I have a couple of favorite necklaces, including one designed and crafted by Phil, that I wear regularly and that get lots of compliments. We recently asked Phil to appraise some jewelry that had been in our family for years, and appreciated his informed assessment, astute comments, and detailed documentation. His shop has original pieces and some lovely estate jewelry ... well worth a stop when you're in Essex.

I went to the beach down the street, walked on the boardwalk, then was headed to dinner across the…read morestreet when I decided to quickly stop here. Yelp has definitely made me more aware of my local businesses, so I wanted to stop in and see what this place was all about. I went in thinking I'd just window shop and laugh at how expensive everything was, but that wasn't the case at all! Yes, there was more expensive jewelry in some cases, some watches, but there was also plenty of affordable jewelry available as well. The store looked immaculate! It was bright, clean, nothing looked out of place and it even had that new store scent. I ended up buying a pair of silver earrings (for under $30) that were made by a local artist. Now I've shopped at these types of stores in the past (think Cape Cod, the Berkshires, North Hampton...) and this one definitely had the most reasonable prices. My mom actually picked up three bracelets in the Berkshires, and they had the same ones here for $12 less, each! She wasn't happy to feel she got ripped off on her last vacation up there. I was really just looking around and wasn't even going to ask for any prices in cases, because all the tags were flipped over so I figured things would be outrageous, but I'm very glad I asked for the price of the one pair of earrings I ended up buying. I've worn them several times and love them. I'll definitely drop in again when I'm in the area.

Keira has been amazing to work with buying my fiancées engagement ring. I went in with a picture…read morein my mind of a ring and with no exceptions, it's exactly what I wanted for my amazing bride. Keira brought in a selection of diamonds for me to choose from once we found the setting, not to mention she took the time to educate me on why and what to look for in a diamond. I ended up with value and quality and a ring that I can be very very proud to have given and from a local shop. Tip for the guys; don't go buy a mall ring, your girl will love knowing you cared more and went to a local shop, Keira will make sure you get the best you can.

Incredible stuff - seriously. With my comfort level at an all time high, I found a number of pieces that I was captivated by. The mystic collection is definitely where I categorize myself. It's very sleek, timeless, and classy. So, I asked to see a few pieces (because I wanted to try EVERYTHING on - but I paced myself), and found out that the sterling silver comes from Peru. The details are stunning. The types of stone that some of the jewelry incorporates was foreign to me - think Amazonite, Serpentine, etc. - which added an additional element to the uniqueness of Achiq. I absolutely adore this little shop and all of the jewelry I went home with. Thanks again everyone at Achiq!
