They're still operating under the same name, but they are nothing like it's always been. One of the new owners said they would no longer offer their lifetime warranty. The woman was so ugly because they had to replace a clasp on a chain I had bought there. She said the chain wasn't purchased there and was gonna charge me over $160 to replace the clasp and clean it. When I went to pick it up, I showed her the receipt where I had purchased the chain there. She was not happy. She said they were not going to keep paying for these things.After 30+ years, I walked out for the last time. Such a shame.

Truly DISGUSTED with the fact that I chose to give them my business. We purchased a ring guard from…read morethem and had it resized and were essentially guaranteed that everything would fit and be perfect. Not only does in not fit but properly but the back of the guard doesn't even touch her finger because the opening will not let the ring sit properly. To make things even better my Fiancée was told to take it home and wear it and it would "feel better after a few days" Look at the photo and tell me why they let her walk out of the store like this after she tried it on and voiced her concern!! Crap customer service and THEY HAVE A NO RETURN POLICY!! Even if you buy it from them and THEY do the alteration they still will not do a return!! BEWARE !! Essentially stuck with a band that I have no use for $2,500 DOWN THE DRAIN !!

I'm not sure why this is called Margo Sterling Silver; sterling silver appears to be just a…read moreminuscule part of the business in the store. Overall, based on what I saw in the store, this is a metaphysical business. I saw great looking handmade jewelry, knick knacks for the home, incense, tantra-related items, stones and other merchandise. A couple of the things that caught my eye because I have an interest in them are the crystals and sage. Margo has a big selection of stones and crystals. People burn sage (in a ritual called smudging) to clear away negativity. I've smudged my place a few times with a bundle of burning white sage, and I know it helped because I felt a calmness and contentment after I got done. Margo sells various types of sage that customers can smudge their spaces and their selves to eliminate negativity and increase positivity. I have also interest in crystals, of which Margo has a big selection. The two types of crystals that I have are black obsidian and clear quartz crystals, both of which have protective properties. One of clear quartz's benefits is enhancing mental clarity. It can help with emotional stability, and it's popular in meditation and restorative work. It's also often used for manifestation and can help create more focus and clarity around a desire. It is a protective stone and can be used to amplify psychic abilities. I have white quartz crystals near my front door to dispel any negative energies entering my home, and on my nightstand to amplify the effect of the black obsidian crystal that I keep near it. One of the most popular uses of black obsidian is to create a shield of protection to ward off negative or harmful energies. I wear a black obsidian bracelet to help absorb negativity that I may encounter. I also have black obsidian crystals in the four corners of my condo to help ward off negative and harmful energies. Does it work? I know they do. I like that throughout the store are handwritten descriptions and explanations either on or near the crystals. These are great for customers who are interested in incorporating crystals into their lives. However, customers who buy them should also learn how to use the crystals (the best placement for them, how to energize them, how to cleanse them, etc.) after they're purchased to learn how to put them to best use for themselves. One thing that I'd like to point out when I was in the store was that there were way too many strong scents concentrated in one specific area on the left side of the store. I took a couple of regular breaths in and the scents hit me hard. Think of the strong and multiple scents affecting your nose as being similar to strong and multiple noises affecting your ears. When I smelled the odors together I got dizzy, realized that scents were affecting me and immediately walked to the other side of the store. I was fine after breathing in non-scented air. I didn't get a good look at the object(s) that caused my dizziness. It would've been good to know so that I could avoid a similar situation in the future.

I took it back to Thornton's Jewelry Store and was greeted by the manager of the store. She was very nasty and asked did my daughter wear it everyday. It said yes, and I wear my rings everyday too. The ring originally had three peridot stones, and now the biggest and center stone is missing, plus the ring is 14 carat. I asked her the cost to put the stone back in and she told me from $125 to $150. After dealing with her nasty attitude, I decided to not have it repaired there. I later purchased another birthstone ring from another company with a repair warranty.
