I wish i could say I had a pleasureable experience having something custom made, but I can't. It…read moretook months over the time agreed upon, the price was raised when i went to pay, i was charged for a certain amount of high carat gold and the earrings were short by 10 grams of gold and not assayed. They didn't communicate between each other at the shop and would tell me diff stories on the progress and why . I confronted them about this being racially motivated because i cannot imagine any of their rich local white customers ever returning if they recieved the service and deceit i experienced. I spent 1000's and wish i hadn't, the earrings are tarnished now to me.

Lyppens is a shop I came to know from one of my favorite vintage jewelry websites, so when the Mr &…read moreI knew we'd be coming to Amsterdam for the weekend, I marked this as a destination stop, so I could check out their offerings in person Well, I think I'd built it up in my mind to be much more than it was in real life because it did not meet my expectations at all There is a man-trap to get into the place so I assumed we'd be looking at high-end pieces. ( There were no signed high-end pieces that I could see ) The shop was extremely small but there is a lot of jewelry to behold. Unfortunately, the displays are jumbled together & the pieces seemed to be thrown on the tray ( no presentation ) & as a result, everything just seemed old & unpolished & unloved. A specific ring I had seen online was not out for display but when I inquired about it, they went to the back & got it out for me. But after I tried it on, I felt like I was surrounded by their staff on the off-chance I might try to run off with it.......which would have been impossible since A - I'm not that kind of person & B - please see above reference to man-trap Prices are extremely high & while they will negotiate the cost, we never got to that point. I had advised the person helping me that I wanted to go think about the ring - which turned out to be antique-style & not a true antique. She advised me we could discuss price when I got back But how will I know if I even want to come back if I don't know what your best price is - it would have helped me in the thinking process if I had had a firm figure in mind And with the info I was presented, I did not feel the need to return.....so yeah, I've experienced better

Yessss! This is one of my favourite places in Amsterdam and this is the first store I ever went to…read morehere. Geek much?? One word: OVERWHELMING! But overwhelmingly GOOD! They have a huge range of products (merchandising) from movies, games, TV series, cartoons, you name it. They have toys, games, action figures, mugs, shirts, life size stuff, models, etc... Everything is original and the small store is super packed. It's small but there are three little small floors which you can browse forever, because that's how long it takes. They also have a webstore and you can take a 360 tour of the store on their website. If you are a Star Wars fan, you will faint here.

A must go for action figures (new or vintage) collectors, lot`s of cool stuff.read more
