    I am not from the Wisconsin Rapids area, but have been making my purchases from Robin for twenty…read moreplus years. If you really what something special, Robin is the go to. Especially with diamonds, she buys them for you in Belgium and at a very reasonable cost. In store repairs and cleaning is a plus also. Paul Gross is a "Jewelry Store", not a costume jewelry store. If that is what you are looking for, try Walmart.

    There are a few areas of concern that I want to address about this business. First a little about…read moreme. I have been working in the jewelry business for over a decade and have made multiple trip abroad to gather gems and fine jewelry alike. I always try and work with local jewelers as they are often rooted in the community which gives support back to that community. With that being said, the biggest concern that I would warn people in the Wisconsin Rapids area is that Paul Gross, in specific Robin, has a very entitled opinion and frankly can be very standoffish. I brought a loose diamond in to have set - when asked if they could set this the first request was what type of setting do I want to have.... this is typical and expected. I chose a couple different settings and when I asked about price I was amazed at what I heard. Now, I know the lights have to get paid, but for a simple setting with less that 60 ct. pts, I would not expect platinum to come in at over 2800 USD. Taken back a bit, I explained I may use my own setting and have their gold smith set it for me. Needless to say, I left the store with a very unsure answer and frankly I felt like as soon as I just asked for the stone to be set no one else in the store wanted toe help me. I know 200 USD isn't the typical 5k plus they want for sales, but remember this is a small community and a sale is a sale. I called back about three days later and asked if they would be willing to set the stone. The owner gave me a blunt answer of "NO." I then asked where else in town I could get this set, after a lengthy explanation of why she didn't know I said thank you and good bye. In short this business is garbage: 1. No customer support 2. Not willing to give you the time of day if you won't drop a serious dollar 3. Rude 5. Over bearing 6. Lies I would never go to a jeweler I do not trust... and I DO NOT TRUST THESE FOLKS.

    Schalow's was both disappointing and interesting. I was expecting to find a nursery with some nice…read moreindoor plants for gifts, but instead found a place specializing primarily in outdoor gardens. There's nothing wrong with that, but it was just disappointing for me. Maybe it was the time of year. Schalow's was interesting in that the selection of outdoor plants was huge. They even had some of the sculpted topiary bushes shaped like animals. Although cute, those topiaries looked like they'd be a lot of work to maintain. I did see some cute outdoor birdbaths and statues to complete the outdoor garden and there was a nice indoor area to pickup smaller items and ask for help from the staff. We were left alone to wander around the grounds, but periodically the employees would ask if we needed help. I like that they weren't pushy.

    While in town for a sporting event we asked some locals what we can do in the area. A lot of people…read morerecommended checking out Schalow's Nursery. We went there with three adults and six kids. The kids were excited to see all of the cool outdoor decor and the workers were really kind to them. I think I was more on edge than the workers about the kids getting overly excited. There's a lot of cool indoor and outdoor decor here. This would be a really great place to go for a unique gift. I forgot my wallet at the hotel and needed to be somewhere and the workers were kind enough to hold onto my items for several hours for me. We will definitely stop back again next year when we are in the area again.
