    After my initial 1-star review in Dec 2025, a few emails have been exchanged, and my problem has…read morebeen solved to my satisfaction. Thank you. It shipped back to me in the same overstated, bulky box. I'd be happier to see the size reduced by 3/4 to better our environment.

    I'm really disappointed with our experience here…read more When we first walked in, we were greeted and initially assisted without any issues. However, once we sat down, things completely shifted. Our sales associate brought out two sets of ring options -- and then essentially disappeared. There was no walkthrough of metal options for men's or women's bands, no explanation of customization choices, and no guidance at all. We were just handed rings and left to figure it out ourselves. I kept having to ask, "Do you have more? Are there more options? Can I see more please?" It felt like pulling teeth just to see additional selections. At times, it genuinely felt like he was reluctant to show us more -- almost as if he just wanted to rush the process, get the order submitted, and move on. That's how it came across. What made it worse was noticing other couples being shown a much wider selection and having options thoroughly explained by their sales associates. They were being engaged with, educated, and guided through the process. We weren't even told additional options were available unless we specifically asked. The overall experience felt very cold and hands-off. I will say another associate kindly checked in on us and asked if we needed anything, which we appreciated -- and honestly, looking back, I wish we had accepted the help. But we wanted to give our assigned SA the opportunity to do his job. On top of that, everything had to be processed online, as they don't take payments in-store. We went ahead and placed our orders, but three hours later, we were still bothered by how disengaged and transactional the experience felt -- so we canceled. I'd rather spend my money somewhere that values customer experience, especially for something as meaningful as wedding rings. It's unfortunate because James Allen was always on my shortlist for wedding jewelry. After this experience -- and seeing similar reviews -- I won't be returning. I just hope the refund process is handled promptly.

    This Crystal, Candles, & Cauldrons shop was suggested to me when I asked about where to find decent…read morecrystals. Founded in 2007 and relocated to this location in 2008. They are in Hampden. Straight from their website, "at the corner of Roland Avenue and 36th Street. We are located in the rear of the Historic Hampden Hall building, with our entrance off of the rear parking lot." I was walking around that building for a bit before I found them, haha. If you see Truist along 36th Street, it's on the other side of it. This is their website https://www.wiccancrystal.com/ and they are also on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/crystalscandlescauldrons/ In the 'About Us' section on their website it states, "All of our items are hand picked for their quality, value and appeal. We carry all kinds of crystals, candles, and, yes, even cauldrons. In addition, we have a selection of over 100 tumbled stones, incense, oils, herbs, sterling silver jewelry, books, journals, faeries, figurines, wall hangings, tapestries, wind chimes, hoodoo kits, holy water, note cards, art prints, artist embellished prints, stickers, swords, athames, tarot cards, angel cards, bags & more!" and "We offer tarot readings, angel card readings, astrology charts, and animal communication readings. These are available by walk-in or appointments." It's a cozy shop with ALL THE THINGS! I was browsing all the different items, there are really so many... and so much that I've never seen elsewhere! Very unique and niche. There are different 'walking altars' around the shop for different things. I asked a worker about this, and she explained to me the different purposes for them. I thought that was pretty cool. I decided to ask the staff for recommendations for a gift to a coworker. They expertly suggested to me different things that had different purposes and explained them to me. They were so knowledgeable! I decided on a door hanger made of selenite and black tourmaline crystals. This offered protection, grounding, and balance. They also explained that selenite is a softer stone and to avoid getting it wet as water could break it down. Something I would've never known! I included that information with my gift. Thanks to the awesome staff for helping me with my purchase! They also had a spinning display with different cards. The one that said "Kind People Are The Best Kind Of People" really spoke to me, so I got that to include with my gift. I like that it's a one stop shop for all your needs :) Will definitely return here when I'm in the area!

    Small, selective inventory, and great staff. A tiny hidden gem!…read more *Superb* candle, crystal, herb, oil, and incense selections (and better candles than I find in most other places). Not the best place to go for books, but it's so good otherwise that I won't complain. This is a metaphysical shop for serious practitioners, with a friendly staff willing to teach newcomers.

    It looked pretty small when I entered, since it does share a space with a yoga studio. That aside,…read moreeven before I noticed that the shop actually spans the entire hallway adjacent to the yoga spaces and a small area in the back, I was already enjoying browsing the jewelry and small stones near the entrance. The shop has several different sizes of Tibetan singing bowls, stained glass home decor, a wide selection of tarot card decks, some apparel, and more stones in the back area. My nephew selected several small stones and was super happy when the clerk let him choose from a bunch of decorative pouches to store them in when we checked out. All in all, it's a cute shop jam packed with stuff for crystal enthusiasts, so I'd definitely go back. Note: Don't look for the name on the marquee because only the yoga studio's on there (Samskara Yoga and Healing). It's easy to miss if you're moving quickly, but it's right next to a swimming school--which is not as easy to miss. Enjoy!

The store is right next to Cubasi in the wegmans shopping center! Bought some really pretty crystals and they offer some nice classes! Everything is fairly priced and all products are ethically sourced and fair trade! Also super Covid cautious which is nice! Samskara and Pawsitive Angels (for owners and pets) are within the same building! Support this local business!
