“Milan and Brooke helped me design an amazing custom ring for my wife's birthday. We just love it! Brooke was instrumental right from the time I walked into the store to advise, create and deliver a beautiful ring. I couldnt be more happier to have chosen Milan and will recommend anyone who is looking to order a custom ring to go there. Friendly, courteous and amazing experience!!”
“Wanted to write a huge word of appreciation to Natalie. I had been looking for something very specific and tough to find and she kept her word and helped me with my request. Her real time communications and follow through on her word are second to none. Highly recommend her for her professionalism and customer care. Thank you Natalie and thank you Mayors.”
“Terrific store in Sarasota - my son and I visit 1-2x a year to fossil hunt - pineapple rocks visit is always something we look forward to. They have some beautiful pieces and the staff are always great about showing and talking about their pieces for interested buyers and those just interested - looking forward to our next visit!”
“The BEST PLACE to find wonderful Treasures. The Whole TEAM goes above and beyond the expectations. I would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you all for what you did for me and my Family...”
“True to their name, repairs are fast and done on site. Depending on your watch brand, batteries can be expensive but in line with other jewelers that have to send merchandise out to a 3rd party.”
“Thayer Jewelers offers a welcoming atmosphere. Their customer service sets them apart, making the jewelry buying experience pleasant and enjoyable. It’s a great option for those seeking quality pieces and personalized assistance.”
“What a lovely shop with the most beautiful jewels. Thank you Jojo for your time and attention in helping me select the perfect necklace and earrings. I love both!”
“I had to pawn a gaming system a couple months back im so glad I came to this location for my loan. These guys are human and understand hard times. They aren't looking to take your belongings if you end up needing more time to pay back. They could of they wanted to. Any other pawn shop would have. I will drive 45 min to come here anytime I need a pawn shop just because they aren't like most pawn shops out there. They are down to earth and understand people fall on hard times. They dont prey on people in their time of need. Thank you guys”
“Todd and Lyra have made our gorgeous wedding rings! They are so perfect, we are so very happy with our rings!Our story is special. We live in the Netherlands. Anita had a vision about our wedding rings. We searched at the internet to find these wedding rings. We found the site handwovenbands, and we discovered that they make the exact same wedding rings as in the vision. We were amazed that this small, family run business far away in Sarasota, makes the rings from the vision.We contacted them, and Lyra helped us very kindly every step along the way.We surely think God has given Todd and Lyra a very special talent. They make such special rings. For us it is so special that they create our rings that represent the alliance between two people and God. We also like the symbolic of 2 separate individuals choose to weave their two lives together. Todd is a very gifted ringmaker with amazing jeweler skills!We will wear our wedding rings with a lot of happiness and pride.”
“Just Because isn’t only an amazing store with incredibly unique and fun inventory, but I always feel so welcome by the helpful, kind and caring sales associates. Thank you, Roberta for making my shopping experience a pure delight!”
“The Bazaar on Apricot & Lime is one of my favorite spots for local shopping in Sarasota. It’s an indoor indie market in Sarasota with a rotating mix of local vendors and artists, so it’s easy to find creative, unique gifts—and half the fun is hearing the stories behind what people make and sell.
They also do a great job keeping things fun with events throughout the month, so there’s always something new happening.
And don’t skip Hamlet’s Eatery in the courtyard. The burger and fries are excellent, the specials are always worth checking out, and the vegetarian and vegan options are so good that even a meat-eater will be happy.
If you’re looking for unique gifts in Sarasota and want to support local makers and small businesses, The Bazaar is a great stop.”
“Love this small business! The owner is so sweet and welcoming! They are always eager to help and tend to your needs and thoughts about any and all of their jewelry!”
“We bought our lamp and rug from Max last year and fell in love with it. Not only was Max so incredibly kind and loving, but we make sure to stop by every year we are in town to say hello and see what treasures he has to offer. This year we bought 4 beautiful plates to hang in our kitchen! Can't wait to see the final look. Make sure to stop by when you are looking at all the shops in St. Armands Circle, by far the best in our opinion.”

“Cutest little gift/clothing/shoe store! Big selection of hostess/birthday gifts, I always make a point to stop at least once when down here! Thank you for your help Tonya!”
“Well she said YES! Thank you Rob for making my dreams come true. Rob designed and created my engagement ring and it was beautiful. Hands down the best experience I have had. Again, thank you.”
“I can not praise the A. Tifaney & Son team (Kirk Weidman & Hannah) more. Hannah was amazing at communicating expectations and the process with me. And Mr. Weisman was so kind, thorough and open with what he was doing. They both were honest and helped me with the massive estate review. I will absolutely be using them again in the future for other personal items.”
“Someone wrote: “Great place to find local art that makes you smile.”
That’s the case.
It is now part of our home and has survived 5000 miles unscathed.”
“I stumbled upon this pawn shop because it’s so close to home and I can’t say enough good about it. Very clean and organized. The couple that own it are very knowledgeable and explain everything in detail but so I could understand. It was a pleasure doing business and will definitely return.”
“My 3 friends and I, from NY, LOVED ALL jewelry!. I purchased a beautiful UNOde50 necklace. Great service from Catherine, Deb and John. I also may have picked out my husband’s “Xmas gift to me this year…haha!!”,Diane”
“I had never been to this jeweler before but stopped in on a Friday afternoon right before they closed with an issue with my engagement ring. They helped me right away with amazing service. I would highly recommend Carats to anyone looking for a friendly and knowledgable jeweler, and I'm happy to know I've found a place I can trust!”
“I purchased the most beautiful set of cufflinks as a gift for my husband at our wedding! From the moment I reached out about the item for more information, through delivery, Victoria was so kind and helpful. She shared that she had gotten married the weekend before and made sure that everything about my experience was seamless! On our wedding day, I surprised my now husband with the cuff links and he could not have loved them more. The cufflinks were in perfect condition and Victoria even went out of her way to find the box for them. He received compliments all night long and cannot wait to wear them again! Thank you for everything!! This will definitely not be our last purchase with this team!”
“Ruth was SO helpful and helped me find the perfect green amber necklace. If I lived locally I would absolutely come back again. Certainly cannot be missed if you’re visiting St. Armand’s Circle.”
“Went to Jared to have some engraving done on my husbands wedding band which we are gifting to our grandson for his wedding on 2/14/2026 - everyone was great especially Will Rincon - so helpful & knowledgeable since it was very emotional for me. The engraving was done ahead of schedule & when I went to pick it up Kristin helped me since Will was off that day & she was so nice & helpful - they certainly are assets to this store & the engraving was beautiful! Thank you Jared, Ruth Ahearn”

“Great place for bullion and coins. And good to have a trustworthy and local brick-and-mortar store for high-value items in Sarasota. I met Glenn and Mike at their Gold, Coin, and Jewelry store today. Very approachable, super nice guys, knowledgeable, and very fair and transparent regarding pricing. Definitely going back there for more coins.”
“You will not find a better craftsman and honest and undeniably the best price in sizing rings, fixing watches and designing jewelry. I'm out of the Washington DC area and was hesitant to use this small establishment which was highly recommended. After my first ring I had sized I took a whole bunch in and left them. They add new batteries to both my watches on the spot at half the price of up north. If John doesn't have the item of jewelry you are coveting he will find it and stay within your price point.”
“Friendly, experienced and trustworthy jewelers. Family owned, family run, Sarasota small business. Always easy to work with and exceptional quality workmanship including custom pieces, ring sizing, anniversary gifts, wedding rings, appraisals and even watch batteries.”
“I do not live in Florida but follow Pineapple Lain's social media pages and have noticed they have made some really great changes to their inventory. I suddenly find myself wanting almost everything they post about; the clothing is adorable! I recently placed an order through the Pineapple Lain web site for a pair of jeans and a romper. Both arrived quickly and are even nicer than I expected. The quality is phenomenal! I sometimes worry about ordering clothes online because I don't have time to deal with returns. But I have to say - the two items I ordered fit perfectly, are super flattering, and I could not be happier. I will also say that my package arrived with instructions on what to do if I was NOT happy with my items, and wanted to return them. This is rare ... and exceptional delivery of customer service. I highly recommend this shop and will definitely be ordering again!”
“I visited to see the Siesta Key Watercolor Gemstone jewelery in person. I wanted to purchase jewelry unique to the Key as my wife has been visiting for family vacations since she was a young child with many great memories. I was hopeful this jewelry would remind her of all the good memories when she wore it. The salesperson was wonderful and even took some of the jewelry outside to get a better view in the sun. I purchased earrings, and they took great care to wrap, hand label, and place in a gift bag. My wife was very happy with the beauty and uniquely Siesta Key aspect of the gift! Thank you very much! Highly recommend!”
