“Fawn was so sweet the entire time, not only helped me decide which side to pierce my nose but switched out a needle cause she thought it wasn’t straight enough, def 5 stars!”

“They were very responsive to my e-mail inquiry and genuinely interested my business. It was very easy to sell to this shop. Their buying price was very close if not better than the online buyers. My payment was ready the next day, and it saved a lot of grief trying to sell it online. Will definitely return!”

“Love love love the people who work here. They are always so polite and have such a wonderful Selection. Great prices, great atmosphere. I don't go anywhere else. Support your local shop. Genuine souls and vibes here. Highly recommend”

“About a year ago my sweet puppy got a hold of a very fragile ring given to me by my grandmother. Thankfully he didn't swallow it, but he totally mangled it. The ring is over 50 years old and was given to my grandmother as a birthday gift from my grandfather when she turned 40. I was heartbroken and was told multiple times that it would be very difficult or near impossible to repair because of how thin the band was and how delicate the setting. Greg at Stephan's Fine Jewelry examined the ring thoroughly and talked me through two options to repair it. I appreciated how honest Greg was with me about expectations for both options, and how careful he was in examining the ring. I ended up having the band replaced and the setting repaired and reset and I couldn't be happier with it. Greg is a master of his craft and I'm glad I ended up taking my grandmothers ring to Stephan's. I will absolutely use and recommend them for fine jewelry repair moving forward. Thank you Greg! And everyone who I chatted with at Stephan's - the staff is so kind. Pictures of before and after are below. It's hard to see how truly ruined it was but it's a small miracle the diamonds stayed intact. The prongs were partially twisted and the band was about to break from how thin and chewed it was.”

“The shop owner was absolutely lovely. She had such amazing energy, really helped us with what we needed, and very knowledgeable about crystals. I loved that they also sell palo santo and sage ❤️”

“Lovely store with amazing handcraft and unique jewelry! Visited while on vacation and got a ring as a momento. Weeks later, my ring had a teeny tiny crack in it. I contacted Mountainside and Cassie quickly helped me out! I returned the cracked ring and was shipped a replacement within a week.Fantastic customer service - they really care! Can't wait to stop by and pick up more momentos next time I'm nearby.”

“Came in just to get a backing for an earring and was not disappointed. Everyone in the shop was friendly, and was able to help me in a quick manner. The shop is small, but the shop is also extremely clean and pleasing to look at. Will definitely be coming here for future piercings :)”

“I love this local, artistic, unique, store. So many wonderful items to select from. I appreciate the pottery, baskets, silks and candles. Of course jewelry! Wonderful hats, scarfs, and handmade birdhouses. Thank you for supporting the local community during events. (Wine Wander, World's Shortest Parade, etc.) I am enjoying my most recent purchases. Many thanks!”

“This is the best store! Go here for anything from home goods, holiday gifts, to handmade jewelry. I like it best for owner Cierra’s earrings and necklaces but also for when I need a gift and don’t know what to buy. I always stop in last minute and they help me find what I didn’t know I was looking for, gift wrap it beautifully, and send me on my way looking like I planned ahead :)”

“This place is great, my wife took an old gold bracelet that wouldn't stay clasped. She knew it was gold and not plated, as that is what she buys. we couldn't find a kart stamp on the bracelet so we were not sure of the gold quality. The person working the shop had no problem taking the piece and testing it. When he returned he informed us that the bracelet was 18k and carefully explained what he offers for gold and gave us some alternative methods for maybe getting more for it. We understood his offer and took it. We felt was very good offer. It was a great transaction and we can highly recommend this business. We'll be back”

“I LOVE their faux gauges and have several pairs. I started by ordering online from Canada, and then on a road trip made a special detour so that I could visit the store location.I turned up at a time when they didn't have any sales people in, but the person there helped me find the pair of earrings I already knew I wanted. She was so helpful that I even bought the pair right next to the ones I came for.”

“super cute art store in the heart of capitola... my friends and i stopped by en route to the beach and loved what we saw here, lots of custom greeting cards, paintings by local artists, mugs, jewelry and clothing branded with capitola. some of the actual artwork was very unique, symbols and things that i hadn't seen in other art stores. the ladies working there were super sweet, very friendly. hours are a little limited though, they only open wednesday - sunday, 11.00-17.00 (closed on monday & tuesday). as far as parking, there is limited street parking, but your best bet is to park in the city parking lot about a block away.”

“Volunteering here is easy, fun, and grounding. Simply show up during hours, sign a waiver, and you're good to go. Its so peaceful and beautiful here. It's honestly a great idea for a date to volunteer here together. I love going on the weekends just to weed for a couple hours with my partner and friends.”

“Outstanding artwork by Phoebe ! I have purchased a few opal pieces from Phoebe and some sea glass jewelry for my girlfriend. Phoebe is always extremely helpful and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her jewelry. Make sure to visit her store when in town you will not be disappointed!!”

“So exciting to have this new boutique in Aptos Village! It's such a fresh addition to the sweet little historic area.. bringing in really stylish and high quality clothing for anyone in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond! The style is like trendy upscale coastal, so you can find great pieces that look so chic, but also aren't fussy. The styles are youthful, but sophisticated. Many of the brands she carries are made in Italy, and she really pays attention to the quality. And the rest of the store is filled with adorable home goods and accessories, great for finding girlfriend gifts! The owner Wendy is so nice and has amazing taste! If you've been meaning to stop by this new shop, do it already! You will want to leave with one of everything :)”

“The service was great, friendly and knowledgeable about all types of jewelry and designs. Also have repair services with trusted jeweler. Must go and see. The prices charged were fair for the pieces we got. Made a rainy day shine.”

“I have been working with Treasures for nearly a decade now for lots of little things. Battery replacements, cleanings, a new chain, tipping an old ring, repairing a broken charm, and each time their service has exceeded expectations. Lately our interactions have become more delicate. They appraised some of my parents old jewelry, some of which I traded in, the rest I sold elsewhere. And then I had them help me design and build a wedding set, with new and recycled gems. My now fiance says it's the most beautiful ring she has ever seen.”

“I looked all over Santa Cruz county and surrounding areas for a gold turtle or dragonfly charm for my wife's birthday, and couldn't find either anywhere. I called about 14 more jewelry stores from Los Gatos down to South of Aptos, and no luck. Finally, I called Don Roberto in the Macy's mall in Capitola, and they had two turtle charms and a dragonfly charm in gold! I bought both a beautiful gold turtle with an emerald on its shell, and a white & yellow gold dragonfly with diamonds, and she loves them! And the women at Don Roberto could not have been nicer.”

“I needed some help with a ring I had inherited and went to Mark Areias because they were close. I am so glad I did! Their shop is beautiful and the people are knowledgeable and helpful. They provide personal service that you just don't see any more. I will be going back for sure.”

“Such a great spot in Santa Cruz! Adore the variety of items they have here. It's the perfect place to treat yourself or find gifts for others. Love that they have mini variety options of some of their staples for gifts. They have a mix of local makers as well here, which is always nice when you want to shop local. Everyone here is always super sweet and they also host events sometimes too which is a blast! Highly recommend!”

“The new owner of Scotts Valley Jeweler is a kind and gracious business owner. Over the course of my 30 minutes in store, Tom provided several unofficial jewelry appraisals, advised me on & took in several pieces for repair, cleaned my ring, surprised me with a Turkish coffee, and then walked me through his truly beautiful inventory and helped me in the seemingly impossible task of narrowing my gift choices to select a gorgeous sparkly ring. I am grateful for all of the help and so glad that Tom and SV Jewelers 2.0 is here!”

“We love Byzantine and Mark! He makes such beautiful one of a kind jewelry. My engagement ring is so beautiful and unique, can’t wait to get our bands from him! Highly recommend!!”

“What a wonderful shop! I went in, not knowing what to get for my sisters for Christmas, but I quickly found perfect gifts. The selection of jewelry, decorations, and gifts from local artists was fantastic, the staff were friendly and helpful, and they even wrapped my gifts for Christmas! I'll definitely be back.”

“I've been following Variance Objects on Instagram for a few years now and have always wanted one of their gorgeous pieces, but could never justify spending the money "just because." I got engaged October 2021 and asked one of my best friends, who is a jewelry artist, to make my wedding ring. Of course, she agreed and we were working on designing one, but she accepted a great job opportunity out of state that took a lot of time out of her fall schedule and wouldn't be able to get it done in time.I kind of felt that might be the case, so I had been checking VO's website to see which rings they still had ready-to-wear for purchase. When she and I talked and she confirmed she wouldn't be able to in early January I was a little scared because most of the rings I was looking at were no longer available. Ah! I quickly emailed them asking about lead time since my (destination) wedding was mid-February, and I received a response in less than 20 minutes from Scott. I told him I would like the rose cut diamond band and my size and he assured me I would have it in time before we depart to Mexico. In fact, he said they would make a few so I could choose which one I want! How nice! Sure enough, I received an email about 2 weeks out from our departure, selected my ring, and it was shipped out Fedex later that day and arrived in a few days.The ring was absolutely beautiful, unique... exactly what I wanted for my wedding ring! I hated that I had I had to wait 2 weeks to finally wear it! I've been wearing it for 2 weeks and it's just perfect. I want to thank Scott for communicating so quickly and being so accommodating. I will definitely recommend VO to my friends and look forward to my next purchase!”

“I live in Canada and wanted some pants like ones I had bought at Oceania but in a different colour. Jill was super helpful in finding and sending exactly what I wanted.”

“Bouke Hollinga designed a ring for me, which I truly loved. It had a moonstone and I wore it until I misplaced it one bad day. Bouke is an excellent designer and I would recommend him to anybody. Helene H. Tricker Wilsonville. Oregon”

“I stumbled upon this unique and cute store while going clothes shopping with my gf next door at Amber Moon (one of her favs) and found my experience delightful. Not really knowing what kind of products they sell, I was happy to find beautiful fair-trade jewelry and a cacao bar. The jewelry is gorgeous and a lot of it had cool geometric designs which I thought looked awesome (lots of triangles and eyeballs). They also sell healing crystals which I do not know a whole lot about but the staff there was happy to share about their positive energy benefits. The thing I was most excited about was their ceremonial cacao though because this was something I had heard great things about but had yet to have the opportunity to partake in. I asked about what makes it a ceremonial cacao and was told that part of it is in the harvesting of the cacao and how the people involved in that process understand the sacred nature of this spiritual plant. You are free to have them make you a warm cup of cacao to drink there (they have a couple of seats outside) or they sell it by the brick for you to take home (I think the cacao brick is around $60). There are a few different options when ordering that has different tastes and health benefits. To be honest, though, the flavor of the cacao is similar to earth. After an interesting explanation of what cacao is and the different benefits associated with the combinations of flavors offered I decided on the Mama Amor that I was told helps to open up the heart space and promote healing. The other option I ordered was the elevate that I was informed helps to raise vibrations, but not like caffeine which tends to be short-lived, but in a more mellow, sustained kind of way, and I was not at all disappointed. Before drinking my cup I said some positive affirmations and a few prayers and I almost immediately felt my heart full of love and my energy being lifted into a place of positivity, healing, and gratitude. To be truly objective after a few great visits I did bring my gf here to share the experience with me and she did have a terrible reaction which included her being sick. However, she told me that she would like to go back and try the cacao again in the not-so-distant future. In the meantime though, I will enjoy stopping by occasionally to browse the gorgeous jewelry, sacred crystals and attempt to open up my heart space with a cup of ceremonial cacao.”

“Very well curated products and plants. Mostly inspired by Scandinavian and local design. Always worth a visit when spending time in Santa Cruz. A nice and helpful owner and team.”
