I can't believe I get to be the first to review. We have such a special story about GBG. My…read morehusband (boyfriend at the time) took a winter trip up to Blowing Rock years ago. We happened across this quaint wonderful little store as we were exiting the candle shop. He said, let's go in and look around. Inside we were greeted by the most wonderful father and daughter team. We were lucky enough that one of their gems dealers was in town for that weekend only. I was able to find a beautiful, vintage sapphire stone in an heirloom piece of jewelry. Long story short, I fell so much in love with it that my husband bought and it and it became the center of my engagement ring. I get more compliments than you can imagine on the work and setting they created for me. Truly one of a kind. Keep in mind this is everything that a jeweler should be. Many of them are handmade pieces, crafted with the most loving of care. This is not a chain; this is a family owned business. You will not find a better jeweler anywhere. They are the epitome of the jewelry craft in my opinion. We will be visiting Blowing Rock this fall sometime to see the changing of the colors and I will be sure to stop in again. Please take time to visit this wonderful shop, especially if you are saving up for a truly beautiful piece.

It's nice to be able to leave a 5-star review to an establishment like Garon's. I'm fairly picky,…read moredon't give out 5-star ratings very often, but I feel it's a well deserved rating. Terrific place, with super nice folks who work there. Garon, the owner, is one swell guy to work with. Big jewelry store in a seemingly small building. Lots of inventory from watches to all kinds of jewelry; I can't imagine a person not being able to find what they're looking for there. I just went in for a watch battery. It was not only replaced in a few minutes, but for $8, a person couldn't ask for a fairer price than that. I'm relatively new to the area, and had probably driven by 1000 times before I knew they were there. A friend turned me on to Garon's, and said he's been going there for decades. I was as impressed by the store as I was with its owner and staff. Garon's will most definitely be my go-to place from here on out.

The ring I got for my Fiancee (now wife) is an absolute gem (hold applause for puns please). The owner Garon, his wife, and Michael were all great. When I found a problem with my ring after purchase I mailed it to them and they fixed the problem at no cost. Considering this involved them actually replacing the diamond with a higher quality one, this is unheard of in modern business. Do not go to Jared, do not go to Zales, go here!

I purchased a 24" gold chain here years ago. It broke and it was warrantied by them. Then a new…read moreowner took over this past year. After exchanging the broken chain directly from the manufacturer it was returned to me. Unfortunately I broke it again recently but recalled the new owner saying they intended to warranty all prior sales so I returned today to see what they would do. They remembered me, were helpful and offered the same warranty as when I originally purchased it. In fact they had said that if they had one in stock they would exchange it and then just get a replacement for mine. So I asked and they had the identical gold chain in stock. Without hesitation they exchanged it for a minimal restocking fee and I left the store. For those who remember what made Sear what it was - they stood behind their sales and like their craftsman tools warrantied and replaced the tools "no questions asked for a lifetime ". So did Brand Jewelry today. A great reflection on their business model.

I drooled at the stunning array of rings, pendants and bracelets! I had been told earlier that day by my hubby that if I wanted a piece of jewelry for my Birthday/ Christmas present, I could choose whatever I wanted! So hard to choose, but got it narrowed down to a vintage Baume & Mercier solid gold hidden watch bracelet or a diamond necklace. I went with the bracelet, (but will probably get the necklace too). Don't hesitate to visit this gem of a store! They have so many styles and pieces that you are sure to find something perfect. The prices were unbelievable, I was expecting to pay 3 times what I did! The quality and workmanship is amazing, unlike major jewelry stores now. With gold prices these days, those stores are making their jewelry as thin and cheap as possible. Always buy quality vintage jewelry!
