“This is a family owned business. They are very knowledgeable about the gems and they make you feel welcomed as soon as you step in the door! This is my birthstone from the garnet I panned for.”
“Laurel was amazing to meet + even more amazing to purchase with. She's a no-pressure sales woman with a heart of gold. She's the real deal! I was able to purchase my dream bag with her, and I will be back to buy many more items for friends and family.”
“Excellent! Claudia and Joe are wonderful. The selection of new and estate jewelry is huge. The art glass is amazing. A must stop and shop for anyone visiting Highlands!”
“Thank you for being open today because we were tourists on a Wednesday and many stores were understandably closed! Beautiful store with tons of cool stuff to look at.”
“I just left Highlands Gem ShopOn my first visit to Highlands, NC not only was the weather spectacular for this South Florida girl, but I came across a “gem” of a shop.This shop had so many cool and different things. From the beautiful jewelry to the eclectic selection of gift items to the interesting minerals in the back. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular but I came away with a special memento from one of the lovely local artisans in the shop. Thanks for adding a little extra “sparkle” to my trip to Highlands!”
“Such a wonderful store! There are so many different hand made items, all of which were meticulously made. I fully recommend visiting for a refreshing and respectful taste of Turkey. ?? ??”
“Very nice and professional staff. Their clothes are expensive but well made. They do offer some less expensive shirts with local expressions on them if that is what you are looking for. This is a true small boutique experience.”
“Terrific people and selection! Jay and Loriejean were very welcoming and put up with my rowdy boys. Jay took the time to speak to me (a relatively new collector) in depth about coins, gold, and silver. If you are in the Highlands, go check them out. Highly recommend!”
