The perfect place to pick up a nice unique gift for a friend or browse for something inspirational for yourself.

I have been a customer here for a few months now, and always make it a point to pop in Present when I am in Bradley to visit the owners, Aimee and Heather, and to see what's new in the store! I absolutely love the products they carry here. I have purchased everything from jewelry to essential oils, to lotions, face products, soaps, to cute birthday cards! Everything is so unique, and the connection that Aimee and Heather have to the vendors they carry seems so special. There is always a meaningful story or fun fact about any product I buy there. I love it! This is the perfect place to come for a gift or to treat yourself. Bradley needed a place like this, and I couldn't be happier about it! Looking forward to visiting again.

I hate to write this review for fear that this Gem will get spoiled by people trampling all over and making a mess of things. If you have a creative Eye and a love for repurposing things this is the place for you. Yes, the prices seemed a bit on the high side, but each pice is rich with history. Loved going there and can't wait to go back!!! Staff was helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Could have easily emptied my bank account there.

I visited Atlantic City Jewelry in the Berkeley Shopping Plaza in Bayville on Wednesday, September…read more18, 2024, seeking information on three rings that I wanted the owner, Chris Biele, to examine. I knew two of the rings needed repair and he stated that my wedding band did as well. A diamond cocktail ring needed to be soldered and my wedding band diamonds needed to be tightened. The engagement ring was missing two diamonds, which I instructed Chris just to fill in with white gold. In addition, Chris mentioned he would tighten all those remaining diamonds, as well as round the ring's frame, which had become somewhat more of an oval shape after years of wear. He told me that the repairs to the rings would be ready any time after 1 pm on that Saturday. On the morning of the 19th, I gave Chris a quick call requesting an itemization of the charges for each ring as the claim check only had the overall amount due. He became very defensive stating that the jeweler down the street would have charged more. I wasn't questioning the total amount, but was interested in knowing the charge for each ring, an itemization. The response I received from him was very disturbing. His arrogance surprised me. Even though the repairs were promised any time after 1 pm, I arrived at the store at 4 pm only to be told that the project was not finished. During the one hour I waited, he boasted that he had another property, a boat and purchased a new electric Hummer with a credit card, information I did not need to know. After leaving his place of business, I placed the rings in a sturdy jewel box until I wore them on the 28th for my birthday. Less than two hours after I put the ring on, I noticed one of the diamonds was missing. On the 30th, I called Chris to inform him that one of the "tightened" diamonds fell out. At first, he suggested that I must have banged the rings or dropped them dislodging the diamond. Also, he claimed that gold is soft. Then he stated that "like an auto dealer, once you leave the business premises, it is no longer responsible". The analogy, I thought, made no sense. As I live in California, I wasn't in a position to return to Bayville to have him look at the engagement ring and he didn't offer for me to mail it to him. He offered no apology and refused to refund any of the money I paid him. In fact, he said to call my insurance company, and let it pay for the ring. Fortunately, American Express intervened on my behalf, and I did receive some of the money I paid him. But now, I need to have the ring repaired again, and in addition, will now have to purchase a replacement diamond for it, costing even more than the original repair. I just thought it important to share my experience.

Excellent, well-curated selection of gems, books, jewelry, decor, etc. Definitely higher quality gems than you'll find at street fairs and average boardwalk shops. Most notable was the bright young woman at the register who was both helpful and friendly. It was my first time in Avon-by-the-Sea, and she was kind enough to tell me all the positive aspects of that town, referring to it as a 'hidden' gem with good vibes -- the perfect pun for a shop full of crystals. A positive experience all around. Left with a bag of shiny goodies. I will be sure to drop by again next time I'm in this charming town.
