To keep with the kitschy name of the shop, I'm gonna say this place is a pure GEM. Not stuffy or…read morepretentious as some crystal shops this tiny beaut is not to be missed when perusing the quaint town of Jim Thorpe. NOT to be confused with the "gem shop" on the main drag. Gem Thorpe is just a block past Muggles and on Race street that actually looks like a tiny alley. I was welcome to survey the multitudes of sparkly specimens without pressure. No hawking cameras, no shop keep up your back just pure positive energy and good vibes here! No doubt I missed a lot on my first visit as there are so many gemstones, crystals and jewelry items to see. As the weather is warming I know my day drives will lead me back to the mountains and inevitably back to Gem Thorpe.

The staff was more than helpful fixing an earring with quite a story behind it. Not only did they…read morego above and beyond replacing the missing earring they fixed the other one better than it was before and still kept the price better than I expected. To top it off the turn around time was very quick. I can't express how nice the staff was every time I was in the store. The one woman even sat on the floor with my 3 year old son and played with him while I took care of my order.

I have never had a bad experience at Murphy Jewelers!! During my first visit, I was actually…read morelooking for an idea for a Christmas present and every other jewelery store I had visited earlier that day or the day before pushed me into the engagement ring section because I was looking with my (at the time) boyfriend, so they assumed we were interested in engagement rings. After only dating for a few months that was not in the plans. When we walked in, they were very welcoming and asked if there was anything in particular we were interested in. They actually listened when I said I was looking for a gift idea!! We had the opportunity to look around the store and ask any questions. Even though the goal wasn't to find an engagement ring that day, I did fall in love with one that my (now) finance ended up getting for me! Every time I need to get my ring cleaned or polished I have the best confidence in leaving my ring in their care and coming to pick it up later. In addition to my ring, I have other jewelery items from Murphy's and I love each and every piece I own. They take pride in their work and try to make sure their customers get the best care and jewelery they are looking for!!

Jim Thorpe is a little town with an oaky smokey vibe so there are a lot of little shops set up to…read moretake advantage of that and sell you a bunch of shitty trinkets trading on that vibe. This is not one of them. Sure, they're in retail so they're getting their herbs and candles and such in bulk and selling them for a markeup. They're a STORE. Duh. The differnce is the quality of the items and the fact that Heather & Zech are clearly in and of the craft, and have a sense for how to help you get what you actually need without taking advantage. Came in recently with my husband and got exactly the candles and herb I needed without being hassled or upsold or in some way bamboozled by that money hungry trinket vendor at a flea market vibe you don't want to deal with. You know the one. It's not likely that I'll come to Jim Thorpe often as it's so out of the way, but if and when I do again, I will come here and stock up on supplies.

My consultant was so sweet, greeted us so nicely and sat down with me to discuss what it is that I do and don't want in a dress. She then let me and my family loose in the store to pick out some dresses, and she chose some as well based on what I told her. I tried on A LOT of dresses, but she was so patient with me and never rushed me, even though my appointment started to push into her next appointment (at which point another consultant took over, no biggie!). I didn't end up buying my dress, but I left happy and with a stronger idea of what I want. I hope all bridal shops are this nice!

I absolutely love the merchandise in the store, they always have really cool spellbinding items…read more Tarot cards, inexpensive jewelry, incense, cool books etc. I've bought some cool items here in the past. The signage towards customers is downright snarky and rude. That's why I am giving the lower rating. Very unfriendly customer service. Don't expect to be welcome either when you come in. If you're in the area, it's a very cool store to check out. They, unlike many other stores, are actually OPEN. There is a lot to look at too! Stop by and check the place out, but don't expect a warm welcome and be prepared for rude signs targeted toward customers.

Started a refund and already sent the unit back to them when they said they would repair it... they keep dodging my calls and when I finally speak to someone they keep giving me the run around that they are too busy. 900 dollars! it's going to be 5 months now, horrible service! Had to send them to collections and currently in a legal dispute with them. They never respond to emails and once in a blue moon they answer the phone. STEER CLEAR! I'm a victim of theft. AND NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM VIA EBAY, completely unprofessional in my experience with them. Beware. Deserve no stars.
