My mom and I first came across Fariha when we drove up from Austin to look for a wedding dress. I…read morehad looked at SO many stores but just couldn't find what I was looking for. Fariha offered to design one with me. I was so hesitant because I had never worked with her before, but Fariha was receptive to my ideas, and saw my vision exactly. Even with COVID shutdowns in Pakistan and shipping delays, she kept me informed and I was 100% in love with it when it came in. I would definitely recommend working with this sweet woman!

Let me begin by saying I've been a loyal customer of Fariha's for 4 years and there is a reason why…read moreI am loyal to her business and only her business. She used to have a boutique in her house and she was kind enough to allow me to come during crazy hours and days just to look/buy outfits. Then, her business grew and now she has a store. Thankfully I had built a business relationship with her that I could email/message/text her to get an idea of what was in stock. This was extremely helpful for me because I'm big on online shopping and I live in Saudi so I can't easily visit her store location. Fariha was kind enough to send me pictures and videos of items I would possibly be interested in. The videos had detailed explanation. I would chase quick pay her the money and have the item reserved for me when I arrive. Stress free. Why do I like her company better than the rest? 1) At the other store that is next to fariha's they play a shady game of not putting the price on the clothes so they can name any price they want to whenever someone asks them. I am a Pashtun and often times get confused for an Arab. When I went to a store near fariha's I asked the price of an outfit and I was quoted a very high price whereas when my mother in law (who is Indian) asked for the price in Urdu she was given a price 100 dollars less than what I was told. Whether you think that's fair or not, at least with Fariha the prices are clearly labeled. No guessing/bargaining game there. 2) At poshak which is a few stores down, their outfits are outdated and unreasonably priced. At fariha's Store everything is new and I believe are original and very fairly priced. 3) Unlike other businesses that are pushy and rude (that you often see at the eid bazaar) you will not get that with Fariha's. I won't lie, when I first went to the store I was disheartened to not see Fariha there, but the young girl who works there is just as knowledgeable, polite, and accommodating. I love how they are with the times and have an active instagram account. I follow them religiously on instagram so that I can see what products they have. You will not ever be disappointed with the work and price of the outfits you get.

Bruce is a true artist and highly skilled craftsman, a rare and wonderful combination. He created…read morevery unique platinum wedding bands for us, based on our ideas and skillfully implemented with a love for detail that surpassed our expectations. In honor of the birth of our daughter, he also designed two pendants - one for my wife and one for my daughter - that turned out stunningly beautiful. The pendants were created around two pieces of boulder opal that I had acquired, and Bruce did his magic (including wonderful engravings of my wife's and daughter's initials). If you are looking for someone who can create a custom designed piece of jewelry of superb quality, look no further. Bruce made the most important jewelry our lives, and we admire them every day.

Bruce has done several custom pieces for us in the past. There was confusion but he made it right…read more However, I asked him to alter a ring which I inherited from my mother. I asked him to hold it until stones were agreed upon. But he went ahead and took the ring apart anticipating a different design which we had not agreed upon. We ultimately agreed on the replacement stones. However, within the year after the ring was completed, the stones became loose. I contacted Bruce by email (his office is far from my house)to see if he wanted to fix the problem...NO ANSWER. I went to another jeweler who said the ring had been so compromised that the stones would never stay secure without completely refabricating the ring at significant expense. Again, I emailed Bruce about what the other jeweler said. Again, NO ANSWER even though he had answered many prior emails. I shared this with a friend and he also had had Bruce do some custom work which was subpar. I regret it (because he did do some great work for me in the past) but I will never use Bruce again.

My collection is so huge that I forget what I have. Not complaining, have you ever met a woman say, "I have too much jewelry?" Sometimes I open a box and I will screech to myself, "I can't believe I still have this!" That happens with shoes too. If you are the type of woman who breaks out with fashion jewelry, stop reading, this probably isn't for you. Life is too short to wear boring jewelry. This is not the cheap paparazzi jewelry, which I still have a few pieces for casual days. They are fun and I don't care if they get lost or broken. Yet, Hidden Jem has a whole section dedicated to $5.00 pieces, with slightly better quality! Enough said. This Jem should have stayed hidden, especially from me. I need help saving my bank account. It's too close to work for comfort.

It is now 2023 and my family still goes hard on James Avery gifts for birthdays and holidays. James Avery is a Texas staple (which has now expanded to other states). Selling everything from earrings, charms, bracelets, necklaces, rings, etc, you are bound to find something. They have gifts for both men and woman. They have loads of gems and stones to go with your birth month or really for anything. Charms that used to be $12.50 are now a whopping $40 or more. But who cares? If your a James Avery fan, you are a fan forever, at any cost. If you're like me your charm bracelet holds over 40 plus charms. They have charms for colleges, pets, hobbies, life events, charms for any holiday you can think of. Of course, any James Avery enthusiast has their bracelet for the charms. When you purchase a charm, they will add it to the bracelet for free PLUS they clean the bracelet for you. There used to be a time where they would make a retired charm for you, however since the original owner retired a lot has changed. If you want an old charm, look on ebay or a neighborhood facebook group. A couple of times a year they run specials like buy two charms and get a bracelet or something like that. The employees here need to be trained better - many aren't they typical James Avery experts l, but time will tell. James Avery, the neighborhood welcomes you with open arms! Thank you for taking a chance with our community!
