I am driving from PA to FL after visiting family and I'm spending the night in Asheville. I stopped…read morein Finkelstein's as I walked down Broadway. I am solely interested in estate and signed jewelry. They had a lot of basic colored gemstone rings. They had some Tiffany & Co. pieces, but no other signed pieces. There was a shifty young man who came in and out of the store and I wasn't sure if he worked there or ?! With all the homeless people on the streets (which I don't remember from my last visit about seven years ago), I wasn't comfortable wearing $40K in Cartier jewelry. So, I left and I won't be back...to Finkelstein's or Asheville. It's best to visit Biltmore; stay at their Hotel, Village, or Cottage; and leave Asheville.

Carolina Pawn & Gun's easily accessible, well lite and clean. The clerks were amiable, attentive and knowledgeable about products. I concentrated on jewelry as I am a collector of estate, rare and odd finds. They offered a variety of stones ranging from color changing Alexandrite to sparkling Zircon set in 10-18k white and yellow gold and sterling silver. And, despite spectacular pricing, they offered me additional discounts. I recommend visitors stop in for their own looksee. You'll most likely find their southern hospitality and extensive offerings too enticing to leave without a memento.

Despite always wearing gloves,I lost the diamond out of my engagement ring during Helene cleanup…read moreand was heartbroken! even though I took my ring twice a year to Zales jewelers for cleaning and inspection, ( except when they were closed during Covid and Helene), Zales refused to honor the purchase guarantee and were going to charge my husband $2500 just for the diamond alone and estimated $600 to set the stone!! On a whim I was at Denny's looking at jewelry when the staff told me they could find a diamond and set it for me. Although it took a couple of months, Tammy found me the perfect diamond, had it set in a little over a week, and the final cost was almost 1/4 of the Zales' estimate! I am so grateful to Tammy and the staff at Denny's me my beautiful engagement ring back.
