I went in to have my Jewelry analyzed and see how much it could be worth. Needless to say, they were no help at all. All they told me was that my things were real gold and real diamonds, but that they couldn't take it since the quality wasn't the best. So then, I said "thank you! I understand but what would you guys price this since everything is real gold and real diamonds and not lab grown" and they said "we don't know" how are you guys a jeweler and don't even know the value of gold and diamonds? Anyways, please go somewhere else very unprofessional and seems like they don't know the value of things since they could not give me even give an estimate of what it would could be worth.

Our first time in was due to a beautiful piece of jewelry in the window. BUT what I ended up falling in love with was a beautiful sapphire ring. STUNNING, PERFECT. My husband was a doll and purchased it for me for our anniversary. Since then, we have gone in to peruse, and this last time I just wanted Michael to check the mounting of one of my rings. He not only did so, he cleaned and polished it. AND he let me try on all sorts of baubles. His store is amazing, HE is amazing, he somehow knows intrinsically what you may be interested in and willingly shows you pieces that make you swoon.

Well, where do I start? I've been doing business with Peter & Alex for over 30 years. Peter and…read moreAlex are most Professional Jewelers I have ever known. They are also the nicest people in the world. They know everybody in the Jewelry business so if they don't have it in stock they can get it for you. Alex is a World Class Bench Jeweler. He has been designing and repairing all types of jewelry for his entire life. Peter is Certified Jeweler with many credits to his name. Together, they make the most incredible "Team Brothers" in the most amazing town in the US. I can't think of a better and more memorable place to purchase a quality piece with memories that will last forever. Especially, if your in need of a Wedding Ring, why would you NOT go to Carmel and meet with Peter and Alex? You will get the best overall experience and a fair price with a lifetime of cleaning and service on your Wedding Ring. Plus, you get to tell everyone you got your ring in Carmel. How Romantic :-)

I think these guys ripped me off, selling me an Ethiopian opal ring that I later learned was…read moreextremely sensitive to water/oils and is essentially worthless aside from the gold it's set in for a cool $3000. I made the mistake of not knowing anything about opals before buying my ring on a whim during a wedding anniversary trip. I made several attempts to contact the business for a copy of the GIA report that I can't seem to find (perhaps they never gave it to me, perhaps I misplaced it). GIA reports don't list origin of the gem so I'm not sure it would be very helpful anyway. The first time I called and asked for a copy of the report, told me they'd get it to me in two weeks, but never called me back. I then tried to contact them via their website contact form and they never replied. Since then when I call, no one picks up. I would like to give these guys a chance to make things right and at least provide me with the information they promised me. They have my phone number. Maybe they will see this and reach out? I don't hate my ring, I just hate that they initially fleeced me and are now avoiding me. Yes, it's a jewelry store in an overpriced tourist town but still I expect transparency regarding my purchase. Buyer beware.

One thing about going to a new city is how you imagine an area in your mind's eye, sometimes…read moredoesn't match the reality. Knowing that this outdoor shopping center was 3 stories and had over 30 stores, I expected the area around it to be like a city center, with heavy foot and car traffic, lots of noise, and business advertisement. Instead, I wasn't sure if we were in the right place, because the neighborhood looked residential. The city planners/architects did a really nice job to implement this intention. The shopping center first opened in 1960, as an open-air courtyard style with a luxury department store, unheard of at the time for a town that small. Throughout the years, it hosted a major department store chain (Saks Fifth Avenue) as well. Now, in keeping with Carmel's intention to not have any national brand retail in it's city limits, the majority of stores/restaurants at this mall are local (though there are exceptions like Tiffany & Co, Anthropologie, and Brunello Cuccinelli). We got lucky and found free street a block from the center. Even on a Monday late morning, it was quite busy with tourists and locals alike hanging out in the main courtyard. A really nice feature was the large outdoor gas firepit that people were using to keep warm. We had come for a particular restaurant, but were informed that they were closed for the day for a private event (no signs or mention on their website)...I guess that's how this particular business rolls.

The center has three different levels with stairs in the middle and each side or if you desire an elevator, there is one on the end. During the weekend or summertime when it's busy, parking can be a challenge. There is a parking garage not far away if the street is full. If that is full, you may need to walk a bit. There is also some great places to eat such as The Flying Fish, a coffee shop, and a wine maker or two. In the center of the plaza, there is space to sit and enjoy the environment-just find some shade if it's warm!

I have mixed feelings about my visit to this shop in Carmel by the Sea, mainly because I asked a…read moreyoung sales associate a couple questions about the sale that was going on and she got noticeably irritated with me. I'm still not sure why. Also there was no indication that it was a Coach Outlet rather than a Coach Retail store, which I didn't figure out until I got home and read the Yelp reviews. The store was crowded with people and they had a ton of purses on display. I wanted to see a Chelsea 30 in brown suede, a bag I've been thinking about for a while, but they were sold out. I tried a similar bag but no go. I ended up buying a little Faye Shoulder Bag in the color chalk. The irritated sales associate got nicer the longer I spent in the store. The woman who rang me up was friendly and helpful. I haven't bought a Coach purse in over a decade, but I have to admit they are starting to appeal to me again.

I could have sworn the on-display bag i wanted to buy was a bit of a different color.. more reddish than the one they gave me when i went to buy. They said it was bc the display was out in the 'elements' and that my bag would also change colors. It sounds a bit far fetched but for the price i still love it. They did help me find a new bag with no marks on it so customer service was good in that sense. Hope i wasnt duped!

We designed it with an 18k gold band and platinum prongs to hold the diamond, and it turned out even better than we imagined. It's completely unique and so well made. Shelly was incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process, and we genuinely don't see ourselves going to anyone else in the future.
