“I went here to get rid of some jewelry I no longer wanted. Brent was very friendly and very welcoming. He was honest and was not pushy. I love his process of first having a phone call with you, then having you come into his office. He makes you feel safe through the whole process. I would definitely recommend him and will be back”

“Warm, inviting Moroccan home goods store. The owner was so kind and welcoming and I felt free to browse at my leisure. I found a pretty candle holder and would be back if I were searching for a unique gift for someone. Definitely worth checking out!”
“I really enjoyed working with Alisa and David! They were very communicative and informative, worked very quickly, and the ring is stunning. I will recommend them to everyone I know who needs a ring.”
“It's an amazing place you must visit in Ashland — a great collection of jewelry, historical artifacts, art, stones, unique decor and much more. The owners are engaged in the local art community, organizing parties occasionally one of which I was happy to visit.”
“I took May's Belt making class and had so much fun! May is incredibly friendly and walked us through the process with aplomb. She also encouraged us to be creative and experiment in our own way. It was all around a great time and I'd look forward to taking another class with May.”
“I wanna let you know since I moved to Northern California in 1997. I have dealt with these professionals and by far it’s the most honest dealers in the state. In my opinion I do regret selling my hundred ounce silver bar. I was getting loans you know cause I need it for other aggressive investments I was so tired of
watching the silver market. It was like watching grass grow or paint dry. wish I would’ve listened to the gentleman’s advice at the store just told me to keep holding, but you know me. I’m just so impatient expecting immediate result. I need to start listening to people know what they’re doing.”
“Yan was incredible to work with — far and away the best customer experience of any vendor we consulted for our wedding (and we consulted a lot!). She sat down with us, listened carefully to what we wanted, and brought a wealth of ideas and expertise to help us find the rings we loved. She made everything — pricing, long-term care, all of it — easy to understand. The free cleanings for life and help connecting us with insurance were huge added bonuses. Could not recommend her more.”
“I was having dinner at a new restaurant down the street and noticed all the amazing plants they had. I especially noticed this huge philodendron of some sort and asked the waitress where they got them so she sent here and glad she did as I had no idea this place even existed. They have no social media presence but I guess they don't need it. I bought a few cute plants and some pots. I also bought a couple gifts items like a framed butterfly and an olive oil soap.”
“Super knowledgeable and nice here. It’s not a huge store but has a pretty good variety of crystals and stones. Even has sage for nudging if you need. It’s got good parking and is quiet.”
“5 stars! Mr. Irizarry at Pawn Shop Oakland was incredibly helpful and fair. He made selling and purchasing tools and jewelry easy and stress-free, offered honest prices, and explained everything clearly. Friendly, professional service — highly recommend!”

“Stopped by Pimlico Place in Palm Springs and enjoyed browsing their curated jewelry collection. Beautiful pieces, a welcoming space, and a great local shopping experience!”
“Incredible!! So happy I found this place on a whim, now it's where I get my presents for the most special people in my life. & a little something for me too of course. Adore Ruby! Thank you!”
“I was in Oakland from out of town and on the spur of the moment decided I wanted a grill. She was able to fit me for them and send them to me to Vegas super quickly. Over all very happy with how they turned out! Subtle and cute just how I wanted them”
“Aster Jewelry is a phenomenal jewelry store! As an artist who has had my work featured there since they first opened, I’ve had the chance to see firsthand how they operate. A business’s true character shows during challenging times, and I can confidently say that during a very difficult loss, the owner, Lindsay, went above and beyond—making all of her artists whole again while communicating with transparency and care.
Although I no longer live in the Bay Area, I regularly refer local clients to Aster for jewelry repairs. Every single time, they come back impressed and completely satisfied with their experience.
If you’re looking for beautiful, unique jewelry—or need something repaired—I highly recommend stopping by and supporting this incredible store!”
“Highly recommend. I discovered some old silverware sets in a storage garage owned by my ailing parents and needed to appraise them for their trust. I found the owner Niels of Montclair estates on the internet and he was great. Very professional, personable, experienced and knowledgeable. He is accredited by the International Society of Appraisers which is helpful if you need a legal appraisal document for insurance or other legal purposes.
His brick-and-mortar storefront is temporarily modest for reasons you can read about on his website but more than adequate to meet with him so he can begin to evaluate and understand your appraisal needs. Thank-you Niels for the well documented 12-page appraisal I needed for the silverware for my parents Trust.”
“This is the third time I’ve taking a fabrication workshop like this jewelry tutorial. It was a fabulous session broken down into manageable chunks. Peter Ostwald made the class enjoyable and is a master of helpful feedback. He’s the kind of teacher who listens and reinforces good technique by catching the moments you have good angles or demonstrating only the next step that you need without criticism. It was so much fun!!!!”
“Cute store with lots of fun and pretty things to discover. I found the perfect table runner for my new dining room table. The employees are helpful and friendly, but also let you shop if you're just there to browse.”
“I have been patronizing Ebony Beauty Supply for many years! Owner Michelle and her staff are very professional, nice, caring, and knowledgeable about all products they sell!
I highly recommend this beauty supply store for all your hair and beauty needs!”
“Definitely recommend I received great service went to some other places they didn't help me in the end I'm glad because this place found me the perfect gift for my husband at a good price”

They have lots of cute style and great color. Me and my family love to go shop at this place. Everyone is nice and treat us like a family! I recommend this place to everybody!”
“Got a beautiful silver ring for only $20 and they even resized it for free!! Their ring selection is great and very affordable. And some very cool old school silver earrings for $45. They also have some silver chains (no pendant) for around $50-$60 which is a lot more affordable than other places I've looked at. They sell a lot of silver jewelry. They helped clean everything before I took it home.
Their quality is good, I never have had a reaction from the jewelry and I have sensitive skin. Very good customer service and nice folks.”
“I love having the chance to stop in here and look around. I always find unique things that fit, I know I’ll end up walking away with something special every time”
