I was looking to get my engagement ring appraised for a new insurance policy and didn't know where to find an appraiser. The NAJA website allows you to search appraisers by state and city and was impressed with Jewelry Appraisal Pros. Marla did an excellent job on my engagement ring, she also noticed I had some antique pieces that I was wearing. I brought back some jewelry that I inherited from my grandmother for another appraisal. I would recommend them for Jewelry Appraisals and any jewelry consultation because they really enjoy what they do. read more

They use an ear-piercing gun and have a decent variety of studs to choose from. The stud metals include 14-karat white and yellow gold, surgical steel, and titanium. The procedure itself was very quick and, according to my child, was completely painless. The price for the piercing and earrings (a set) together was $125. No appointment was required, which made it very easy. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a local ear-piercing spot and you don't want to go to a tattoo shop or an adult piercing place that would likely charge you a lot more. I thought the price was very reasonable for services provided.

I phoned Tuesday and was quoted $55, ready Wednesday afternoon. I agreed to $55. That evening Mr. Robere called me himself to confirm pickup for Wednesday at noon or later, and said nothing about the price. I arrived Wednesday at 1 and was told $75. When I said I'd been quoted $55, I was told the quote was actually $65, but they'd honor $65 as a courtesy. The associate called the owner, who appeared to agree with me before the call dropped, and the price stayed at $65. I was then told I was already getting $10 off. The battery works. That isn't what I'm reviewing. A shop that gives a price over the phone, has the owner call to confirm the appointment, and then revises the number at the counter is asking the customer to eat its own recordkeeping. Ten dollars is trivial. Being told what I agreed to isn't. I came in hoping to find a jeweler I'd use for years and I won't be back. If you go, be sure to get the quote in writing. Update: The owner reached out the same day. He apologized, stood up for his employee, and asked to make it right. I asked for the service ticket, since I'd left with only a charge receipt. Within a few hours he emailed the documentation and re-rang the sale at $55, the price I was originally quoted. The experience at the counter was still a customer service miss, but I respect and appreciate how the follow-up was handled.
