This was by far the biggest ripoff. This place is a scam! We paid $15 for 2 bags of gravel. Seriously. We got zero gemstones. It was a total waste of time and money. Usually you get some small pile of stones. We got some tiny clear quartz. That's it! Don't waste your time.

If you go there just to dig for rocks in a bucket of dirt, then this could be a 5-star experience…read more The jewelry side is just a mess. From my own experience, the sales people are VERY high pressure sales people. The lady tried to buy sympathy with me because she'd "been yelled at already a couple times today." The rocks are obviously of WAY inferior quality than you'll get at your local Wal-Mart and sterling silver jewelry is the cheapest thing around. The emeralds are a HUGE mistake. Go look on ebay for the cut & quality that you'll get from this place. The rocks that they claim cost them $80 per carat to cut you can buy online for $10 or less, not a problem. The emeralds come from Brazil, and I'm not so sure the one that you actually "find" is the one that they'll mount for you. They do it in 24 hours, so the odds that they have a stash in the back just cut & waiting to mount is high. How would we know? The other quote that kills me was that "If you take this ring to a jeweler, it'll appraise for 3-5 times as much as we're charging you for." Ummm, if you go online again and look up sterling silver jewelry with the cuts of rock they're putting in there, you can get the same thing for 1/3 to 1/5 or lower. Have fun digging out rocks from loaded buckets. DON'T BUY THE JEWELRY!

We were so impressed with just the atmosphere and warmth of the business that we came back for my husband to have ball barons, placed in a heavy diamond and gold ring as well as to have appraisals done on our other jewelry. If you happen to be in Knoxville ring or jewelry shopping, I highly recommend this store. They offer more than just high quality jewelry. They buy gold and silver coins etc. The customer service and variety of jewelry is a 10 out of 10.

Unfortunately, because of this experience, I cannot recommend this business.
