I only come here for Magic the Gathering. I've come for pre-release events, current-set drafts,…read morechaos drafts and one store draft championship. The events are well-coordinated and the hosts are always friendly, one even remembers me by name. The fellow magic patrons are generally friendly and generally less-competitive than you'll find at Enchanted Grounds or Wizard's Chest. (The events at this game store are usually stated as more about having fun than the competition.) I've always had fun here. All of these events have taken about as long as expected even though some start a little late due to demand. Sometimes events are coordinated online. When it comes to prizes, it's a pack-a-match win. You choose your won pack from current standard, in-universe set packs. Special events may have additional prizes. When it comes to cost/value for your money, they're better than at least half of the game stores I've played at for similar events. As far as the location, they're located along historic, downtown Golden. A lot of restaurants and shops up-and-down the street if you come early. Given when their events are usually timed, there's free ramp parking behind the store. This is my favorite game store I've ever played magic at out of a total of 9 between the areas of Longmont, Boulder, Golden, Littleton, Denver and Castle Rock.

Lots of modern jewelry too however I did not see pricing on those pieces - they were in locked cases. There was a guy there buying an engagement ring and the sales woman was being very patient with him and explaining the differences in a way that was gentle as he was clearly a bit nervous (that's when I said Awwww...). P.s. Their diamonds are conflict free so extra points for that. They will also make custom pieces and said they get really busy during bridal season. They can also make earrings with clips for the non-pierced crowd- we will be heading back for a consult for my sister the bride- to- be. I picked up an adorable turquoise purse/satchel with a gold strap for my sister to take on her honeymoon - with a sticker price of $60 I was able to use my check in offer on it- thanks Yelp. I checked out their website as we did not get to stay very long as we were surprising said bride- to- be sister with a brunch and I popped in here as a stall tactic. The website has deals of the week such as half price rings etc. I look forward to heading back.

Though I don't make much time for puzzles, it's a phenomenal local business to support by enrolling in a monthly membership.

It feels special being local because I like to physically walk around to select my monthly puzzles, though they ship around the country. Everyone who works here is wonderfully helpful. They're impressively organized in their puzzle borrowing system. There's puzzles for sale as well. Someday I'd love to check out one of the monthly jigsaw puzzle competitions - people seem hardcore.

CJ Kard in Colorado Springs is a retailer of L.O. products, and we were fortunate to have recently ordered some Save The Date cards through them. We were brain-fried after going through page after page of designs by some large corporate stationers/printers. After some discussion, CJ Kard realized we might be interested in an in-state printer who dabbled in being "green" - and L.O. was introduced. We were super excited to discover that L.O. offers a variety of paper stock with at least 30% PCW up to 100%, and their website details other Earth-good practices. We loved how all the stationery was customizable, but the cheapest way to go is to stick with existing designs and layouts. The first proof is free. Within three days after putting in our order and including the photo we wanted them to use, L.O. sent an electronic proof. We made a minor adjustment, and 7 days later, our cards arrived! They turned out better than I expected - they even look better than the proof! The colors are wonderful, the designs are crisp, and I love the feel of the paper. L.O. included envelopes for the number of cards we ordered and threw in a couple extra cards as keepsakes. After all was said and done with CJ Kard taking their share of the profits and Uncle Sam taking his, our SaveTheDates ended up being $1.48/card. We're so pleased that we're going to try to do our invitations with L.O., too. So if you want to send unique Christmas postcards, party invitations, announcements, wedding stationery made by a Colorado company, I highly recommend you find a retailer that works with Lucky Onion!

Not worth it if you want a ring made properly…read more My sister got her engagement/wedding rings from Sarah O back when they were newer- and I love their designs so I had said for 5 years I wanted my rings from here. My fiancé bought me the Nova ring and proposed 12/22. 12/23 I took a closer look and saw that the prongs on my center stone were FAR from flush on the stone (see pictures, iPhone cameras are wild). Which is a problem because if they snag on clothes or furniture the prongs bend more and the stone can loosen and fall out. On top of that one of the halo stones was loose (video). On a BRAND NEW, never worn ring. We took it to Sarah O and they admitted fault and said of course they'de repair the ring- under the limited warranty it was all covered, but it will take 3-4 weeks. Bummer.. but glad the solution was simple no pushback... Don't underestimate how disappointing it is to tell all of your loved ones you are engaged and everyone says where is the ring, they reach for your hand and there's nothing there. I 3 weeks go by and I get the ring back, Prongs on the main stone were fixed.... But the loose halo stone... they smushed the setting from the top in order to secure the mele stone- causing the sides to fan out creating a gap from the sides of the setting to the diamond. Which ruined the symmetry of the ring and disrupted the sparkle of the halo diamonds because of the way it was sitting. (See photos) Devastated. Emailed with the new problem was told "we had professional jewelers quality check the ring so the stone is secure but if you want to we can fix this for you, we will rush it so it's done in 1 week"... Quality check the ring??? I know I said I wanted the stone secured and not loose, I didn't assume I'd have to specify that professional jewelers should fix it the right way...... I send it back. Next day, I get a call from our customer support contact.... Tells me that manipulating the metal in this way would ruin the integrity of that setting, more likely to bend and fail holding the stone- so they're recommending that they completely recast the ring. However - that will take 6 weeks. If I don't want to wait that long they can send the flawed ring back as is... assuring me the stone is secure... but what they didn't say is that- that would mean that if the stone ever fell out due to normal wear and tear ... to have it fixed they would still need to recast the ring but my warranty would probably be expired and I'd have to pay for it. So I sent it back. Nearly 6 weeks go by and I email to check on my rings status. They say it'll be done "the week of the 23rd." So that means it could be done on FRIDAY of that week when it should be done Friday the week prior - that is 6 weeks- and you should be mailing it to me ON the 23rd - you've had 6 WEEKS!!! The "week of the 23rd is 7 WEEKS" and if it isn't done until Friday that means you'll be mailing it to me the next week and be pushing 8 weeks! So I sent an email detailing exactly what I just said. And lone behold they were able to ship the ring to me the next day. I recieved it and checked it 5xs over and it seems to be fixed. Fixed so well I'm seeing flaws from the previous ring I never even pointed out were fixed: My V prongs apparently were very sloppily made the first time (see last picture) lol. Honestly comical now. They gave us a 25% discount code to compensate us for the trouble to use towards a wedding band- because we asked for it we felt like we should get something, they didn't initiate this offer- but I'm not sure I want to purchase from them again anyway. Besides they had a Black Friday sale for 20% off in November so it doesn't particularly feel like a fair recompense for being without my ring for 3 months. The good news is the Sarah O team was always very responsive and respectful and owned their mistakes. -denial would've been much worse. Just very unfortunate that it takes so much advocacy and the fact that you as a non-professional really have to double check their work and make them do it right rather than them doing it right the first time. We have a family friend who also purchased their engagement ring from here within the past year or so and while they didn't have the same construction issues their ring was A MONTH DELAYED. They had to replan their whole engagement plan. And as I mentioned my sister got her rings from here years ago and hasn't had a problem, hasn't lost a stone so. ‍ idk maybe their production system changed. I like my ring- but I bet I could find a ring I like just as much elsewhere. That's what I suggest you do. ..... Will update this review should the longevity of my ring turn out to be an issue.

My boyfriend and I have been really disappointed in the service we received at Sarah O. Our…read moreappointment space was claustrophobic and we were rushed discussing a custom ring. We were required to submit a $200 non refundable deposit before even seeing the design of the ring, which I thought was ridiculous. The biggest red flag was the price. With a simple custom design using a 1.5ct lab grown diamond and yellow gold we were quoted near $11,000. The stone itself was quoted at $2,000 which is insane for a lab grown diamond. We went somewhere else for comparison, and learned their price to create an even more customized ring with a larger 3ct lab diamond the cost was only $3,500. Sarah O has some beautiful pieces and most of the staff are so nice, but our experience made us wary and I wanted to share our experience to make sure other couples consider their options for comparison before paying potentially unnecessary premium prices. Do your research for fair prices for the center stones you want. Every person's experience is unique to them, I hope this was helpful!
