They staff is passionate and knowledgeable about the makers whose work they carry, and they carry such a wide selection of unique items by local artisans, as well as by global artisans. Most of the items I have purchased at Shady Lane fall under the category of jewelry, but I have also been very pleased with their selection of offbeat, small-maker clothing and outerwear. I appreciate that I can buy holiday gifts for a wide range of family members, from babies to adults, under one roof. A typical visit for me involves spending between ten and ninety minutes poring over their collection of Trollbeads (IYKYK). Then I move on to the artisan jewelry, the crystals, and the small woodworking (think jewelry boxes). And then, when possible, I blow kisses to the little dog behind the counter! I've also been to a few of their special events over the years, including a PassionArt Designs glass bead extravaganza. PS: It's taken me years and years to finish this review because it's one of my favorite places ever!

    After lying about everything that happened, this business is still selling my crystals and…read moregemstones -- a collection worth well over $20,000. She knows this and is profiting from the years of hard work, time, and money I invested. She gave me $1,300 as a deposit until she could finish going through everything. There was never an agreement, contract, or discussion that she was keeping my entire collection. She simply decided on her own that everything now belonged to her. I have letters and emails showing the truth: one where she says my crystals had "no value" and that she was prepared to return them, and another -- written less than an hour later -- where she suddenly claims the matter was "closed" and that they were now hers, even signing off with "legal file" at the bottom. I will be posting these documents and pictures as proof. Anyone in this industry knows that 18 bins of crystals -- over 2,000 pieces -- could never be worth just $1,300. Yet she took it upon herself to keep everything, then listed the items for sale the very next day at much higher prices. On top of that, I received an email threatening that if I didn't take down my reviews and even lie to ABC7 On Your Side by saying the matter was resolved, she would sue me for defamation. But nothing has been resolved. I lost my collection of more than 10 years, and someone else is making money off it. The truth is not defamation. The real issue is simple: return my crystals or pay me their value. You have no claim, no contract, and no right to take my property.

Mark and Debra went above and beyond to welcome our enthusiastic group, creating a warm and engaging environment where curiosity was encouraged and celebrated. They took time to teach the students about different types of rocks and gemstones, answered countless questions with patience and excitement, and truly leaned into the children's love of learning. What made the visit even more special was how thoughtfully they worked within the students' budget while helping them select rocks for our school's Gemstone Club. It meant so much to see a local business open their doors to a group of energetic kids and turn the visit into a meaningful educational experience. The combination of kindness, flexibility, and genuine passion made this outing memorable for everyone involved. We are so grateful!

I had my rings resized up 2.5 sizes and was really nervous about the integrity of the settings afterward, especially with the diamonds, but it's been about a month+ of regular wear and everything is still perfect. No loose stones, no diamonds falling out, and the resize looks good. Super happy with the craftsmanship and care put into my rings. Rodrigo was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and immediately made me feel at ease. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and the people trusting him with sentimental pieces. It's hard to find people who are both skilled and trustworthy, and safe to say I won't be going anywhere else for my jewelry needs.

This piece means a lot to me--it was given to me by my sister before her wedding, and I use it to hold my husband's star number. When I shared that with him, he told me that if it's valuable to me, then it's valuable to him too. That really stuck with me. I included before and after photos, and honestly, I love that the repaired spot has a little character now--it tells a story. It feels even more meaningful than before. Kind, professional, and truly cares about his work. I'll definitely be a returning customer.

Right when we walked in, the atmosphere felt calm, welcoming, and positive. It immediately made us feel comfortable browsing and taking our time. It looked like they may have recently opened since there were a few boxes and some unpacked items around, but it did not take away from the experience at all. If anything, it made the shop feel fresh and new. The staff were very kind and approachable. They took the time to answer our questions and explain the meanings and uses of different crystals, which was really helpful since we are still learning. It did not feel rushed or intimidating at all. We also learned that they offer aura photography, which is something I have always been curious about. The booking process is simple and can be done online, and 39 dollars for a solo session feels like a fair price. We did not try it this time, but it definitely gave us a reason to come back. The crystal selection was nice, and the prices were very reasonable, making it easy to pick up a few items without feeling like you are overspending. Overall, it was a really enjoyable visit. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone interested in crystals, tarot, or just looking for a peaceful place to explore something new. I will be coming back again soon.

I also found out that they offered aura photography which was something I always wanted to try. The booking process can be easily done online. $39 per solo session for a session is reasonable, in my opinion. I highly recommend you book your session before coming because spots are limited! You can park at the parking garage on 2nd and San Carlos corner. It's free for the first 90 minutes which should be ample enough for all your crystal browsing needs :) This store is so cute!!! The interior is bright and light with neutral floor and beige wall! You'll be like a kids in a candy store if you're a crystal enthusiast like me! There are cute crystals everywhere!!! Cute mirror for Instagram photo ops! Honestly I can stay here for hours if I could! We went inside the aura photography room for our session. My friend and I each did a solo session. You'll sit in front of a Polaroid-looking camera. You put both of your hands into the metal outlines of hand shapes next to you. Look at the camera and voila you're done! Theresa the owner was so warm and accommodating. She made us feel welcomed and at home. The aura photos came out quickly within minutes. Theresa sat us down, presented the aura chart and the list of aura colors and their meanings. She asked us to guess which aura colors we might think we had and then presented our aura pics for us. Both my friend and I were blown away by how accurate our auras were! OMG ! I'm hooked now! Overall, we had a wonderful experience there and left the store with some cute bracelets for ourselves and loved ones. We also felt uplifted and spiritually cleansed! Highly recommend this store to anyone. I'll be back, Theresa !
