Saying I was happy with the option to use a clasp as opposed to a weld shows the lack of awareness. I was not thrilled but had promised my 8 year old and drove 30 min for the appointment so felt stuck. Very quickly after I initially contacted you with concerns, my daughter's bracelet fell off and was unfortunately lost. You offered to re-weld mine but about a week later prior to being able to even consider making arrangements to come back for a re-weld mine also fell off and I've been unable to locate it. The reason for this review now is because Yelp suggested your establishment, and yes I would still be bothered when I spent $100 on now missing jewelry shortly after purchase. I've since had a new one placed on myself without ANY issues. It's welded very strongly. And I got my daughter a bracelet with a clasp that is age appropriate and it's remained on through school, sports and normal 8 year old activities without issue. Sorry to upset you with factual details of your products and services. Your clasp was obviously subpar as was your welding skills. Why would I come back to have you weld it again when your welding abilities didn't last even a month? I suggest kindly touching grass. Original review: Got a "permanent" bracelet that fell off within the month. Should have just ordered a bracelet elsewhere. They clearly don't know how to weld correctly. Their customer service needs work as well.

Which is why it is difficult to write this. Skagit coin from the inside looks to be 75% jewelry and gems and 25% coin. I arrived there interested in coins I had over a decade of experience with. My specialty is not grading coins specifically, but finding coins which show signs of artificial toning, cleaning or being tampered with. During my first visit I had noticed something that was off; there was a large percentage of raw coins being sold at Mint State prices while still showing clear signs of being cleaned/tampered with. I pointed out a single one to the owner. She was nice about it and removed it from the case. However then I noticed it another and another. My grading abilities were questioned, kindly. I pointed out the areas and it seemed that was that. I decided that day to stick mainly with toned coins. However what struck me as off was that all the toners I had purchased contained the same type of toning. For those of you new to this hobby - identical toning is not normal. On top of that the color spectrum was not normal either. There ARE loads of times where I will see legit tones for the first time so I figured this could be a circumstance such as that. On top of that the owner insisted her son had loads of experience grading raw coins and was near professional doing so. So I made the biggest mistake I could at the time, trusted her and paid. I submitted the toners to be slabbed and relatively soon after, maybe a few weeks later, received word that I had wasted $25 on each of them and that they were artificial toning. I was right. The coins were wrong. Skagit Coin and the owner there was very understanding and was willing to offer me store credit or refund for what I paid for the coins once I surrendered the artificial toning/cleaned slabs. They did follow through with that as well. I decided to exchange them for mint state instead. However this is where the plot unfortunately thickens even more. A mint state coin I had taken home was clearly tampered with. To the point where you only needed a good light to see it with an unaided eye. I returned once again for the owner to once again be understanding and offer a store credit, this time saying something along the lines of 'lets not make this a routine.' When the owner inspected the coin that had obvious signs of cleaning she went on to remind me that her son was very good at grading and even close to professional. This made me feel as though I was being accused of taking the coin home and cleaning it myself! Wasn't the case. Have never done so in my life. Knowing there were many others in her case marked as MS that were cleaned as well - I offered to point them out to her one by one. I am talking coins with obvious marks. Some you don't need a lens for. Her response was: "No. Just cover your credit. Don't point them out for me." I was quite surprised. However I did what I was told. Found a non-cleaned coin as fast as I could and realized I probably would not be returning. These are nice people. Understanding people to a point. However in the world of coins - you're either selling actual MS coins with honest intentions or you're not. I really wish that I could have better things to say. After losing this place, I now have to travel well over an hour for a good LCS. Especially after this place takes the obvious L.

That was almost 30 years ago, and I still think about how good they were to me. They treated me like family. Really, like their own son. Their love for Jesus showed in the way they lived, the way they treated people, and the way they cared about every customer who walked through the door. If you want to see what that kind of faith looks like in real life, just spend time with Lynn and Barb. They even let me take their Mercedes to prom. That's the kind of people they were. And honestly, after all these years and all the bosses and supervisors I've had since then, nobody has ever come close. Not even close. They may not have the storefront anymore, but Strauss Jewelers will always be open. Treating everyone like family.

Fast forward to today, and I'm a frequent visitor of this location. I've gotten used to the layout, and that's made shopping a lot easier. What I've most come to love, though, are the genuinely friendly employees. From the deli, where one of the worker's always knows exactly which salad I'm there to get and exactly how much I want, to one of the cashiers who knows me by name, to the friendly pharmacy staff...I always get a small town vibe here. And I love it! Of course, as with most of the world these days, their prices have been inching up, and that makes me more aware of what's on sale. I love their "buy 5" specials which, if you didn't know, you don't have to buy 5 of the same item to get the deal! Their app also has some good coupons, though it can be spotty to use it in the store (recommend signing on to their in-store wi-fi). Thanks, Freddy's, for making my grocery life a little easier!
