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.

When on the island, my bride and I, during 'the season' always stop in; seasonal store. Very friendly staff, and a wonderful and exceptionally knowledgeable owner, Edward, who jets between the island and Miami. He hustles, works hard, and has the time to talk with you. Prices there are very good. Lots of Submariners and GMTs, and many other high end watches too (e.g., Patek Philippe, etc.), but Rollies are my passion. Cash or credit. I highly recommend a visit when in island! Nice clothing selection too!

I called and emailed the shop and they got back to me right away saying I could send the dress back and receive a credit to the online shop.

A combination of old wood, dog, a recent fire and lots of leather. Perhaps an unusual and unexpected olfactory juxtaposition but a surprising pleasant one. Almost intoxicating. The sign outside has a picture of a leather punch on it and leaves no doubts or ambiguity about the main purpose of this store. Lots of leather items and tools scattered around and the people here deal with leather with confidence and skill. They can whip you up a belt, jacket or just about anything else in leather with ridiculous ease, skill and speed. Besides the leather goods the store also has a menagerie of other fascinating things. Exquisite glass pieces and unique and distinctive Xmas ornaments or beautiful lamps grace the ceiling and walls. Clocks, time pieces, strange dolls and even some scrimshaw add to the evocative and visual stimulation. A great place to visit on a cold Nantucket day. Nice warm fire, friendly and knowledge people and an even a happy dog to great you. A unique and anachronistic shop that will excite all of your senses and imagination. Places like this are unfortunately quickly becoming distant memories. A place to pet a friendly dog warm your butt by a fire or see some incredible crafts.

Let me start off by saying, the worst customer service. From the moment I walked in with my family,…read morewe were given a look of "being a bother". The owner did not greet us and when my family member mentioned that her bracelet she purchased from him needed repair, he just took it without asking what's wrong, giving a timeframe of how long it would take to fix it etc. . Now keep in mind WE purchased from him last summer. In addition, he spoke to ALL other patrons (coming and going) except us. Literally the kids, parents yet, he did not speak to my mother and I but kept looking at us. He was extremely rude and it was not okay. When asked about his accountability, he said, "I was busy"... however you were not too busy and VERY excited to help me last year when I purchased from you. In addition there was music playing by Marvin Gaye and in his irritation (clearly with us), he turned the music saying "it's driving me crazy" and turned it to "another artist". I've been coming to Martha's Vineyard for years actually decades and this level of treatment is unacceptable. I'm disappointed in the beyond lack of customer service he gave MY mother. I will never shop in there again nor will I make a recommendation to anyone to shop there.

I went into the store in Oak Bluffs casually looking for jewelry and I walked out with an amazing…read moresterling silver bracelet. The man at the counter (the owner) was friendly but not overbearing, and every piece of jewelry in the cases were 50% off. Even if this were a gimmicky way of making you feel like you're getting a great deal, I still felt like it was a bargain. I fell in love with a bracelet but didn't want to commit on impulse, so I asked when they closed to see if I could come back. It was almost 6 and he told me they technically "close" at 6, but that he had some merchandising to do and would probably keep the shop open a bit late. He also gave me his cell phone number and said I could call and if I was interested in anything and he could ship it to me. One of the bracelets that I tried on was uncomfortable and he told me that he is also a silversmith and would be happy to fix it for me, free of charge, if I wanted the bracelet. I am sure he was just trying to make a sale, but the fact that he went out of his way to make sure I could get what I wanted really made an impression on me! I ended up going back to purchase the bracelet later that evening and the shop was still open. He stayed late to make sure the bracelet was fully polished before I walked out the door with it. Overall, I think Slight Indulgence is a great place to shop on the Vineyard, just from my experience buying jewelry alone. I didn't even get a chance to really look at their clothes and other accessories, but upon walking in I saw a billion things that I loved. Next time I'm in the Vineyard, I'll be back!

This store is what my dad would call a "clip joint!" It has a nice window display, and when you go…read moreinside, the owners are super-friendly, asking you all sorts of (semi-intrusive) person questions about where you're from, where you're staying, how long, what you do for a living, etc. They're masters of The Shmooze, trying to relax you into thinking they're your friends. This could be seen as a lovely quality, but when it comes down to it, their goods are horribly over-priced! And even worse? The pricing isn't exactly straight-forward. Allow me to explain: Every summer, I walk into this store to see if anything has changed. And every year I'm greeted by the same "50% Off Jewelry!" sale signs prominently littering the very long jewelry display case that runs the entire length of the store. But if you look closer, in small letters, they've written that this sale only pertains to "select items"...and then when it gets down to it, it never seems to be the item that I ask to see! The prices are really high for sterling silver jewelry, by my experience, over twice what comparable items are priced at at similar stores in other towns on the Island...so it would make sense for the 50%-off sale gimick, if the items really are marked down... But I have yet to find any item there that the owner told me was on sale. I'm sure there ARE some, but it must be a very small selection that could easily be consolidated to one part of the sprawling display case without all the excessive, misleading red-inked sale signs all over the place! I'm not going to go as far as saying it's a bait-and-switch, but it also doesn't feel on the up-and-up. I haven't bought anything here as a result. They also have an abbreviated selection of women's beach-worthy clothing and shoes...maybe people will have better luck with these items? But they are also rather pricey for what they are made of and how they are made. This is a typical tourist trap store. But, I guess, if you have a lot of disposable income and prices don't matter that much to you, you may have a different impression of this place?
