I had such an incredible experience trying to get My four year olds ears pierced! The staff was all so friendly and patient and when my daughter panicked and changed her mind, they made me feel so comfortable even though we spent almost 45 minutes. They didn't pressure us and when my daughter is truly ready we will for sure go back! read more

On a lark, my friend and I decided to get double piercings today. We had a fantastic experience at Desires. Angela was informative, friendly, helpful and did a perfect job. We had so much fun and we're happy wore our new look.Thank you! read more

It's very easy to shop local when there are shops like Desires! While there are gorgeous, high end pieces, there are also amazing pieces of jewelry and other gifts at many price points. Also love how they give back to the community with fabulous events. Highly recommend this place! read more

David E. was a fantastic! Professional, patient and got the complicated order completed without a hitch! Everyone loves their gifts, so thank you David E. And Desires for another job beautifully done! Thank you! read more

I went to Desires after seeing a Piece I loved off their Instagram page, and even though it was over an hour away.. it was WORTH the visit to there store! Customer service was amazing, David was such a sweetheart and made my shopping experience worth it. Tara and Scott have truly made jewelry shopping an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! read more

Great selection, various price points. Love Tara and the whole team, such a nice vibe. Everyone is super helpful and love their stuff!!

All you can say about this establishment is "amazing". Yes of course it's stunningly beautiful - just like it's owners - but it's much more than that. Customer service and assistance is beyond reproach. They are helpful and insightful and knowledgeable and oh yes - nice! Their selection is exquisite- unique and extremely high end. Price range allows buyers with any budget to acquire something to treasure. They have special theme nights where some of their proceeds help animals in need. They are always available to answer questions. They have a stellar reputation that includes piercing ears for first timers. Bottom line - "Desires" is a gem. Worth a visit from anywhere to there ! read more

This place has gorgeous jewelry and the absolute best customer service. At the recommendation of some other moms, I brought my daughter in to get her ears pierced and left with a very, very happy kid! They were amazing with her. Can't recommend them highly enough. Got my own rings cleaned up beautifully, too, and may or may not have also bought some earrings for myself! read more

This store is amazing. I went in last week with my seven year old and her friend. Both of their ear piercings had closed up and we needed to get re-pierced. (They were both pierced previously at other places in Westchester.) Scott explains everything to the girls and my daughter sits down to have the piercing. He says he can still see a little of the previous hole so will just try to push the earring in. So it of course goes right in, he then proceeds to do the same with my daughters friend. He was so great with both girls, and then even refused to take money for the earrings. We will definitely be back for more shopping, as the jewelry is absolutely beautiful as well. Thanks so much Mikolay for making our experience awesome! read more

I have shopped at Desires by Mikolay 3 times now, every time has been an amazing experience. They always make you feel welcome, their customer service is the best. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!! They hosted a "Men's Night Out" event that included games, food, discounts and drinks! The event was awesome and it really emphasizes how much they care about their customers. read more

I recently brought a Gold Figaro bracelet into Desires by Mikolay to be repaired. I bought this bracket in the late 90's it was one of my first pieces of jewelry I bought myself so I really wanted it repaired. I trust Scott, the staff and his store more than anything so I know it will be fixed by the best. But what I did not know is that gold jumped a huge amount since then and my bracelet is worth so much more than I thought. I wear my bracelet everywhere without a second thought. Well I guess times are changing, but one thing that will never change is my trust in Desires by Mikolay. Seriously, Thank You! read more

I have been a patron of Desires since they opened. Their friendly staff and excellent service set them apart from others. The ambiance of the store is airy and bright. Their selection changes often and what I like best about them is that they have a range of prices and styles of jewelry ranging from traditional to trendy. The on site repairs is a big plus- saves time and money- and their complimentary jewelry cleaning service (every time you com in even just to browse) keep my baubles looking bright! Definitely stop in! read more

Desires by Mikolay is the best retail store to open in Chappaqua in the 21 years I have lived there. In retail challenged downtown Chappaqua, Desires has become a destination for Westchester residents from many miles away. Scott Mikolay, and his wife Tara own and operate the establishment along with their well trained, friendly staff. Their carefully edited collection of jewelry and watches has something for evey budget, and there is no pressure to upsell. Scott is a highly skilled jeweler, and also offers his own creations. Tara runs the front of the store. She is warm, friendly, and very good at helping clients find something that works for them in their own price range. What's more Scott and Tara are generous supporters of local charities and causes-- and they do it quietly. The store is spacious and elegant. I have bought anniversary and birthday gifts for my wife there for the past 10 years. Not only does Tara know my taste and budget, she even remembers what I purchased for my wife previously so I don't duplicate! Oh--one more thing-- their pricing is very competitive, and they occaisonally have days where everything in the store is for sale at a discount based on the price of the item-- as they did last week during the Chappaqua Summer Sale Day. Go and see for yourself. read more

I have walked past this place 1,000 times thinking it was just another one of those obnoxiously expensive Chappaqua boutiques. But I recently walked by with a watch that needed a new battery. Much to my surprise they offered this service for $15 and took care of me in about 15 minutes. The service was first rate and even gave me a goody bag which I assume is typically for the customers buying more expensive items. The counter person who helped was both charming and courteous. I would go back in a heartbeat to purchase something more substantial when the time comes. read more

A big thank you to Scott and Tara. They made my old diamond earring look like brand new!!! They are very trusting and do great work. Again than read more

I've worked with Tara and Scott Mikolay for many years now as the publisher of Chappaqua's hometown magazine since 2003. I simply can't say enough about their professionalism and support of local media and local non profits. But my greatest praise is simply for the store, its enthusiastic and dedicated staff and ultimately, what it offers. Tara and Scott both have a keen eye for both hip and timeless jewelry designs, and Scott's own designs dazzle and inspire. I have experienced, witnessed and heard about stellar customer service over and over. My own collection from Desires is precious to me. A piece about them appears in the current February 2011 merchant profiles issue of Inside Chappaqua, online at www.insidechappaqua.com. read more

I brought my 1yr old daughter there to get her ears pierced and I was so pleased with Scott and one of the other employees who did the piercing. They were so calming, meticulous, and professional. It made a very nervous mom much more relaxed and so relieved that my daughter only cried for a minute :) You guys are awesome! read more
