I’ve been buying jewelry from this establishment for a little over a year now and have never been disappointed. The owner, Abby, has always been nice to me and answered all my questions respectfully. I highly recommend going here if you want quality merchandise from a local perspective! ?

This store has rare and well priced finds. The proprietors are quiet and have class; other stores in Iowa City take my regular purchasing for granted and I actually get worse customer service over time. Glassando a class act in how they treat customers. They have rare finds, such as this raw Tanzanite necklace I last purchased (see photo). I consider them to be the best jewelers in town. They also have a nice selection of crystals that aren’t necessarily mounted into jewelry. Their jewelry is not limited to precious and semi precious stones; they also have art pieces and decor for holidays. The prices are just right considering the rarity of their products. I love this place and even though I am moving to another state, I plan to shop online with them until I can’t shop anymore!

Very artsy and unique jewelry collection, it's an easy place to find a quick gift. Jewelry has a wide range of prices, from quick small gifts to big special occasions. It's a staple for me when finding gifts for my wife.

I love, love, love Glassando! I have purchased or received so many stunning and unique pieces of jewelry over the years from Abby. I'm in the Chicago area so I appreciate being able to shop on line or at her live online video sales events. My daughter was thrilled when I was able to electronically share my wish list from Glassando for some Mother's Day gift suggestions, and I was equally thrilled to receive the pieces I loved. My husband often seeks Abby's advice for gifts and they have selected some fabulous jewelry and a large amethyst geode that I treasure. I receive so many compliments whenever I wear one of these statement pieces. Each piece is so different from the mass produced pieces out in other stores. I have fossil earrings, carved amber jaguars, alien cameos, hand-painted pins, geode pendants, and a breathtaking blue topaz bracelet, just to name a few! Thank you Abby and Glassando for all the joy you send my way!

Before Glassando, I was never much of a jewelry person. I liked the idea of it, but could never find pieces that I really liked. My first visit to Glassando, however, changed everything. The shop always has a wide array of jewelry, and so truly has something for anyone. Looking for a classic, timeless look - there are lots of gorgeous pearls and simple silver pieces. If you want something more adventurous, they often have really fun abstract jewelry. Or if you are looking for a piece of nature or history, they have fun pieces based around old coins, gemstones, and even fossils! In all of these categories, jewelry is available at a number of price points, so you can easily find something in your budget. Besides the wonderful and always changing selection of jewelry, the staff at Glassando is what really makes them stand out. Everyone I have ever worked with is very friendly, patient, and always happy to help you find just the right thing. I have to admit I've also been there enough times that Abby knows just what to show me to put a smile on my face! I will be moving from the Iowa City area soon, but they also have an active website, and so I am happy to say they have won a customer for life in me.

I have been enjoying the items I’ve purchased from Abby for many, many years now. Her items are of top quality and the selection is wonderful. There are items for various price ranges as well. All the sales personnel are well trained, very helpful and knowledgeable. A ready smile and a cheerful hello when entering. What more can I saw but stop in.

Glassando has a great selection of jewelry, particularly from artists inspired by nature. I always find the perfect gifts here, whether I'm looking for something whimsical or unique, or something more formal. I started shopping the store online, which was very convenient, but the store has more items on display and there are always new items of interest. The owner is super friendly and helpful and, of course, Glassando is a local business that supports community events. Definitely a gem!
