Over the years, we have bought pieces here because the young kids became teens and we took their tastes into consideration for major pieces. So many galleries are dismissive when they see someone who they believe isn't a buyer. But families are good customers. Not surprised they have stayed in biz.

The artwork is breathtaking and the curator/owner is incredibly knowledgable and friendly. I have visited a number of times to view the art and ask questions. I have a water color painting from the gallery, beautifully framed and it's the best piece I have ever owned. I can't recommend this gallery and it's owner enough.

Since writing my review yesterday of the North Star glass gallery, I have not been able to stop…read morethinking of a quaint little gift shop that I have visited many times in Nantucket because the beautiful and colorful glass is what first drew me inside. Through the years I have collected many things, from antiques to sports memorabilia with Norman Rockwell in between, enough so that I could probably open my own shop. Call me a pack rat, if you will, but my fascination with glass catches every one's eyes. I once had a comment from a visitor coming along as a date with our male friend and he commented on my paperweight collection and she said, oh you can buy those at Target, Ha! I buy nothing unless it is signed or marked and if it has papers, all the better. It is here at the Beach Glass of Nantucket that I bought my one and only extra large "paperweight". It measures 11" wide by 10" tall and 4' deep and is the most gorgeous sunset scene! It weighs a ton and they would have shipped it for me to Pennsylvania, but I decided I would rather get it home myself. While we spent the day touring the island and having lunch, they went out of their way to package it safely. The artist is well known and it is Murano glass and from Oggetti, Italy. I paid $1,500.00 and the artist passed away shortly after, probably because he heard how much I paid for the piece, just kidding. I have it sitting in a downstairs window that catches a lot of light with my dozen and a half smaller paperweights surrounding it. Good glass paperweights are a real work of art to me because of the pain staking details they bring together to make gorgeous flowers and beautiful scenes. This shop does sell a lot of glass, some of it is cheap, so you do have to look. They have the coolest note cards decorated beautifully by local artists. They also have local artisans who hand craft jewelry and artists who paint beautiful scenes on glass goblets and flower vases. The shop is small but loaded with gems, you just have to take the time to look. Nantucket is like stepping back in time... Until you see the prices. Not wheelchair accessible.

When I had a painting that I no longer wanted, I entrusted her to sell it for me, no contracts signed, and only a spoken agreement. After some time, I inquired about the painting and was told it hadn't sold so I requested it back. I was then told she had no access to the painting so I requested the agreed payment. I was then met with the insistence that she had no money to pay me. I will spare you the details, but after much heated discussion, she eventually paid me, who knows what she did with the painting. I recently contacted the gallery owner about a painting from an artist that presumably she has, as the artist has not received her share of the sale. A month later and after 2 emails, I have not heard a word from her. I ask myself, Why? Sold the painting but doesn't want me to know so she doesn't have to pay the artist what she is owed? Doesn't want my business? By the way, the artist in question, whose multiple paintings I have bought from Kathleen, has pulled out of the gallery after 20+ years.

In fact, so bad was my experience it still bothers us more than a year later and I opted to Yelp about it. Prior to '24 I've bought sterling Nantucket basket bracelets for all my daughters and bride, without any incident at this store. Summer of '24: Milling about Town, we went into the Jewel in the Sea. Working the store counter was a young African American woman who was pre-occupied with her laptop. There was no one else in the store, just my bride and me. Walking through the store, I spy a knock-off, Swatch-esque, wristwatch. I collect wristwatches, so I asked her how much this one was. She proceeded to bark at me that she was busy and told me to wait. So much for that gracious Nantucket customer service; the poor little princess from Manhattan College. Now, I never talk down to people like she did to me, and there was really no reason for her to do so; it was a gesture of power and control. After waiting about eight minutes, I picked up the watch to read the price tag. She then started to yell at me, implying that I was trying to steal it. Please note, the wristwatch was not locked up or under glass. Maybe this store is great, maybe their merchandise is nice, and the prices are reasonable. However, the help they employed in '24, at least the day we visited, was downright exceptionally rude. I was even more surprised to read that Nantucket Today rated this store as 'the best' on the island! IMHO, Nantucket Today's judgement is lacking. Plenty of other jewelry stores on the island and in Town.
