I also got a necklace modified that Dave designed so beautifully, I get complements on it daily! David and Kathy were so friendly, warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable. They were extremely patient and so fun to talk to. I cannot recommend them enough for all of your jewelry needs!! They’re the best!”

Everyone there is so friendly and attentive! I highly recommend them for any of your jewelry needs!”

“I can always find something to read at Books & Co and the price is right! Most books are in excellent shape. Plus, with trade credit it makes the price even better. Also, in addition to books, they sell both coffee and bakery items and a variety of small gift items. My kids are somewhat obsessed with their section of small unique toys (fidget spinners, squishy animals, etc) so it's a no-brainer to come here for birthday gifts and stocking stuffers. Highly recommend.”

“A beautiful store filled with all sorts of memorabilia, appliances, clothing, media, and more from the 20th Century and sometimes other older stuff! Walking into this store is like walking into a time capsule; There is so much to find you could get lost for hours trying to spot everything! The merchandise is well taken care of, despite the sheer amount of merchandise the store is easily navigable and open, and the staff are polite, courteous, and knowledgeable about many of the wares' history!Overall, even if it's just to immerse yourself in the beauty of the past, this store is worth stopping into! Everything is fairly priced, and there's a clearance rack that pops up from time to time!”
“This is a great antique shop. The owner is a group of elegant old people who work at Yale University. It has a wide range of products, including furniture, paintings, porcelain, and handmade jewelry. The exhibition is very artistic and beautiful, and the music in the store is fever-level classical music! It's high-end, high-quality, and has a lot of good stuff. It's the best antique store I've ever found in East America!”

“This is a wonderful place. This is a family owned business. His repairs he has done for me were phenomenal. Jewelry prices everywhere are based on the prices of precious metals. Every purchase was in a nice jewelry box. Mike is always going the extra distance. I had a ring that I wasn't sure what the stone was and he willingly checked it for me. It turned out to be a lab created stone. The department store I bought it from, the tag said stone.”
“Mike the owner is the nicest guy and has a beautiful selection of reasonably priced different jewelry pieces. I purchased 1 ring last year that I'm very happy with and just purchased a beautiful emerald ring yesterday.”
