My husband and I stopped into Orca Jewelers looking for a piece of jewelry to remember our 25th wedding anniversary trip to Alaska. The staff was welcoming but not pushy. I found a beautiful necklace that was properly priced (no mark ups you need to heckle down). If you are looking for quality jewelry this is the place.

The staff at orca jewels was so amazingly nice and uplifting. Not pushy like most jewelry people. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted so I explained my wants for a piece and they had some very good recommendations which all of them where very stunning. I highly recommend Orca Jewels.
