All the jewelry was out of this world amazing and the lady running the stand offered for us to come back and design our own engagement rings . We both were over the moon about the idea and cant wait to go back and start designing!! The entire experience was wonderful, very welcoming and personal. I cant wait to see what beautiful designs we come up with. (Fingers crossed he pops the question soon!) See you soon Lone wolf! :)

You do have to watch your kids in this store because there's a lot of breakable items in here and there are signs not to touch and not to use your cell phone. I would say the name of this store is misleading because there's are very few Yosemite souvenirs. We came in for keychains, sweatshirts, etc but left with some cool energy gems instead! Prices are high.

My family and I had a very uncomfortable experience at this gift shop. The employee continuously…read morewatched and followed us around the store the entire time, even while there were other customers nearby that she paid no attention to. It made us feel singled out and unwelcome, and honestly came across as discriminatory and racist behavior. Instead of being able to shop comfortably, we felt pressured and judged the whole time. Customer service should make people feel welcome, not targeted. We ended up leaving and found a much better gift shop across the street with amazing customer service, friendly staff, and better items/prices as well. We were treated with kindness there, which made the difference very obvious. We definitely would not recommend this shop to anyone. Businesses that treat customers this way do not deserve support.

This review is for the Mariposa Mineral & Gem show. We attended this weekend and had a really great…read moretime! Mariposa is a bit out of the way for us, but my geology instructor told us about this and we really wanted to attend. The drive up is pleasant, with good scenery, and the fairgrounds are very easy to find. The best part was, the entire show was free! I don't think I've ever been to any other shows like this that were free. I had planned to buy things so not having an entrance fee made it even better. There were two indoor buildings completely full of vendors. They were selling jewelry, rare mineral specimens, fossils and even gold prospecting equipment. Everyone we talked to was really friendly (that seems to be how rock people are!) and no one was overly pushy. Outdoors were food vendors and my personal favorite, geode cutting! There were bins of geodes of all different sizes and you could choose which one you wanted and they would cut it open for $2. The prices were very reasonable. I ended up choosing a nice one, and I felt like a 5-year-old as I opened it for the first time. As the man who cut it said, I was the first person to see inside of it for millions of years! We plan to be back next year. I highly recommend it! Also the Mariposa State Mining & Mineral Museum was also free this weekend.

I can't say enough great things about Sonora Jewelry! If you're looking for a place that truly…read morevalues honesty and fairness, this is it. Louis and Natalie are incredibly genuine people who make the entire process comfortable and stress-free. When I brought in my gold and silver, they took the time to explain everything clearly--how items are evaluated, current market values, and exactly how they determine pricing. There was no pressure, no confusion--just transparency and respect. What really stood out was how fair their offer was. It's obvious they care about treating customers right, not just making a quick profit. That kind of integrity is rare these days. If you're thinking about selling jewelry, gold, or silver, I highly recommend Sonora Jewelry. Louis and Natalie have built a business you can truly trust, and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Feels Like Home in Historic Mariposa!…read more Wow! Walking into Mariposa Marketplace right now, I'm instantly wrapped in that cozy Gold Rush charm--the historic John Trabucco building from the late 1800s greets me with its high ceilings, warm wooden floors, and sunlight streaming through the windows. The atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxed, like stepping into a time capsule where I can just slow down, breathe in the old-town air, and browse without a care. The antiques here are pure magic: everywhere I look, there are beautifully displayed vintage glassware, ornate furniture pieces, quirky collectibles, and one-of-a-kind treasures that feel full of stories. Everything's well-kept, thoughtfully arranged, and priced so reasonably--I could spend all afternoon hunting for that perfect find. This spot captures exactly what I love about small-town California: genuine character, friendly vibes, and antiques that make me smile. If you're anywhere near Mariposa or Yosemite, come experience it yourself--you'll feel right at home too!

Well Today I walked in ready to make a purchase with cash. The blonde lady was not very helpful and tried to push me off. I wanted to look at a ring in the display case as I wanted to purchase 3 rings total. I feel I was profiled and stereotyped because I just came from the gym in athletic clothes. As I was pretty much pushed away I pulled out a large amount of cash and will be taking my business elsewhere. In this day and age I was unaware that small businesses can pick and choose who they serve. I'll take my business to a place who will treat me like a customer should be treated! Lesson learned. Don't judge a book by its cover. At least the dark haired lady whom helped me last time was nice and kind.

Quite a peculiar store I stumbled upon in Mariposa, in the midst of CA-140 highway…read more Bling N Things is located next to historic John Trabucco building, which hosts the Mariposa Marketplace dealer shops with art, hand crafts, and other treasures. Bling N Things is in a two story old wooden building that used to be the 49er Club, where local folks could have an old fashion dinner and dance. It was Randy's 49er Pub, the oldest bar in town, where bikers are welcome, "Where good friends meet and smoking is allowed", that's how old it was. So country rock, shuffleboard, pool & darts were replaced by a unique boutique called Bling N Things. It has a little bit of everything. I saw some furniture in old Victorian style and a bed showcasing the linens and country quilts, throws, framed prints, paintings and other home decor. I saw collectibles and clothes, a collection of eclectic items, home and garden products, gifts, funny printed t-shirts, good for the laughs and memories, and finally, candies and truffles for sale, such as Oopsy Daisy - Coconut Salted Caramels, Darth Vegan - Black Coffee, Godfather with Rum, Blame Canada Dark Chocolate/Maple, Cowgirl - Salted Caramel, etc. If you have time, do check it out, you never know what kind of treasure you can find here. Worse case scenario, you'll leave with some candy and fun memories to keep that are yours alone.
