I'm usually very punctual about leaving, so clearly I was very comfortable. It was such a fun visit that I will definitely stop in on our next trip to Yachats.

This has really turned into one of my favorite little shops in Waldport! The rocks and crystals are…read morewhat initially drew me in, and what I continue stopping in for. They also have a nice selection of beads and jewelry though if that's more your thing. The shop is a little small and walkways are narrow, so I always feel like I have to be extra careful not to knock anything over while walking through it, but after enough visits I think I have finally got it down. If there are a lot of people already inside looking around, I'd say it's maybe best to wait for it to clear out a little bit. Just to be safe. Plus you can take that time to look at what they have on display outside. My first couple visits, that were a few months apart, I didn't really notice much difference in stock. I can see it better now though, because I take more time looking at EVERYTHING each time I'm there. They always have the same stuff in stock, like Clear Quartz for example, but now that I pay more attention I can tell it's always new, unique pieces that weren't there before. This goes for the other staple crystals/rocks/fossils they sell as well. I like this because I always wait for a piece to really stand out to me before buying to add to my collection. My favorite part of this shop is that they have a range of items when it comes to expense. They have larger, more expensive pieces as well as smaller ones that are more affordable (what I always go for). Secondly, I love that they have so many NATURAL pieces. I actually prefer the dings, chips, dirt, "flaws" in my crystals. Of course those aren't the only options, just what I tend to go for and I really appreciate that these pieces are available here as well. Lastly, both the woman and man I've met working here are lovely. They even slip in a couple small gifts occasionally. I'm obviously a big fan and intend on continuing stop by when I'm around the area, but I'd also recommend this shop to others, if this sort of thing interests you and you are already passing through.

McKenzie graciously took care of it for me and after visiting awhile I asked her opinion on my diamond wedding ring, which I'd had worked on by a jeweler at home. I'd never been happy with the work the hometown guy had done. McKenzie suggested an easy fix (her term, not mine) if I was willing to leave the ring a few days. When I returned my ring was so beautiful all I could do was repeatedly say "Wow". And then she refused to charge me! Of course, while visiting the store I had to peruse the amazing selection of new and antique jewelry. In the end, my husband had to drag me away from a stunning pair of diamond and emerald earrings.

They took detailed photos of the ring before, which were included on the estimate and receipt, and gave a clear estimate of what to expect.

I really felt like everyone was friendly and helpful!

About a year ago, I brought a ring in to Olufson to inquire about having it appraised. The sales…read moreassociate was nice, told me they don't do appraisals, and that they generally don't recommend an appraisal them unless you are planning on selling the ring (strange advice if you ask me. I wanted to have it appraised for insurance). I don't think she knew that I brought the ring in a year or two earlier to have the gem identified (it was an inherited ring and we didn't know what the gem was). And I was told at the time that it was a high quality gem with high quality diamonds on it. She offered to buy it on the spot for $388. I politely declined knowing that the ring was likely worth a lot more. I finally had it appraised and the replacement value is off the charts. I know that replacement/insurance value is not equal to a purchase/selling price AT ALL, but the gold alone is worth 10x what they offered me. So shady. I would never go back to Olufson after this. Moral of the story: Always ALWAYS get a second opinion. Never sell jewelry on the spot. And maybe avoid Olufson.

Since I couldn't find how to edit my existing review, I submit my edited and updated review here:…read more HIGHLY recommended. Walked in to this cute little jewelry store and in less than 15 minutes, I'd found the perfect engagement ring, a beautiful vintage white gold filigree and diamond, for my fiancee. Surprised (pleasantly) at the price. Spoke with Mike Anderson on that day and on future days, and the man is simply honest, straightforward, pleasant, capable and deeply knowing of his business. His fee for adjusting the ring size, also surprisingly affordable. I cannot, cannot recommend this place and this man highly enough. UPDATE: I returned a couple months later, after the above, to Mike Anderson to talk about wedding bands. He sized me, showed me different styles and fits, and we quickly got to exactly what I was looking for. Three or so days later, he called, had found a vintage ring that was exactly for me (vintage / estate, 14k white gold, comfort fit). It was sized and refitted for me, and I now have my perfect, beautiful, shining wedding band for my coming nuptials. Again, I was quite pleasantly surprised at the cost to me. Affordable! Most recently, as my fiancee and I just happened to be passing his store, we ventured in to see if Mike could perform the "hat-trick" of wordly miracles. We were in the store, total, for perhaps 45 minutes, but even before that much time had passed, he'd found her band for us. This time the band was already on site. Just having started his inventory search, and with another, older couple patiently waiting, he asked from the back of his store, "are you interested in an antique?" We enthusiastically answered Yes! He brought out the ring for her. A delicate, beautiful, decoratively engraved 18k white gold vintage band...one that matched perfectly her engagement ring. The wedding band was slightly snug on her, so he offered to have the ring stretched slightly--something I hadn't even known was possible. Since I was sensitive to price and wanted to know but did not want to discuss with fiancee present, a couple of winks between us and he understood. He offered to inquire with his jeweler / craftsman about the feasibility of the stretch, then told me he'd call me on Sunday with the result after conference with his crafter. He dutifully called me on Sunday. I missed the call. He kindly gave me the price (once again, surprisingly affordable), knew enough implicitly to leave the ring with crafter (despite not reaching me directly) and await official agreement as well my official purchase when we spoke next. This is the kind of business we are talking about. In all appearances and experience with him, honor and skill and care are all rolled into one with this Mike Anderson. Never in my life did I dare dream of such an easy, fortuitious, even providential experience in finding and procuring all three of the most vital material elements of a holy union. God bless Mike Anderson, along with much gratitude from me. He indeed performed the hat-trick.
