The staff, especially Ashley, were friendly, professional, and responsive, even following up on an item that was promised after my visit. That said, my advice to future shoppers is simple: research before you buy. Chanel costume jewelry carries a premium because of the brand, but it is still costume jewelry and often does not contain precious stones or metals. I learned too late that some of the pieces I purchased were priced at more than double their market value. To be fair, I take responsibility for not taking a moment to compare prices online before making my purchase. The sales experience was persuasive, and I was led to believe I was receiving a significant discount. In hindsight, a quick search on my phone would have provided valuable perspective. This is not a reason to avoid shopping at Vintage 329. The merchandise is unique, stylish, and fun, and the staff were genuinely pleasant to work with. However, buyer beware: take a few minutes to research the item, understand its current market value, and make an informed purchasing decision. Doing so can help you avoid overpaying and ensure you feel confident about your purchase.

Maggie immediately noted our presence & was not welcoming at all, however, she did show us the rings very quickly. I believe the only reason she was so receptive to us was because she believed that we had money. She insisted on showing us many pieces that were purposely out of our budget, (we told her our budget) and when we tried to pick rings that were more in our budget, she scoffed and acted as if they were not as good and insulted my choices for many various reasons, I couldn't even remember. It was like she didn't want to show me anything unless it was $5,000+. We're 25 years old, lady. Who do you think we are, rockefellers? I really thought she would warm up + act more human if I complimented her jewelry. I mean, it was beautiful! I noted that of course she would have such beautiful jewelry, considering her job has great opportunities to collect such pieces. She rolled her eyes and said "well duh" She even rudely commented on my fingers, chiding me for the shape of them at the knuckle. She tried to argue with me about my ring size, even though I already knew it & told her so. every time I was putting the sizer on she claimed "I didn't see it, do it again"... multiple times. it was a very weird experience and I'm not quite sure how she still works here. definitely never returning and will not be recommending, if anything will be recommending people to avoid this place! only giving it two stars because the layout inside is absolutely lovely.

I preceded to look around and asked to try on a ring with a pink stone, to which she remarked that it actually was probably a pink sapphire. I politely thanked her, and proceeded to browse the rest of the rings when I noticed she and her coworker were pointing at us and laughing. What a horrendous way to treat potential customers. I highly recommend Valobra Jewelry next door instead.

What a pleasure. He's professional, attentive and very informative as to the art and its artist. You're thinking of course he is when you're about to make a purchase, right? Well, my purchase was over the phone when I returned home. For me this says a lot, because he trusted I am a sincere buyer in placing a nice monetary hold on piece. Not many art galleries allow this. Nor do they without a credit check. We feel we made a nice professional relationship with Tommy and Sutton Galleries. We are definitely keeping abreast of up and coming European artists. Sutton Galleries is highly recommended. Enter and let your eyes, heart and mind wander; and, then make your decision. I made mine looking through the window and was intrigued by more.
