This cozy little jewelry store truly deserves praise for its uniqueness…read more Now, I love jewelry. And most of my collection is sterling silver so, naturally, I would gravitate toward a store where the collection is primarily in silver (though they work in gold and other metals as well). But, while most such stores have a rather boring collection that I see again and again, I am always impressed by the wonders I encounter here. While Hi Ho Silver caries lovely classic silver rings with semi-precious stones and handsome chains, there are also some pieces that really need to be seen to be believed. There was an entire collection of two and three tone pendants (silver, brass and copper) that were translations of classic works of art! There was a pendant that was based on Klimt's "The Kiss", another based on Goya's "The Witches' Sabbath" and yet another based on Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring." And that was just three! There were quite a few more. One of the jewelers seemed very pleased with my and my friend's art historical knowledge and she chatted quite a bit about jewelry, art, mythology and folklore with us. As an anthropologist, I was really excited that one of her pieces was based on the Venus of Willendorf. My one reservation was that I have so much jewelry that I didn't find a piece that wouldn't simply live in my jewelry box. Though, to be fair, I wouldn't mind just taking one of these pieces out of a box and admiring it from time to time. My highest recommendations for a visit. Just keep in mind that they are closed on Mondays.

I've walked by this store so many times and always assumed it was over priced clutter made of glass. While it is a bit pricey, I did find some pretty earrings and ornaments there. Many items are made of cubic zirconia, in various colors, other items are made of natural materials like abalone shell and amber. There was plenty of crystal items too. The employees were nice and there were many pretty things to look at but the earrings I like seemed steep at $66 for CZs and an unmarked metal.

I was greeted cordially immediately on entering. I was served quickly (it was a weekday) and asked if I wanted anything to drink. Everyone I met there introduced themselves and asked my name. I was assisted by Liz, who went about her assessment efficiently but thoroughly and identified the pieces that were gold or silver, sorted them by quality, and weighed them. In less than an hour, she went through everything I had and offered what I considered a fair price for the pieces they would buy. Although it was a bit out of the way for me--about 45 minutes from my house--I would go back there to shop for or sell jewelry. Definitely worth the trip.

The initial person that greeted me was kind and charismatic, but once handed off to the guy that would actually help me, he examined my ring, called it a knock off, and when corrected that my husband designed the ring, he rolled his eyes and gave me a ya ok. Once rung up for getting my ring fixed I didn't feel like I had much choice. My rings were already taken and bagged up to be shipped off to wherever they outsource to. I was $165 deep. I wasn't shocked by that price, but once they gave me the itemized receipt I was. The diamond itself was $15!!! How the hell do you get to $165 from there? Swindling and being robbed in front of your face. I hate this place. I wouldn't have even gone in the first place, but there are so few trustworthy jewelers in the area. I will be looking elsewhere next time I have jewelry needs. Whatever you do, don't go there expecting to be treated with respect unless you come draped in diamonds and looking like you have a bag of cash.

My best friend and I scheduled our appointment with ease, and entered right on time. Parking here was a breeze!

We soon entered and was greeted by Maddy, who guided us through the entire process; the charm bar if we wanted to utilize it, the permanent jewelry bar, and the beautiful space surrounding in, including their ear piercing bar! Loved this location. We each left out buying a bracelet a piece, and we both had our next stack idea already in mind for our next visit! Cannot wait to book again.
