Monica is an amazing teacher. I was vacationing near Miami and wanted to start learning calligraphy…read moreas a New Year's resolution. I found Monica on a google search and feel like I couldn't have been more fortunate in finding a teacher. Her teaching is so meticulously thought out and the practice lessons are simple yet so precise as to yield excellent results. When she explains the nuances of lettering, breaking down shapes and spacing of letters and and how all of it effects the finished impression, I'll never look at handwriting the same again. She has volumes of books that she put together to help with whatever style calligraphy one is interested in and was able to, with a short conversation, figure out exactly what was best for my goals. I walked in with zero experience and a pretty rough scrawl and am confident with consistent practice with her methods that I will absolutely succeed. I will definitely be scheduling another lesson on my next trip to Florida.

Most people would agree that Tiffany sells world class jewelry, handbags, and many other gifts and…read moreaccessories. But, they should also know that the employees at Tiffany's are as valuable and worthy of praise as the diamonds on their jewelry. I bought a beautiful handbag seven years ago and brought it to the Coral Gables store to have it repaired. Deimante, an employee at the Coral Gables store is the epitome of a Tiffany employee. She is brilliant, thoughtful, kind and more helpful than I could have imagined. Deimante told me that she would send my handbag to Italy to be repaired. She said it would take about 3 weeks to restore the bag and that there would be no charge as Tiffany stands by all their products. She made the whole experience easy and carefree as she did when she sold me a beautiful diamond cross necklace.The handbag came back 3 weeks later, as beautiful and elegant as the day I bought it! I have been a loyal customer of Tiffany for many years and I have confidence that as long as they have employees like Deimante, customers like me can rest assured that all my purchases will continue to remain in the same condition in the future as they were the day I bought them.

The packaging too is carefully and meticulously thought of to bring you back to the era of beautifully handwritten letters, quills, inks and wax seals. I wanted a couple of poems done and we had a conversation about what I thought would be nice for the ink and what kind of paper to use, there were a couple of suggestions, she ran with it and added a few more surprises to the poems which transformed them into art pieces that were all the more worthy of keepsakes that are to be framed on the wall. If this fits your style for any paper and handwritten goods, I definitely recommend Inkpush.

I recently needed a piece of jewelry repaired and was on a tight timeline. In the past, I hadn't…read morealways had the best experience with repairs being handled efficiently, so I asked a friend for a recommendation. Without hesitation, she suggested Tina at Barclay's Jewelers. I stopped by during my lunch break and immediately understood why. Tina took the time to listen to what I needed, offered thoughtful advice about shortening a necklace, and made the entire process seamless. The repair was completed in record time, and I even received a notification as soon as it was ready for pickup. What truly impressed me, however, was what happened next. I recently lost part of an earring that had originally been custom-made elsewhere. I had always felt the closure wasn't particularly secure, so when one earring was lost, I was heartbroken. I brought the remaining earring to Barclay's hoping they could recreate it. Not only were they able to make a perfect match, but they also suggested a more secure screw-back closure and upgraded the pearls. When I originally had the earrings custom-made, I specifically asked whether the closure could be made more secure and was told it wasn't possible. Barclay's immediately identified a simple solution that not only solved the problem but likely would have prevented me from losing the original earring in the first place. The finished earrings are absolutely beautiful, and I have complete confidence that they will stay securely in place. Their attention to detail, practical expertise, and commitment to doing things the right way made all the difference. As a bonus, during my visits I discovered that Tina is close friends with a family I know and love. Hearing the wonderful things they had to say about Tina, her family, and their business only reinforced the impression I had already formed. Barclay's has earned a customer for life. Whether you're looking to purchase fine jewelry, need a repair, or want something custom-made, I highly recommend them. Exceptional service, excellent craftsmanship, and genuinely kind people. Five stars, without hesitation.
