Best best jewelry buying experience! We are customers for life now!…read more I emailed the shop a couple weeks before our trip to see if they would be open over the holidays and if they had items in our price range. They replied back that they had a plethora of items and would be open. (Yay!) When we were in town visiting folks we popped into the store a few days after Christmas ready to view estate pieces and pick one out! We were so thrilled Estate Jewelry LTD had a large array of very well curated pieces spanning many eras and designs. The shop owner was a delight to work with and someone you just enjoying doing business with because they are honest and have a great personality. We happily chatted away while trying on nearly 30 pieces. He took the time to explain pieces and had a keen eye for finding and suggesting items to try on that I would like. The process was really fun and we felt no time or purchase pressure which made the process all the more pleasant for us. The mutual respect we shared with the shop for keeping estate pieces intact and respecting the integrity and creativity of design was an added bonus. It is refreshing to find a shop that celebrates estate pieces for their beauty and charm. We had a few favorites but eventually settled on a gorgeous pair of diamond and ruby earrings. Checkout and pricing was a breeze! He even printed up the appraisal speedily after paying. They have a large array of pieces spanning many different periods, designs and pricing points. They welcomed any budget and had pieces to offer one would love the price as much as the piece. I would really recommend this to shop to someone looking for a special gift, wedding or engagement pieces, and especially to those who are seeking to sell jewelry as they really celebrate the beauty of estate pieces. I would HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone and plan on returning many times and anytime I need something special!
