Great experience with ring resizing and cleaning…read more I went in on my lunch break with a ring that needed to be stretched out a bit. I was immediately greeted when I walked in and all the staff I spoke with were kind and courteous. Not only did they help me right then and there, but they cleaned my engagement ring while my other ring was being stretched. Their service was very fast, and I'll definitely be back. Happy to support one of our great local businesses!

I brought in a couple watches for resizing and work was done quickly and for a great price.

Jeff was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the entire range of watch brands. I have my eye on a couple watches I want to buy and will return!

It never even crossed my mind to go to another jewelry store when the time came for me to purchase an engagement ring. When I told Mike and Kara I was in the market the were so excited for me and sourced a bunch of diamonds for me to look at. They made the process of picking everything out exciting and fun. Mike truly is one of the most welcoming business owners in Vermont and you will realize this after taking a few steps through the front door. Check out Karlise! I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!

This is a curated vintage collection, beautifully displayed, a marriage of old and new, offered alongside Molly's own sophisticated jewelry line.

NOT to be TRUSTED. I paid him $15 to change my watch battery. When I returned to pick it up, he…read moresaid, "I set the 'Time' but not the 'Month' or the 'Date'." Honestly I rarely use these, so trying to be kind, I told him, "NBD, I use my phone for that" .... But, then it stopped ticking 2 days later. When I returned to the store, I requested he place a new battery in & asked that he show me the package (so I could check the expiration date). He walked out from the back with just the expired battery he removed from my watch to show me. So, I said, "No, I want to see the package of the NEW battery you're putting in, so I know it's NOT EXPIRED." He returned with his supply (i.e., 2 batteries: both expired 2020). I asked him for my $15 back, and he REFUSED because he said I did not have my receipt. Then, to make matters worse! ... on my Google 1-STAR Review of LIPPA's he lied, saying he "could not find my name anywhere in his computer system" ~ trying to make it appear as if I had the wrong Jewelry Store (funny... He never did ask for my name today; he simply stated without my yellow receipt, he would not REFUND ME $15 for dishonestly placing an EXPIRED 2020 WATCH BATTERY in my wrist watch) A THIEF is a THIEF (thieves always lie; they have, or they get caught) and a LIE is a LIE: a Tiger doesn't change their stripes, no matter how big, or small their kill is. LIPPA's does NOT DESERVE Anyone's BUSINESS, or TRUST. ~ I suppose if I walked in with an expensive suit & tie to buy an engagement ring, he would have had the decency to behave himself better & not steal from someone 65 y.o. on a fixed income. Shame on this man & his mother who raised him.

Buying rings can be an overwhelming experience but Mike and the staff were super helpful on site and thoroughly went over questions such as what we wanted; what was important to us; likes/dislikes; etc - and used that info to narrow the focus and show us options that would potentially work. Both the bride and groom are super happy with the results and Lippa's wedding bands will be with us the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Lippa's.

Tim was so wonderfully patient with me as I asked about various pieces and jewelry processes, and had lots of knowledge about everything I asked about. I really appreciate how Tim was able to say when he didn't know something, rather than pretend to know. He resized my ring right in front of me, making adjustments as needed to fit me PERFECTLY. If you want a piece of jewelry, come here if you want it done right. I will be returning. This was everything one could ask for in a jewelry shop experience, I can't wait to see what they make next!
