My ring looks awful after gentle wear. I don't wear it anymore because of that. The person I contacted at the store was totally rude and made me so uncomfortable. There are way better places to shop. For reference, I have a ring on every finger from lovely stores on Fourth Street that have worn beautifully and look amazing. This one is horrible. Go elsewhere.

I have shopped here since they were located in Temescal and always had great experiences there. Unfortunately, the move seems to have come with a shift in attitude. I stopped by a few days before Christmas to buy earrings for my partner and was actually insulted about not looking 'chic' enough to enter. I don't enjoy leaving a negative review but it was an incredibly upsetting experience during an already stressful holiday season—a time when buying gifts should feel joyful. The jewelry from the artists they carry is top-notch, which is why I specifically sought this place out, so I ended up buying the exact piece I wanted directly from the artist for a better price. I’ll be skipping the boutique pretension and supporting artists directly from now on.

Very sad and disappointed with the customer service. I asked “how much” for one of their rings and their answer was “that one is too expensive”, to then look at their tablet and check the price (and this is just one example). No questions about what I was looking for or anything, they show no interest and made the experience intimidating. My recommendation for the staff is to go on a field trip to other jewelry stores and experience them, like next door jewelry store that has an exceptional customer experience.

Had to get a ring resized quickly for an upcoming trip and Laur was super patient and kind in answering our questions and helping us through the process. Will likely return for wedding bands!
