“Nawbin is my favorite shop in Traverse City. I first found them when I began making frequent trips to the area 16 years ago. When I moved to Traverse City 8 years ago i began shopping here regularly. As an artist with a serious obsession with beads, they offer inspiration to fuel my work. The friendly and welcoming owner is deeply knowledgeable about the history and culture of beads around the world, local rock hunting, and fossils. He has something new to feed my obsession every time I come in. I look forward to wide ranging conversations about mutual interests when the shop isn't too busy to talk. I never leave without at least a small purchase. Make Nawbin an essential stop on your next visit to the Traverse City area, you won't be sorry. Be prepared to purchase something beautiful and irresistible.”
“I wish I could leave a higher rating than 5 stars! I had a fantastic experience working with Frank at Yanke Jewelers. He was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish.
I brought him a unique idea: to turn a LEGO piece into a custom pendant for a necklace, and he absolutely nailed it! The finished pendant exceeded my expectations, and I'm extremely happy with the quality and craftsmanship.
I also really appreciated Frank's flexibility. We were able to work out a mutually beneficial arrangement, and I'm grateful he was willing to help make this project happen.
I highly recommend Frank and Yanke Jewelers to anyone looking for quality custom jewelry and excellent customer service. I look forward to doing more business with them in the future!”
“My husband and I went on a lovely road trip this past weekend. We decided to stop in Frankfort where we walked the town stores and came across Korner Gem. We love rock picking the shores. But this was a new experience! They had SO many beautiful pieces, we had a hard time picking which to take home. Little to big, dark to light, jewelry to natural, and goodies for kids too! We got a stunning Amethyst the size of a human head as well as mystery goodie bags for our kiddos. They ended up getting a mix of petoskey stones and other gems, a variety of sizes, colors and different from one bag to the next. We ended up working our way to Traverse City where we visited the second location. We met Kevin and his lovely staff who ended up talking and showing us gems we liked for about an hour! He was patient, knowledgeable and passionate. We had an awesome time looking at all the different pieces/jewelry, picking which ones we wanted to get a closer look at and took home our first store bought gem collection. We already have them set up on their stands with overhead lighting. After a full weekend of Fishtown, wineries and new dining experiences. Stopping at Korner Gem was the highlight of our trip! We are already excited for our next visit!”
“I've known James for many years, and when it came to designing a ring there was no other choice for me. I emailed him some photos of rings I liked and he went to work right away. The ideas he sent me were all stunning. I chose the one that I liked the most, it was a hard decision, and when I recieved it, it was better than I imagined. Such beautiful work, and I know that no one has the same ring as me. Also, I live in Kentucky so don't let living out of state stop you from working with James C. Smith. Thank you again!!!”
“Hands down my favorite store over in Traverse City. Great location in the Commons, Many other shops to explore, very unique finds, highly recommending visiting this place.”
“Fantastic store. I wanted most everything in it. Added a wonderful new hat to my hat collection. The shop owner was wonderful. IF you don't go here, your missing out. SUPPORT LOCAL SHOPS.”
“Ken is the only jeweler I will go to. I have had multiple repairs and they are all flawlessly done and at an unbelievably fair price. I have recommended Ken to many people and they have all been very pleased.”
“I absolutely love the piece I purchased here. They helped me decide which finger to wear it on to minimize damage and were able to resize it. I’m from out of the area and was able to have it shipped to my home. I would highly recommend this shop (my bf loves getting worry stones from here as well). Very friendly staff”
“visited the shops for my birthday weeknd, miranda was incredibly helpful in finding some pieces, that i’m still so very happy with. she gave me a lot of tips and insight. 10/10 shopping experience with her help. (:”
“If you're hunting for someone to make custom jewelry, this the best place you can go. Mr Freund is a truly talented craftsman. We had an engagement ring made from a very large raw cut alexandrite and just handed him the picture of another ring that had a similar style and he just went from there and turned out this one of a kind ring that will obviously be a family heirloom. Thank you again!”
“My husband bought me the Tahitian black pearl necklace with matching earrings this past weekend from the Traverse City location and I absolutely LOVE them! Stunning pieces at fair prices! The sales women who helped us was very friendly and helpful while we were making our decision.”
“I have known George for more years than either of us would like to admit. He has handled all my jewelry needs, recently purchased a lovely wedding set. Great service, high quality, reasonable price...I trust him without question.”
“I only get to Traverse City a couple of times a year and this is where I always stop for unique things. This last trip did not disappoint and Shane was awesome!😊”
“Took my teenager to get her 3rd piercings today at Claire's in the Grand Traverse Mall. The piercer did a wonderful job! She was very nice and knowledgeable, marking her ears prior and checking and double checking with my daughter and myself about placement prior to piercing. Overall, very happy with the whole experience. Definitely recommend!”
“I went in to upgrade my 17 gram chain to 20+ grams. When tell you This genuinely gentle Lady helped me out, try and pick out a 20+ gram chain, but after numerous chains we couldn’t find one. Lucky I saw an elephant pendant that was a little over 3 grams. And like the usually greedy buyer (me) always asks “what’s the best you can do for it…” she responded “that actually is the lowest..” so I bought it anyway thinking what the heck. when I tell you I went to the car and did my math on what I got for what I paid.. shook me supper grateful there’s honest venders specially with gold prices up the roof. 6 starts if I could.”
“Our sales person was SO patient with me and my 5 kids. Usually I worry about them being unwelcome in jewelry stores. Miners didn’t make me feel that way at all!”
