I love all things arts and crafts. And someone at The Etc. Shop seems to too. There's all kinds of…read moreFrank Lloyd Wright and Charles Renne Macintosh inspired jewelry and accessories. Of course there are other things too -- that's where the Etc. comes in -- but it's always the art deco stuff that attracts my attention. The posh Brighton collection is apparently The Etc. Shop claim to fame. The coordinated accessories, which include shoes, jewelry, watches, sunglasses, belts and more, are very nice, but they're not any more attractive than the other accessories throughout the store and a bit pricey for my taste. If I splurge here, I'll take the ultra cool Macintosh-inspired lamps over the pricey-but-average Brighton items any day.

ANOTHER Brighton shop! How many does Kansas need?…read more This one sells Brighton, Italian charms, and Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home furnishings (lamps, furniture, pottery). Because of this, it is a bit more interesting than just the boring Brighton collection (which is their main focus, carrying the whole line). A bit expensive, but then again charms do come from Italy, and the jewelry is high quality being hand made sterling silver. The home decor is quite nice, being an art deco (FLW influence) style. But the Brighton does overpower, making me gag a little on all the coordinated, shiny, accessories. If I were re-decorating, this is the place to come to give my place some stylish touches, but otherwise...might just have to pass by next time I'm in Lawrence...

We have sold a few things to this pawn shop, but not again after today…read more My fiance went in here to sell a Cry Baby guitar pedal and a 14k gold pendant. They had to test my necklace to ensure the gold is real. However, he only tested the chain the pendant was attached to (which was a fake gold chain I had grabbed quickly out of my jewelry box to attach to it so we wouldn't lose it). They refused the sale saying the entire necklace saying it was all fake gold. So now, I have a ruined chain with a black spot on the center of it because he didn't test the chain in a hidden area like a clasp, and they weren't supposed to test the chain period because I WAS NOT SELLING THE CHAIN. Then was super rude saying the entire thing was fake and didn't give my fiance a chance to tell him that we weren't selling the chain, and that we knew it was fake. I called to ask why and he said they don't accept pendants without the chain. That's fine, But you need to tell people that BEFORE you RUIN the jewelry they aren't even trying to sell you. THIS PENDANT IS 14K GOLD AND I SOLD IT TO THE NEXT PAWN SHOP FOE $50 DOLLARS BECAUSE THEY TESTED THE APPROPRIATE ITEM! After accusing us of trying to sell a fake necklace, they undercut the price on the Cry Baby even though they were just saying how they sold 3 of them this week. We turned down their low-ball offer because they were so rude and ruined my necklace chain. Do not go here to buy or sell. They low-ball you and then sell your item like it is new.

Very nasty attitudes from the people working here. I went in to look at some pistols and they acted…read morelike I was bothering them. Three clerks behind the counter talking to each other and way too into their conversation to answer any of my questions. I always figure that everyone is allowed a bad day so I went back a week later and was treated even worse. I had $2,800 in my pocket but they didn't get a dime. One at a time, I asked to look at two different shotguns and two different pistols. When I asked to see the second pistol the clerk very rudely said, "Are you just here to look or to buy?!" I had only spent 5 minutes of the clerks time and they were not busy at the time. Sorry but I always look at something before I spend hundreds of dollars on it.

Stopped in to have a diamond ring resized. They pointed out to us that what we thought was a real…read morediamond was in fact a lab growing diamond, and that we had been seriously swindled by another store who represented it as a real diamond. We are able to get it appraised by another independent jeweler and take it back and force them to refund our money. We then bought the real diamond from House Of Diamonds. They brought in multiple stones for us to compare. We were able to choose the one that best suited us and they did a beautiful job with the mount and Service. This is the only place I would go to buy jewelry.
