I had a bizarre and highly unprofessional experience here. I brought in two rings for a simple…read morepolish and was told it would be roughly $100, but that I'd need to leave a non-refundable deposit just to get a firm quote later because the rings had to be "sent out to a professional polisher." When I hesitated, the employee spent five minutes typing on her computer and suddenly came back with an "official" quote of over $500. It's hard to believe the price quintupled in five minutes, or that she suddenly didn't need to send them out for that quote once I questioned the deposit. Most concerning was the lack of expertise. I asked for an appraisal on a necklace clearly engraved with a "750" hallmark. She told me the stone was likely fake because the chain was white and "wasn't even silver." For a professional jeweler to not recognize the standard hallmark for 18k white gold is a massive red flag. Between the "bait and switch" pricing tactics and the inability to identify basic gold hallmarks, I wouldn't trust this shop with high-end jewelry. I'm glad I didn't leave a deposit and took my business elsewhere.

So I knew Ben would take care of me, and they told me a time frame of one week to get it. I appreciate you both. Mahalo! Maria R.

Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing and honestly confusing. I came in with my newborn son and my mom, and after waiting a few minutes without being acknowledged we walked up to the front desk to ask for help. A staff member assisted us and showed a few bands. When I found one I liked, I asked if it could be made in yellow gold. She said she would check with the vendor and offered to clean my engagement ring so I could look at the bands with my clean ring. After a few minutes, she returned with my ring, and when I asked to try on another band, she told us she was now helping someone else and couldn't assist us further.This was surprising since she had been helping us the entire time up to that point. I was ready to move forward with purchasing a ring but never received an answer about pricing and was told no when I asked to see another option. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

I need one of those, but so does my BESTIE who is going to be coming up to Auburn with me next Saturday! These hats are soooo darling!!! All colors, sizes, and some with designs on the front. All the hats i came across were also really good prices, too! Towards the back of their store, they have purses (I was so focused, I only saw purses, lol)!!!! Some were really unique... I wanted the spider purse, but I was remaining focused today! I found the perfect cream colored purse to go with the outfit I bought for my event for next weekend. They had some turquoise jewelery... I'm in the market for a turquoise ring, but I didn't find one for the finger I wanted it for. There are so many rings to look at her, not to mention the gorgeous necklaces that I need to buy next weekend!! I decided I was going to come back with my BESTIE so her and I can check out the hats together. We are super excited for our upcoming events and I think The Silver Store is the perfect place for us!!! Thank you so much, Mimi, for the warm welcome and radiant smile!!! See you soon!!

I would say the pricing is what you would expect for solid silver jewelry, it is something that I plan to save for so I can come back and buy more pieces to curate my collection.

The following Saturday I called them to ask when I can expect it to be done and they said they were working on it at the moment and should be done and cleaned up before they closed.
