Karen from Antiques & More is the greatest! While the store is in the process of relocating she made a house call and bought a collection of porcelain figurines that I no longer wanted. She gave me a very fair price. Can't wait to see the new store. I wish them the best in their new location.

Very cool spot to stop at. I found the perfect promise ring with the help of John. He is very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be coming back.

I went to this store expecting to peruse and left with the prettiest earrings I've ever seen and a wonderful dress. Karen and John were so lovely and made my experience so entertaining. I will definitely be back.

My friend found this store, and we decided to check it out after seeing the great reviews on here. This store is definitely a hidden gem! The owners Karen and James are the nicest people and make you feel welcomed. There are so many ranges of cool items here, and you'll definitely want to leave with something. I'll definitely be visiting again :)

I learned that when one is selling their jewelry that the overall business is questionable? What I mean by this, there are some dealers who are ethical and also are unethical. I had to watch shoes that I wanted to possibly sell for the most money. One was a generic French watch from the 50s, decorative. The other one was a18 karat gold, Austrian/marked. To my surprise, I was offered $250 for both. First of all, the gold watch was worth Shirley a lot more just in the weight of gold, like three times the amount. At any time she told me that it was marked 18 karat gold Or with a makers Mark. That wasn't being very informative, and Shirley threw up a red flag to me. This was a learning experience, and my advice to anyone that selling jewelry you should go to at least three or four buyers that are professional and certified. This way you can get an average, and make a decision if you really want to sell The items. One of the big problems is that so many dealers and buyers are greedy, And I think that this is a prime example.

I just love this place! It is full of jewelry, both costume and real, and I am an admitted jewelry addict. I love it all. Inexpensive, expensive and everything in between. And ALL is what they specialize in this unique store aptly described previously by 2 of my Yelp buddies as in the middle of a rather deserted strip mall. But worth the trip. And I am definitely heading back there in the future.I think they have more jewelry here than anything else but that might just be what I focused on here more than anything else because as I already confessed I am an addict, and all I am seeking is MORE! Please do not cure me, I am happily addicted. They also have some furs, really dressy dresses, handbags galore, and some home furnishings including a vast collection of fancy teacups. I recall a beautiful small table with drawers that looked as if it was made from splayed rosewood, and from the price of it I think I might be right. To me it looked like a perfect jewelry box, but I look at most things with drawers and think...possible jewelry box. I simply lean that way in general.I did buy two items here and as a real serious jewelry collector I can tell you that they have good prices here. We asked about the prices of a number of items another than the things I bought here to get an idea of their price point. I am very happy to have discovered this unique store all thanks to my practice of reading the reviews of my fellow Yelpers. Thank you Ariel W. and Julie F. I appreciate you both in one than one way.I also need to add that the owner was very laid back about letting us examine his merchandise without crowding us or following us around as some owners do. Then when we wanted to get prices on various items he was extremely accommodating and I really appreciated his easygoing manner. I highly recommend this place.

This is a true antique shop with lots of vintage jewelry, furs, clothes, and accessories, plus decor items.You would not expect it to be here. The seedy plaza is almost entirely empty and looks quite run down with lots of open places for rent. And it's no where near other similar stores or shops, either. Inside is like coming into a hidden treasure trove. Lots and lots of very interesting items to look at of all sorts. Of course, with today's current super high gold prices, the high end jewelry is (high) priced accordingly. There's a lot of Asian pieces of jade, snuff bottles, and the like. Many display cases are dazzlingly full of shiny baubles and beads. Even the costume jewelry is ogle worthy. In the back of the store are the minks -- stoles, jackets, and full coats plus a separate rack of other types of fur outerwear. You may recognize your mom's or grandmother's or great aunt's stuff here. Then there are the fancy dresses -- with beads or spangles or rhinestones, etc. And there's accessories as well... I'm sure a store like this would be packed with customers on Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale or say Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. Of course, there, the rent would be astronomically higher. This is the kind of place great for browsing and if your pocketbook will allow, a great place to treat yourself to a special birthday or anniversary gift.

This is the most amazing store. It is located in a non descript plaza off of University and Sample Rd. I attended the church in this plaza once but somehow missed this fantastic find. I was on my way to the new Nordic Bake Shop, another must visit when I spotted their sign that said vintage, one of my loves.Walking into the store is like stepping into a museum except you can buy anything. Amazing treasures await around every corner. They carry furniture, art, sculpture, clothes, and accessories. The jewelry made me salivate. After talking with the owner Karen for awhile I was persuaded to try some silver rings on and of course I ended up with two of them. I have been wearing the heart shaped one every day since my visit. I asked Karen what the oldest piece in the store was and she was a wooden cabinet from France dated 1730 that comes with a ghost! The owner Karen is a sweetheart. I had the best chat with her. She will buy your old jewelry and gold. The jewelry collection here has so many interesting pieces, I really had to hold myself back. When you are looking for that special something that no one else has, pay them a visit.
