The owner took the time to explain sterling silver vs. silver plated and after 45 minutes, I left with a nice check for the sterling silver they bought from my stash. I believe the check would have been more if I had opted for store credit. Left very pleased and would highly recommend this store for all your jewelry needs. p,s, Owner actually talked me out of doing something with one of the watches because it would have cost more than the watch was worth!

Rob Piland is an extremely talented Goldsmith/Jewelry Designer. He specializes in Celtic designs. He makes everything from rings, wedding rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, torcs, and more! I commissioned Rob to take a Celtic Dragon Torc design he had just come out with - but to replace the eye area which normally would be silver - with Emerald green colored jewels for eyes. The Torc looks amazing - Rob is making a couple of tweaks to the Torc - I should have the completed work in about a month. Check 'em out on the web!

I invested in a gold ring, and the entire experience has been disappointing…read more First I had to wait months for the order, and when it arrived... the casting was downright sloppy (with flack and discoloration) and the wrong stone had been set (faceted instead of the signature cabochon style used in almost all of his pieces that I had reasonably assumed). I was told the sloppiness was due to an apprentice having cranked it out in a rush over holiday workload- so, you know, THAT made me feel better. In deliberating whether to keep or revise it after so much waiting, I asked if a cut stone was much more valuable than cabochon and got a very vague reply of essentially: "sometimes but not always." Thinking the value close and wanting the more masculine look, I paid to ship it back for resetting. An opportunity for proper council/communication from the vendor had been dropped. Another several weeks followed. At one point I was called and asked questions about my preferences already answered in an email I'd sent which had been "skimmed." Even after reiterating what I was hoping for, my input was ultimately ignored. I received the final ring only to find the stone to be of shockingly disappointing quality in cut, clarity, and color, relative to all the other pieces I've collected. It is dull, muddy with occlusions, and has a crack down the side of it. I feel personally slighted by this. Moreover, it is set so badly that it is loose enough to rattle loudly and be easily rotated in its setting. The vendor's pride had been bruised, and I was thus given what must be the cruddiest stone in the drawer. In subsequent communication I just learned that the faceted stone had been worth 5 times the cabochon's value- which means that I'd been initially charged a price based on that much higher valuation of a cut stone! This had not been communicated to me when I was deliberating what to do with it. Now I'm stuck with a shoddy ring that gives no pride or joy, that I technically overpaid for, and a bitter taste in my mouth. This vendor should be embarrassed by the way this has been handled from start to finish, and by the sloppy product he produced. *Update: took the ring to a real jeweler to be fixed and they were appalled by the poor craftsmanship and poor quality of the stone. Validation. If you want an overpriced silver ring by a craftsman with an inflated ego, go for it; but if you want to spend thousands on a piece of gold jewelry, find a real jeweler... there are plenty who craft in this pseudo-Celtic style with more talent and care.

The store has a great selection of beads and jewelry making supplies. There is also some clothing for people and American girl dolls. Susan (the owner) has carefully catalogued the source of seemingly every product in the store. She was even able to tell me the name of the tribe in Thailand that silversmiths who handmade my gorgeous earrings are from. Unfortunately, I forgot pretty much immediately. This would be a 5 star review, but the things that make this shop such a refreshing find are also negatives for many shoppers. The store is really small. The space is set up nicely, so even in the small space, shopping feels like a treasure hunt. A small shop also means limited selection as far as styles and sizes of clothing offered. Overall, I had a lovely experience shopping at Shenandoah Moon and would recommend visiting the shop.

I try to support small businesses in my community, but my experience with Grace Jewelers was…read moreincredibly disappointing and unacceptable. I brought in my wedding band to repair a diamond that had fallen out. The owner, Sovanna, personally confirmed the estimate and repair time. I paid nearly $500 for the repair, and picked it up a week later as promised. Just five days later, the exact same diamond fell out again. When I returned, instead of listening to me or reviewing the repair, Sovanna immediately accused me of bringing in a different issue. He dismissed the diagram he had drawn himself on the repair envelope, told me "you are unbelievable," and flat-out accused me of lying. I even showed him photos I had submitted to my insurance company to prove it was the same diamond, but he continued to argue with me. Only after re-examining the ring did he finally admit he was wrong and say he owed me an apology. There are two serious problems here: The workmanship failed in less than a week. The owner treated me with hostility and disrespect, rather than professionalism, even when the mistake was his. A repair should last longer than five days, and no customer should be accused of dishonesty when simply asking for the work to be corrected. Based on this experience, I strongly recommend taking your jewelry (and your trust) elsewhere.
