They also have virtual art shows featuring new artists every month, offering them platform to show off new work in a time where it might not otherwise happen.

I had an incredibly unpleasant experience here…read more It was a beautiful day and we were walking around U Village, shopping and browsing, and decided to stop into this store since I had never been before. When we walked in, there was no greeting, which wasn't a big deal--we continued browsing. Eventually, one of the employees asked, "Looking for something?" We said nothing specifically, just browsing, and continued looking around. I found a few pieces I liked and asked if I could try something on. While trying on a Spinelli ring, I asked whether they carried it in other colors. The response was, "Well, we can order it for you if you wanted." The tone came across as incredibly dismissive. I then asked about the materials and how the mixed metals hold up with wear. The response was essentially, "Well, it's jewelry. It has wear and tear as you wear it." I was honestly taken aback. I wasn't asking an unreasonable question--I was genuinely trying to understand how the piece would hold up before potentially spending a significant amount of money on it. I explained that I own other mixed-metal jewelry and had experienced issues where the metals rubbing against each other affected the shape over time. She responded, "Well, I've never heard of that happening, and that makes no sense." At that point, I was just stunned by the level of condescension. I have never experienced customer service like this at a jewelry store, especially one selling pieces at this price point. I genuinely felt like I was being treated as though I didn't know what I was talking about rather than having a normal conversation with a potential customer. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was that we were the only younger, non-white customers in the store at the time. I can't say for certain why we were treated this way, and I don't want to make assumptions, but I couldn't help wondering whether our age, race, or even the way we were dressed influenced how we were perceived. We weren't dressed particularly fancy that day, but that shouldn't determine whether someone receives basic courtesy and respect. Ironically, I've received better customer service at Happy Lemon. I was genuinely interested in several pieces and would have been willing to spend a significant amount of money here, but after this experience, I wouldn't purchase anything from this store. There are plenty of other places where I can spend my money and be treated with basic respect. Very disappointing experience, and unfortunately I would not recommend this store.

As it turned out, one of the stones I was looking for was a very tricky find given the specs I was after, and I'm so grateful for how much patience Christine had for the sourcing process.

I loved getting to see the final-contender stones in person, and the finished ring turned out even more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Excellent craftsmanship and it's truly exactly what I was hoping for and more! How often does that happen in life?

The shop is beautiful, the selection was lovely and the service was great. It was exactly what we were looking for! Now, I have to say that we did not book ahead, we just dropped in, which I recommend doing. We had previously made the huge mistake of scheduling an appointment with the other place in Bellevue (which requires a credit card), so when we decided we didn't want to purchase anything, we got charged $25 (for looking at their bracelet selection for like 5 mins!), which felt very predatory. I've noticed that permanent jewelry places often require some type of deposit, which is completely ridiculous. I am not sure whether Storica has the same policy, but since we just dropped in, it wasn't an issue at all. Their jewelry is beautiful and it wasn't hard to find something we both loved. I totally recommend this place and will be back if I decide to get something else.

Wow. I am mystified how I could have had such a different experience than everyone else here! And…read moreseriously, I am generally a forgiving, understanding, and accommodating person; just look at my other reviews. However my 5 minutes in this jewelry shop was 5 of the most unpleasant minutes I've ever spent doing business with any retailer. Firstly, a large white dog was present who barked loudly and at length. I mean, loudly! The dog barked incessantly for some time after we arrived, then calmed down enough for me to converse with the jeweler, then ramped up again when another customer entered. My partner's Apple Watch told her that she was in a dangerously loud environment. The entire back half of the shop was gated off to provide a space for this dog. This no doubt colored my experience talking to the jeweler. I brought in a mid-century pearl necklace and bracelet set. It was clear that the necklace needed restringing but it appeared that the bracelet just needed a new clasp ring. The jeweler looked at the bracelet and said, "This needs restringing." I asked why it needed restringing and he repeated that it did need restringing. I asked why he couldn't just replace the ring, and he said, "because it needs to be soldered." I didn't see what that had to do with anything so I asked again and he said, "because it needs to be restrung." Holy moley. I asked again and he said, "because I need some string there to attach it to". I asked why he couldn't attach the ring to the other ring that was still attached to the pearls and he replied, "because it needs to be soldered." Now, I wasn't questioning his expertise. I just need to understand the work that is proposing. So I persisted and said, "Why can't you solder a ring on?" He said, "Because it would harm the pearl next to it." OK, that I can understand, but I felt exasperated that he hadn't been forthcoming. He then explained other reasons why it needed to be restrung. This was educational and interesting, and by then I was convinced that the piece needed to be restrung, but I was left with the feeling that he himself was exasperated with me. I think I would have rebounded from this had his dog not started barking loudly again at just that moment. It was impossible to speak over the barking, and no apology or explanation from the jeweler. The very presence of this dog felt like an insult to me as a customer. The jeweler then went and attended to the customer who'd just entered and spent about 3 minutes with her, without excusing himself from our interaction. I packed up my pearls and left because I knew I didn't want to ever enter that space again. Somehow the other customer was able to accomplish what she needed done despite the barking, and she departed with a smile on her face. She had her own [well behaved] dog so perhaps that gave her a pro-barking bias. I give two stars because this guy probably does excellent work like everyone else here says he does. Otherwise, negative stars for my experience.
