They're around if you need them and will also offer to show you the piece you're looking at (instead of waiting around for you to ask). They have their jewelry production right in the back and offer to change a length/clasp/gemstone. I found an amazing vintage watch fob converted into a bracelet, but I didn't care for the chain. The gals offered me a few different vintage chain options and edited the piece on the spot! She was patient when it didn't fit and kindly added an extra link to the newly edited piece. That extra mile is what makes any business stand out from the rest, and I very much appreciated it! There were 4 different gals working and each of them were a part of my store experience. I love that vibe - a nice cross between slumber party vibe, girly pop vibe and artsy vibe. Most of their pieces are sterling silver or brass, but they have a handful of pieces in 14k and gold fill. I got a mixture of both! Their sweet spot price point is "affordable" while some pieces are definitely spendy. I've got my eye on a vintage wedding band for $3k. The store is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! Plenty of street parking in front! Yes they have a bathroom that's roomy and clean (and chic!)

The majority of the jewelry I own and wear on the daily came from Cival. I have been a loyal…read morecustomer for years. I have always loved their funky, unique and affordable statement jewelry. Also absolutely loved the vibe of the store. I went to visit the new location today - it's beautiful don't get me wrong, but totally different vibe. I wouldn't even know I was in the same store. Inventory was much more limited, and most of it high end, out of my price range and not the every day pieces that I loved so much. I had admired the higher end custom pieces at the old location, but sad that they are now the primary inventory at the new store. I really hope with time they will have more variety and bring a bit of the old vibe back.

Jewelry Works is a neat little Mom & Pop shop. You don't usually get that from a jewelry store. It…read morewas so refreshing chatting with the owners, getting to know them and the history behind their business. They have had their shop forever. I could tell. There were various newspaper articles about the owners throughout the years framed on their walls. Their inventory is diverse. There were all price ranges represented and many specials available. I saw whimsical gifts and stunning pieces as well. The cases were clean and neatly organized, which made it easy to browse. The owners were very much available to answer all questions. Their kind spirit really made me love this place even more. This is not a big flashy, stylish jewelry shop. It is on the small side with big service. That, in my opinion, counts much more. If you are looking for fair prices, good value and personalized service, this is the place for you!

I found that they had been here for over 60 days, so the price was now 25% discounted. Yay for me! As I checked out, I was told that pillows were on consignment from a woman who got them for a new couch but found they didn't do what she had hoped for. So she sold them unused. I believe it, as they were in perfect condition with no smell to them. The pricing here is appropriate, and unlike other consignment shops, the items do not smell old and used. The variety is good, but you have to keep checking in to make sure you don't miss a good item. Things come and go quickly. The rooms are not stuffed full which is nice.
