They gave a discount since private event so that was a bonus and a deal. They were very nice and gave out a gift bag filled with a hand lotion as well as nail polish.

I had the absolute best experience working with AJ's Jewelry in Ridgewood, NY to create my dream…read morewedding ring set. From the very beginning, Gus and Jordan were incredibly open-minded and genuinely excited to bring my vision to life. This meant so much to me because I had sourced my own stones through a lapidary in the UK, and not every jeweler is willing to work with outside materials. They embraced the idea without hesitation and treated my stones with the utmost care and respect. What truly set them apart was their communication. I was kept informed every step of the way and Gus was always responsive & happy to answer my (many!) questions. I always felt confident and involved in the process which made all the difference as an out-of-state/long-distance customer. The design process itself was fun, which I didn't expect, and it felt like a true creative partnership rather than just a transaction. The final result is a wedding ring set that feels completely personal and one-of-a-kind. I'm so grateful to AJ's Jewelry for making the entire experience so enjoyable. If you're looking for a jeweler who is skilled, communicative and truly invested in bringing your vision to life, I can't recommend AJ's Jewelry enough. 10/10

I have never visited this store in person. I discovered it on Instagram when I fell through a…read morerabbit hole. The aesthetic of the shop and the product offering (great fifty items, a lot of local products, fun greeting cards, plants!) is what drew me to follow them. Having a "Visit Ridgewood Day" and and shop and Stay Forever was on my to-do list this spring, but now we're all grounded. I was so happy to see that the owners took a creative way to drum up some business during a very uncertain time but selling all types of care packages. I decided to buy a surprise box for my friend, and she loved it. It included a candle and a gorgeous spring green journal. I ended up buying three more boxes for my friends' children; I cannot wait to see the pics of their loot from Stay Forever. I will definitely be visiting this local women-owned business when things get better.

There's no denying they have a beautifully curated selection of items. it really is a lovely little…read moreshop to browse. However, I had a really frustrating experience recently regarding their return policy. A high-end item was placed in a bucket on the floor, where the price was not visible and the price sign of a neighboring item was visible instead of that particular item. Because the store was crowded, and they don't print receipts, I didn't catch the massive price jump at the register until after I paid. When I immediately went back inside to return the item and explain the misleading signage setup, I was told they only offer store credit or gift cards- No refunds. For an independent local boutique, a completely inflexible 'No refund' policy for an honest, immediate mistake leaves a really bad taste in your mouth. If you shop here, just be sure to double-check the price of absolutely everything at the register before you hand over your payment, because once they have your money, you are stuck with it. UPDATE: The owner publicly responded with a smooth, passive-aggressive spin claiming they are 'totally flexible' and that returns are always allowed. However, she then privately messaged me a completely different story, admitting: 'While we do have a no refund policy... we do issue refunds for same day returns.'So, my original review was entirely accurate. The owner lied publicly to save face while admitting the truth in my DMs. She also condescendingly noted that the 'great thing about shopping small' is that the owners are 'one short email away.' But who should have to track down an owner's email inbox just to get basic, standard customer service? A customer shouldn't have to do extra labor to bypass an untrained staff member.The owner privately admitted she left two completely brand-new employees working totally solo during a hectic weekend shift. Leaving untrained staff alone to run a busy store isn't 'flexibility'--it's a massive management failure that directly results in misleading pricing and stressed-out customers and employees. While she privately apologized, the fact remains that their system is broken. It is not convenient for me to travel back to Ridgewood to fix a store error. I am keeping the item, but the review stays up as a historical record of terrible management.

I came back to retrieve my necklace and I am told it has totally vanished. I cannot locate my ticket so Ruby Palace claims they cannot find my phone number in the system. How convenient...so watch out people hold onto your tickets for dear life because you will lose your precious jewelry at this place. They need to find a better system.

He measured my wrist and confirmed that only one link need to be removed. After picking up my bracelet a few days later, it is STILL too loose. When I pointed that out, he wanted me to pay another $35 to have one more link removed. He was the one that said one link is good enough. He made it sound like it was my fault. Heck if I knew, I would have become a jeweler myself. So basically, even if they screw up, they expect you to pay to have it redone. I'd stay away from this place and head a few blocks down to the the new jewelry shop that just opened up across from CVS. They're so much nicer and their service is "we'll make sure it fits nicely before you leave."

I love the Ridgewood Market!…read more This Sunday was the first time that I attended. It actually took place on Summerfield Street, which is right near my house (so I had no excuse not to attend!). So my local artisans and businesses were represented here! Not only establishments from Ridgewood (Norma's, Rudy's) but there are tons of other cool vendors from all over NYC represented here! MartiniHandmades (from whom I got an awesome terrarium and bracelet), an awesome empanada table, someone serving shrimp and grits! So many local artists, jewelry makers and thrift stores! I know that this market is awesome, because even my boyfriend, who usually does not enjoy these types of things, found several vendors, items and foods that he loved! Score! Everyone was friendly and some vendors even took credit cards! What a great way to get to meet people from your neighborhood and support local artisans! I can't wait to do all of my holiday shopping at Ridgewood Market!

I guess I'll review this since it is on here, but it is really a recurrent event rather than a…read more"place". It actually is a monthly event held at Gottscheer Hall; I stopped by the initial one in April. It is categorized on Yelp as a "flea market" at moment, but that is really a misnomer; while there were a few booths selling used goods it is predominantly an indoor arts & crafts fair, with some booths selling food products to boot. This might be a good place to check if you were buying gifts; the majority of the goods are likely more appealing to women than men from my judgement. One aspect I do appreciate is that the vendor pool seems to display a relatively diverse range of ages, ethnicities, and tastes and the same goes for the crowd perhaps due to advertising that is also locally-focused; it doesn't feel so much like some of the similar craft markets held in other boroughs, but has a less-pretentious, very neighborhoodly Queens vibe. It seems to, consciously or not, embody Ridgewood quite well rather than attempting to replicate an outside aesthetic in this old neighborhood. Hopefully it becomes even more diverse and representative of the neighborhood as the event evolves. The best part is seeing so many people at Gottscheer Hall for a public event during daytime hours, as well as being able to get eggs and other brunchtime foods they don't normally serve.
