I purchased a jade bracelet yesterday from this store for more than $10,000 as a surprise for my wife. The seller told me that she purchased the jade in 1960's and then cut it and made the jewlery. My wife was worried that the seller does not provide any grading report, so she asked opinions from three professionals. They all told us that the jade is a very cheap kind of jade and each piece is thin. The real value is very very cheap.I then read a review 11 years ago yelp.com/user_details?us…. The unfortunate reviewer had exactly the same experience as me. Please followers do not repeat our mistakes. I will file a credit card dispute after the transaction is posted. If that will not resolve the problem I will have to make a lawsuit. At the same time, I can see that most transactions by this seller are about small and cheap pieces. And typically there is no grading reports for small jewelry and antiques. This shop seems set up for such kind of tricks.

A hidden gem! I came across the shop when walking in downtown and decided to hop in. Walked away with an amazing wedding gift for my friend thanks to the help of the lovely lady at the store. The shop has a myriad of unique items and is fairly priced imo. Check it out!

STORE ATTENDANT HAD A TERRIBLE ATTITUDE ,EXTREMELY RUDE on November 23, 2021 I made a point go to BK Collection to get some scented candles because I wanted to support local small business . The middle aged Asian store attendant ( owner?) with short hair pointed me to the scented candles which were facing a wall near the entrance. She then went away. I proceeded to take off my mask to smell the candles to find a scent I liked ( how else could I find out which scent I liked?) After a few minutes, when I was just about to decide which two I would like to purchase, the attendant ( owner?) came and said," I don't feel comfortable for you to touch all the candles , and could you put on your mask." I said, I need to take off my mask because I needed to smell the scents, and there was no sign in the store saying I should not touch the merchandise. She pulled a long face and said," well, that's the rule.";, then walked away. I went to Safeway and nobody told me I should not be touching the fruits! I took off the mask in the store , but I was facing the wall where the candles were, and I was not talking to anyone or coughing in the middle of the store! The way she spoke to me was so condescending and obviously , she did not want me there. I left the store and went straight to the Bluemercury , I asked the attendant there if I could take off my mask to smell the scented candles, she said," of course!" i bought two candles at the Bluemercury in 5 minutes.
