“Shout out to Elizabeth Joseph Jewellers in Bellefonte, PA! I am not going to name the other business, but I have to share my experience at the other jeweller to explain why this one was so good--and so much better. About two weeks ago, I took a religious piece with sentimental value to the other jeweller for a repair. I was charged a price for the repair that exceeded what I paid for the item originally! They replaced a link and strengthened another, which they said was weak. I left glad that the item was repaired, but disappointed in the expense. In less than two weeks, just sitting on my bedstand, one of the links broke. I knew I was not going to the original shop that repaired it. By the time I left I would have paid for the item (actually OVER) a third time. :( I Googled, thinking maybe there was another jeweller further away...like State College. I was surprised to find Elisabeth Joseph Jewellers in Bellefonte. I called and explained what I needed (Not mentioning the previous experience elsewhere.) and they gave a ball park estimate literally a quarter of the first place. I went in, had a great conversation with the staff, and went to pay... only to be told there was no charge! I left feeling great (Even the amount they would have charged would have made me happy.). If you have not visited Elisabeth Joseph Jewellers, please do! Very kind, good conversation, fairly priced, and a friendly small town business. ❤️”

“I'm writing to call out the wonderful service and experience with Ludmila Pogrebnyakowa. We have been long time customers of Miska for new purchases and small repairs with wonderful results. My daughter was married at the end of 2025. I wanted to get custom pieces made for my wife and daughter to commemorate the special day. I reached out to Miska and connected with Ludmila who was the designer on this project working with me from ideas to concepts to execution and on a tight timeline. She was amazing, patient and a pleasure to interact with. I could not recommend Miska and Ludmila more for whatever your jewelry needs are. And if all of that isn't enough, the owner of the store met me off-hours to give me the bracelets to accommodate my travel schedule. Thank you to the Miska team and Ludmila specifically for a great experience!”

“I love this place. For the mango pickle and the incense, sure. But it's friendly and messy and wonderful. Go in every month or so; you never know what you might find. And ask about whatever might be new. This is a gem of a place.”
“This is my favorite thrift store in the State College/Bellefonte area. Everything is clean and well organized. There a fresh selection of items every time I visit. Prices are very affordable compared to the nearby Goodwill. I also love the arts & crafts section. They always have small items like buttons and thread, which is perfect for when you don't need to buy a whole pack of sewing supplies! Staff are very nice.”
“I had a wonderful time picking out some new things with the help of Mary. I also picked a new setting for a black pearl from Hawaii. Mary is very knowledgeable in all aspect of jewelry.”
