I emailed photos just trying to get info. It says they do appraisals. She emailed me back saying, after looking at them we can't help you. Well that's fine but I then asked if they recognize anything at all about them to help me and the response was, no I don't. No suggestions of anywhere to take it, no information at all to even try to help, nothing. Even if they are worth less, id appreciate anything other than No I don't.

I had chosen to pick through and purchase some coins in their "world silver coin" box, but I (after purchasing a large number) have disappointingly found a few coins that aren't silver at all - but copper nickel. Their pricing on this box was also very loose with the cashier taking a "rough mental average" of the purity of the coins and adding a "small" premium over spot. While I should've known better to pick only coins I'm familiar with and trusting this undisclosed "small premium", they shouldn't have had any non-silver coinage in the silver coinage bin. I'm sure it would be a headache, but separating the world coins based on purity and not a "rough average" would provide a MUCH better experience for the customer.

I've overheard them being helpful and kind to people with questions. It seems the store is stocked with products from small, local artisans; what's not to love about that?! There are tarot readings available by the 15, 30, and 60 minute slot every Saturday; tarot and palmistry on Fridays and Sundays; and, other events happening each month too (be sure to look at their board by the cash register)!

One arm had broken where the hinge attaches to the arm. It was a precision piece of very fine work that needed a strong mechanical outcome. Out of a number of queries, Cheryl was first to respond.

While in her shop it was unavoidable to see her current work on display. Being every watchful for jewelry for my sweetheart, I poured over the displays and found a ring like one that she had decades ago that had been lost. Turns out that Cheryl had a mold for that ring and agreed to cast a new ring for me to my specifications that I am now eagerly waiting to see. Cheryl and her work are a real find, well, she wasn't lost, I'm just late to the party ;)
