What a job Finch Jewelers has done! My fiancé (she said yes ) had a look of shock, horror, joy, and…read moreeverything in between when she saw me down there with this ring. I can happily say that she was surprised! While working with Julia, she knew I wanted to capture something stunning, with a little twist but not too much, and with a beautiful complement of side diamonds but not too many, and to have the ring with plenty of time before the proposal, but not too much! I knew I wanted the ring without knowing exactly when I'd propose, but Julia worked with me every step of the way! Offering expert insight, her suggestions at each phase, and being willing to teach me about each detail with the ring and the diamond, especially the mounting! I am grateful for the time Julia spent helping me navigate a million different choices for the perfect ring to give the love of my life. Thank you to all of the special people at Finch Jewelers who take care of everyone else's special person!

Wonderful customer service. I took my dad here to have some links removed from his watch. They were…read morehappy to help and were quick and efficient. They didn't ignore us just because we weren't there to spend big bucks like some jewelers. While we waited, we wandered around and looked at all the shiny treasures. They have beautiful pieces there and it's easy to see why their reviews are so good. When I'm in the market for a unique piece of jewelry, they will get my return business.

A very shady business, would not recommend buying from them. I won three lots in an online auction…read morerecently and was told I was outbid. How could I be outbid when I'm the only bid placed on that Lot? It makes no sense whatsoever.

Both times the appraisers were rude and ignorant. They did not even try to be accommodating. And both times they literally ran out of my house like they were on fire. The only reason I keep getting saddled with them is because they low-ball all the other appraisal companies. If at all possible, stay way from these crooks!!!

I reached out to Academy Appraisal, Inc to do a private appraisal for my home since my wife and I…read moregoing thru a divorce. The owner Steve was very helpful and explained the whole process to me. Then straight from speaking to him I was passed onto the scheduler who wasted no time giving me a very fast appointment. The appraiser that came out was just as thorough and very knowledgeable about the area and his line of work. Any questions I had he did not hesitate to answer them. I would definitely use them again (hopefully I won't have to) and would refer them to anybody who needs an appraisal done on their home or business.

Came across a sign advertising 50% off all plants on State Rd a few weeks back. As a plant momma…read moreI'm always on the lookout for different varieties to add to my collection. Leabrook Farms is a place I could see from 283 but never really knew how to get there to access it. It's a few miles off State Rd., on Leabrook Rd, and you can't miss it. A storm was brewing that day when I arrived so I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked. Every plant was 50% off, even ones already on sale were not excluded from the sale. They had annuals, perennials, succulents, houseplants, and arrangements. I was in awe. Tables and tables of plants in good condition, small and large + a few greenhouses. I filled a wagon and had I had a larger vehicle would have gotten more. Some of my favorite scores were the succulents, a decent size, all $1 and some change after the discount. I also scored a massive mostera plant for less than $10 that at Lowes for that size sells for $64. In hindsight I wish I would have bought them all for resale and made a few bucks. While many of the plants were labeled, there were many more that were not. Since I'm looking more for low light houseplants, a label identifying the plant and care instructions would have been helpful for many of the items I bought. The plain (Mennonite) employee there said they came from an auction and she didn't have any information. Also some of the prearranged plants in ceramic containers had chips, and or appeared to be used, like they picked them up at a thrift store. Not that I'm opposed to that, but some weren't in the best of shape. I made it out right before the storm, barely, with a car full of plants in tow. I would visit them again even at full price, but most definitely at their 50% sale. Since they are plain owned and operated no Sunday hours.

The kitty there is to die for, the absolute sweetest and good prices I will be returning:)read more
