Anything but gracious. I went to the store to have a necklace repaired and was met with distain and…read morearrogance. The teller seemed annoyed with my request to repair a sentimental necklace, said he could, then came back with an excuse that he didn't have the right parts for the minuscule repair. He was the most unkind teller I've ever interacted with. Go somewhere (anywhere) else and get what you need.

The jeweler there charged me $30 each to replace the watch batteries in two watches ($60 total) and…read moreI stupidly agreed. This did cause me to buy my own battery changing gear on Amazon (around $15 or so). Now I can easily change my own watch batteries - no problem. I just think that this was dishonest on his part, so I'll never go there for anything again.

I had an excellent experience having them resize my ring. I was turned away by several jewelers in…read morethe area because the ring I needed resized contains a lab grown diamond and apparently most places won't touch them unless you bought it there. I called ahead to ask Grant Laughter and he said "if you love it, we love it. We can absolutely do that for you." I was greeted and assisted by the owner himself who thoroughly went over my options and helped me choose a plan for resizing. I paid under $100 and had my ring back within three weeks. It turned out perfectly. These guys are fantastic.

Kat, the buyer, took her time inspecting each item, and, as she did, she explained their value and stated the amount she was prepared to give me for that piece. I thought her offers were honest and fair, so I sold all of the items to her as the representative of the company. I would return there in a heartbeat if I ever again have jewelry to sell.

She carries fine art and sculptures as well as affordable beaded jewelry, pottery, wood-working pieces, Obaku watches and gorgeous jewelry of all kinds made by local artisans. Just my kind of place! Many people know about Asheville, but I don't think as many know about Black Mountain, which is only a 20 minute drive up I-40 from Asheville. It's such a charming little town with so many fun stores, galleries and restaurants. And Bella Gallery is definitely worth a visit!
