What a delightful experience! I was days away from getting married, and could not find an antique piece of jewelry to match my orange dress. I called Hanne and was so relieved when she agreed to meet me. I found a piece I liked, but it was a brooch. No problem, she pulled out her tools and made it into a necklace in a matter of minutes. I was blown away by her passion for this work, her knowledge, kindness and swift assistance. She came in and helped me in a pinch. Her selection is not large, but it is well chosen and worth looking, not to mention affordable.

A Jeweler's Place Review
Carol at A Jeweler's Place helped me design the perfect engagement ring for my fiancee. My fiancee's mother died when she was young and because she was the only girl in the family, her father gave me her mother's engagement ring so that I could use the diamonds in an engagement ring for her. I loved this idea and knew that my (now) fiancee would be elated. So, after talking to my sister and having her recommend Carol at A Jeweler's Place, I headed down with the ring and not a foggy clue as to how I would turn it into a new ring for my fiancee. Carol was amazingly patient and helpful and asked me several questions about my fiancee's style and what I could imagine her wearing on her finger. After a long time looking through books and the rings they had in-stock, we designed the perfect setting for my fiancee's mother's diamond. Three week's later, the ring arrived and it was even better than I had imagined. My fiancee was, as expected, overjoyed by the ring. I am so grateful for all of Carol's help and talent and I have been referring everyone I can to her.

Elle-Même Review
Basically, If you are looking for jewelry that no one else has, vintage style, elegant and sassy, this is the store, I would not go anywhere else. In fact I have never seen a store that has this kind of jewelry and service. The women who run this store know exactly what they are talking about. They obviously have a designer eye, because I don't always see what goes with what, but I'm not left in the dark, they spend time with me, to pick out exactly what I am looking for and they actually enjoy it. I love the store, did I mention that? Go there to buy anything for your lady or man, or dress for some wedding that you don't want to look all conventional, or maybe you do, they have jewelry for that style too. I just did not want to look like someone who belonged on top of cake for this wedding I went to, and these girls knew exactly what I was talking about.
