I was on the hunt for a piece of jewelry and a vintage/art deco pieces in particular. I was…read morerecommended this place, so I checked them out on Yelp and their website. After checking them out online, I was very excited to see what they had to offer. However, when I got there, I was quickly disappointed. There was only one employee who was busy appraising jewelry for a customer. This would not have been a problem, but it honestly seemed very unwelcoming how completely we were ignored. A simple "Welcome to our store. If you need anything I can help you momentarily" is nice, but I am not the type of person that gets huffy if I don't get greeted, but I was completely invisible for at least 5+ minutes while we waited by the display we were interested in trying to make eye contact from 5 feet away. I guess he realized we weren't going to leave, because he decided to help us. I was finally able to try on some pieces, but the lighting in there was so poor (unlike traditional jewelry stores that are very well lit) that I really had a hard time seeing the pieces I was trying on. I know vintage pieces were designed to be viewed in candlelight, but that's not the case anymore, and it would be nice to clearly see what I am planning on purchasing. Also, everything looked really nice online and had ratings of VS2+, yet in the poor lighting, there appeared to be significant flaws in the diamonds that were visible to the naked eye. To me, a lot of the pieces looked like they had taken a beating. Besides being a cold experience, at one point, while we were looking at one tray of rings, the guy pointed out that one was missing so he would know not to assume we stole something. What?!? Besides the fact that I apparently look like a jewel thief, are you going to seriously say that to a customer?? Maybe Pamela is what makes this store slightly friendly (she was not in this day) but the employee she had working there last Saturday, left me still hunting, thoroughly disappointed, and slightly insulted.

Most of the jewelry is past the $200 range (they do sell fine jewelry after all) but they have some under $100 stuff too. There is a mix of old and new jewelry, and they are a full service jewelry shop, so you can go in and get things polished. I got a cute sterling silver green ring from the 30s there for only $30. Pretty good deal.

I grew up in Lake Orion and came back for a visit this weekend. It was the first time in a very…read morelong time that I had gone downtown to go shopping. I was so excited to see new shops and boutiques had opened up and was very impressed with Simply Marcella. Simply Marcella is the ultimate girly girl boutique, right down to the fact that they have a liquor license so you can drink wine while you shop. There are also a few things for the men as well, but most (as my husband did) would probably prefer to sit in the comfy chairs in the center of the store while us ladies do our thang. There was a lot to look at from wines to purses to clothes and jewelry. What immediately caught my eye was their selection of black pearls. The owner's sister was quick to help me and very knowledgeable about the pieces. She was super friendly and great to talk to. In the end, it was love at first sight with a simple black pearl necklace. My husband then became very helpful and got off the couch! I really hope to see downtown LO grow some more and will tell everyone that it's great to shop local, especially in stores as unique as Simply Marcella.

It's still my favorite piece of jewelry; I get compliments on it to this day. I've purchased many gifts from here as well, both from the case and custom made. Joe is wonderful and has managed to create pieces better than I could've imagined them. Every single person has been a pleasure to work with, you can't go wrong. I love them like my family and can't recommend them enough. Their new location in Ferndale is bright and beautiful, with many different styles available. If you don't see something you like, they can likely order it or make it for you. I highly recommend a visit if you need repairs, gifts, or something for yourself!

After paying my bill in full, I started receiving daily calls and invoices claiming I never made the payment. Thankfully, I'm one of those people who keeps every receipt. When I showed proof, they realized it was their mistake -- yet not once did I receive an apology for the repeated calls, letters, and inconvenience. To make matters worse, they mentioned they don't release jewelry unless it's fully paid, but because it was the holidays, they "let" me take my rings home -- even though I had already paid. The same employee who accepted my payment and gave me the receipt was the one calling and mailing the bills! This was handled so unprofessionally and without any accountability. I've stopped going there and no longer refer anyone. It's disappointing, especially after years of trust and business.

Skyline Jewelers just showed their true colors--literally. I had an appointment set for Saturday to…read moreget my gemstones (purchased legally at an auction) appraised. Instead of honoring that appointment, they left me a voicemail canceling it out of nowhere. The excuse? "The owner declined doing this job." Translation: they took one look at me, a Black customer, and assumed the gems weren't mine. They didn't even bother to evaluate them--they just canceled my slot and told me to "try elsewhere." The voicemail made it sound polite, but we all know what's really going on. If you're Black, Brown, or just someone who values fairness, don't waste your time here. This isn't just unprofessional--it's discriminatory. A real jeweler with integrity doesn't cancel confirmed appointments because of who's holding the stones. A real jeweler doesn't racially profile and hide behind weak excuses. Do yourself a favor: take your business to a place that respects all customers equally. Skyline Jewelers has proven they can't handle diversity, professionalism, or basic decency.
