Jewelry Stores near Spruce Pine, NC

“We spent the weekend in the area and tried gem mining at 3 places, and this one was our favorite! Elaine was so kind to go through all our rocks and identified each of them. She was the only one to take the time to go through all of them with us instead of us just trying to guess/figure out what they were based on a picture of it. We really appreciated that customer service! I even had an amethyst necklace pendant and garnet ring made out of the treasures we found! We will definitely be back! Thanks again for your hospitality, Elaine!”

“Thousands of great examples of gemstones & minerals. The owner is a walking encylopedia of knowledge . She has vast experience with the many mines in the area and was a joy to talk to. This is a must see attraction.”

“I had a family member pass away unexpectedly and I wanted to get a necklace made that would remind me of them. I knew I wanted a blue stone and that I wanted something unique.

At first, I found a place in another state that claimed they made custom jewelry. After months of going back and forth, I didn’t feel like I mattered and all of the jewelry that they showed me looked very commercial. I honestly don’t know why it took me so long before I reached out to Ring ‘N Things.

I went to Rings ‘N Things without an appointment. I walked in and they instantly made me feel valued. I told them what I was looking for and they gave several suggestions. Why I was talking to them, I began looking in their cases. I saw beautiful jewelry with these very unique rough edge stones. I knew that was the kind of unique quality that I needed in my necklace. I showed them what stone I wanted and they drew up a design right there for me.

It was perfect. I saw that design and stone and I had tears in my eyes. It only took a few weeks before it was ready for me to pick it up. The finished necklace was even better than I could have hoped for. I saw it and tears filled my eyes.

They did such an amazing job and I am so thankful I didn’t settle for the first store because nothing would have been better than this.”
