up to Boston we stopped by Bead Chroma (not Chroma Bead? Fair enough.) Well it's a real treat. Huge selection of beads. Really incredible. Beads as far as the eye can see. Arranged by color. So many colors. All of them really Hence the name Bead Chroma. Because chroma means color. I mean sort of. Not to get tied up in the name but it reminds me of those restaurants where you know the owners speak English as a second language and they've googled the word for delicious and ended up with a restaurant called Gratifying Noodle Shack. But very nice store. Well organized. Easy to navigate. Easy to figure out pricing. Lots of findings. No problem finding them (this is actually a coincidence, but a happy one). The woman at the counter very helpful and knowledgeable. There is a little table in the back where people can work on projects and she is available to help. Some high school girls came in at 4:45 and wanted to make bracelets (store closes at 5. Kids am I right? ) she was not able to accommodate them in the store but helped them find everything they needed. This led to a long discussion of the Dana Carvey movie, "Master of Disguise". Quite an old movie for a high school student to be watching. She was a fan. They also have samples that you can purchase or use for inspiration. And a little gallery up front. They had a bowl where you can scoop out a whole scoop of random beads. I was really into this idea. My wife would not have it. She never lets me make earrings. Except one time. Other than that not a fan of my aesthetic. Anyways. Check out Brad Chroma. As a store it is hard to bead. That's a joke. It's fairly straightforward.
