About a year ago I found an incredibly beautiful green tourmaline stone that I wanted set into a…read moreright hand/cocktail ring, but I struggled to find a jeweler that would work with my vision. They all told me no. Enter 'The Jewel Box' in downtown FXBG. They were amazing from beginning to end! They were kind, professional and most importantly they listened to me and understood my taste and vision. They never said 'No' to me, but instead worked with me to find a way to yes. The end result? A dream ring that knocked my socks off!!! If I could give this place 10 stars I would!

They said they it would have to send it out and it would take a couple of weeks. I told them that it was no problem. Well, 3 months later I got the call my earring was repaired. I went to pick it up. It was $150.00! I was never given a estimate. Silly me just assumed that since they fixed the other earring for $25. This one would be similar priced. I was never told that it would be 6 times more to fix! I feel that I have been taken advantage of. I will not ever go there again. The ladies at the front counter were very nice, but not $150.00 nice. Buyer beware!

If you're in the market for watches, jewelry, or something truly unique and special, Crown Jewelers…read moreis the place to go. Located in historic Fredericksburg, this shop offers a great mix of quality pieces and a welcoming experience. Justin is personable, professional, and very knowledgeable nothing like the typical pushy salesperson. He takes the time to listen and makes thoughtful recommendations based on what you're actually looking for. The service is top-notch. While they are no longer an authorized Rolex dealer, they do carry Longines watches, along with a beautiful selection of estate jewelry. They regularly host estate jewelry events, which are definitely worth attending if you're looking for one-of-a-kind pieces rather than mass-produced items. I also love that they support local talent, they carry a great selection of jewelry from local designers. Everyone who works there is incredibly kind, and their gift-wrapping is excellent. Make a day of visiting Crown Jewelers and exploring other local businesses in historic Fredericksburg. Highly recommend!

I entrusted this jeweler with four custom rings made from my late mother's diamonds for her four…read moregranddaughters. A few years later, one ring lost its diamond. Thankfully, we found it and brought it back to the same jeweler for repair. Three days after picking it up, the head of the ring detached and the diamond was lost forever. When I returned, I was told, "The head was weak and that happens." No apology. No accountability. I was later told they "can't predict the future." Despite the rings being originally made there and the repair failing within days, I was charged again to fix it using one of the last remaining stones from my mother's jewelry. I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years. The lack of care, craftsmanship, and basic empathy during an incredibly emotional situation was shocking. I will never return and strongly recommend taking your business to the jeweler across the street.

If you have any item, whether it is a piece of jewelry or timepiece that you care for, DO NOT take it to this establishment. I would not even take costume jewelry to this guy. HE SIMPLY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING. I purchased an expensive watch that only needed to be sized. After taking the band of my watch apart and after working on it for 20 minutes, he became flustered, handed it back to me in pieces and asked me to work on it myself. After, I insisted that he return the watch to me in the condition he received it, his response was "I will have to charge you for that?". WHAT!!! Are you serious?, I asked. I'm gonna make a long story short. The police department was called by me and when the officer showed up the officer quickly determined that this jewelry repair man was under the influence of alcohol. The repairman admitted to the officer that he had a couple of glasses of wine. The officer stated, "you had more than a couple of glasses of wine, I've been doing this for over 30 years". My expensive luxury watch is now in pieces and will be taken to a reputable jeweler. Do not patronize this hack shop. This guy is a jewelry repair quack.

The customer services is terrible and the owner is extremely rude. Whether you are seeking to sell or purchase I would highly recommend doing your research before going to these people and find yourself another establishment not associated with this group.

Our experience at Electric Pair O' Dice was PARADISE!…read more I'll go into detail for parents considering signing off on a piercing for their teen, as I was. Reviews helped us settle on this tattoo & piercing parlor. It looked as legit as could be and already had good testimonials and insta pics. It was even better in real life. My 14 y o daughter did all her own research for a septum piercing, saved up for it, and felt ready. Of course she was still nervous and had questions for her piercer. Enter Tina. Trust me, if your minor is getting a body piercing, Tina is who you want holding the needle. She came around from the counter, sat on the bench with my daughter, answered all her questions, eased her anxiety. From this conversation alone, I knew my daughter was in good hands. If you're wondering what to bring, they took her state ID and birth certificate for age verification, and my license for parental authorization. Fill out a form and it's on to the piercing booth !! Tina explained each step directly to my daughter, respecting her as the informed client. She was clearly in tune with my teen's body language; I cannot emphasize enough how well Tina kept the energy in the room a perfect balance of relaxed anticipation. She took care preparing my daughter's little nose, gently probing to identify the "sweet spot" while talking her through all of it. My daughter said the needle was less painful than she expected. She's been so excited for this moment and is really thrilled with the result. Her silver septum clicker looks adorable, and she is relieved it's perfectly centered. Care instructions were provided along with cleaning solution. Tina made sure we understood what to expect of the healing process and set us up with a few checkup appointments. I recommend Electric Pair O' Dice and Tina specifically, 100%. Yes: teen friendly

They sold home furnishings, jewelry, books, and incense. Payment to the vendors was done by cash app or to the store in cash. They did not accept credit card. Service was very helpful and professional. The store was very spacious, clean, and had eye catching displays from different vendors. It had a sitting area with a fireplace and giant screen television in the shop. Used Books were priced at $5. They had new & signed books written by local authors . They gave free candy and stickers to visitors. There are events held there. I purchased black tourmaline crystals from the store and velvet cord necklaces made by Punkin Designs. Some of the items I wanted to purchase were not priced and the vendors were not available when contacted. I will definitely come back to this place.

But the last time we were there the nice woman behind the counter suggested I take a look in the back room. There was a small but very cool collection of "guy" items. Knives, cigar stuff and lots of things for your bar. Then I spotted an epic glass globe with tubes set on a diagonal and resting in a wooden base. You pour your scotch in the top and it sits in the globe that you spin to aerate it. Inside the globe is a small glass schooner that spins with the globe. On either side is a scotch glass with the continents etched on them. I had to have it. Price was reasonable but the wood had a small scratch on it. No problem. They ordered a new one and called me a week later to come pick it up. All in all an unexpected find. Highly recommend making a visit. Wives will love the clothes and the guys can check out the back room. Worthwhile trip. Five stars.
