Between my parents and myself, we've been coming to Gem World for years to get jewelry fixed or buy…read morenew jewelry. Came in here yesterday with my mom. She needed to get two of her rings fixed since one of the prongs was bent on one and the other one had a stone that fell out and it needed to be replaced. She also brought in some of my Grandma's old jewelry that my mom wanted to make into a set of ear rings and a new ring. The guy that works here is amazing. He's honest, fast, doesn't over price you and will accommodate you in anyway he can. He also buys old jewelry off you if he feels he can use it somehow in the future. My mom was able to fix both of her rings. And the nice guy that works here is going to make her a new set of ear rings and a new ring from the old jewelry for only $140 total (he did buy her old ring bands and some extra stones too, or the total would have been more). I would highly recommend this place for all your jewelry needs!

Went to the Harvest Festival one year (located at the Cashman Field venue) and came across Linda,…read moregemologist's booth. She & her staff were all very nice, did not pressure me or rush me, either (there were other customers checking out their stock). I was able to look at all the pieces (there were so many Larimar beauties) until I decided which one was for me (if I am really interested in something, I tend to see what all my options are). I selected a single Larimar gemstone (teardrop shape) ring set in sterling silver. I paid $32.43 for it, a real bargain; I wanted to go back again to check out her booth, but didn't make it. Larimar is so beautiful (shades of blue and green). If you check out amazon.com, the pieces vary in price, but you might not get such a generous stone, though. And furthermore, your purchase of larimar helps support the local communities in the Dominican Republic- Linda buys directly from these miners (only place this gemstone comes from). I also checked out her website www.rindarocks.net for more of her offerings. Lots of beautiful items, pendants, rings, earrings, etc., might make another purchase that way. I could add another gorgeous piece to my collection.

This review is linked to the website but is actually about the Natural…read more Creations road show at Sam's Clubs. They say that no two stones are alike. Like snowflakes, each is different and unique. That's what makes natural stone jewelry so great. I can get a diamond ring from Kay Jewelers and it will probably look exactly the same as 10,000 others out there, but when I get a natural stone pendant, ring, or necklace, I know there will not be another one out there that is the same. Mine is the only one. Natural Creations has the biggest selection of natural stone and opal jewelry that I have ever seen. With more variety of stones and variety of styles within each stone type, it took me literally hours to browse even a small sampling of the work. Predominantly wire wrapped pendants, standard pendants, rings, bracelets and necklaces, the selection is endless. That, and the prices are WAY below what I would pay anywhere else. Linda and Don, the two proprietors, claim to make and wire wrap all of their own jewelry and they stand behind their products. From $15 agate pendants to $10,000 carved opals, and everything in between, there are stones for all levels and tastes. They are very knowledgeable about their product (having mined a good portion of it themselves), and do a great job of informing you about exactly what you are getting. While they can be hard to find (the nomadic nature of road shows makes it so), they can always be located via their website or with a quick call to the business number. This is the kind of thing that, while it could be bought online, it's much better purchased in person. "You don't choose the stones, the stones choose you" is what they told me, and I really think it's true. There's nothing like holding the gem in your hand. Once the right stone lands in the palm of your hand, you know it. So track these guys down at your local Sam's Club. They're bound to show up there some time soon. And when you do, make sure you leave some time to browse!!

This week I took my 13 yr old grandson, who is very interested in rock hounding and loves gems and…read moremineral collections, to Burton's. My grandson got to meet John and his family. We spent 3 hours with John, his daughter Carrie and the staff. What an amazing visit. They were so nice! knowledgeable, and kind. They gave Sawyer a complete tour of the shop and shared the wonderful history and stories of many of their products: Gems, minerals, rocks, stones, meteorites, hand made Jewelry and much more. The Knowledge the folks at Burton' Gems shared was "beyond Epic" "very cool" according to my grandson. John is a living legend in the industry. They were so kind to give their time to Sawyer. We had visited The LA Zoo, Disneyland/California Adventure, and Magic Mountain this week. Sawyer was so impressed and in awe. We had a great time but I had such joy in seeing a 13 yr old young man being so excited for 3 hour, this was The most "Epic time he ever had". I loved the day as well. So cool to hear John's history and visit a truly amazing shop. To be treated so kindly. Just a wonderful day. If you are a geologist, love gems, jewelry, rocks and minerals. This is THE place to visit. as Sawyer said many times: "Epic" !!!!

What does it mean to be a hidden gem? It's an expression that we all use flippantly as we go about…read moreour busy lives that are increasingly commercialized and standardized. Every so often, you stumble across something so unexpected that it leaves a mark on your day. This gem shop was exactly that. My daughter likes gems and I was looking to surprise her with a unique outing so I yelped a gem shop and stumbled across this one. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly and regaled with stories of everything in the shop. It felt like a museum that was for sale. They had everything from the affordable $1 "babysitter" bin of rocks to keep the kiddos entertained, to the essentially priceless (and everything in between). The highlight for me was the vintage jewelry pieces. They were so unique and stunning in a way that modern jewelry stores simply cannot compare. If you're looking for a nice piece of jewelry to surprise someone, they can definitely help. The owners were happy to discuss details of every stone and encouraged questions from my daughter like she was on a class field trip. They delighted in letting her hold and touch things that were clearly out of her price range. My husband enjoyed the fossilized dinosaur poop, because... poop. They also carve their own stones, and do repair work! If you have been meaning to stop in here, then I encourage you to do so as soon as you can. If they don't have it, I'm betting they can get it. We delighted in the stories and the gems, and cannot wait to return to hang out with these lovely folks.

Me: Obviously, surprised I said, I am not asking you for any cheap stuff. Owner: I have seen all south Indians asking for cheap stuff. They buy only cheap stuff. Me: (I myself being a south Indian) I don't think south Indians are into cheap stuff. How could you even talk about that? You should have a board that says this place is not for south Indians. Owner:(Still arguing) you please sit here with me for an hour and you can see south Indians asking for cheap stuff. me: I am leaving as I am a south Indian and I won't buy at your store. I have no idea whats up with this this poor chap. Probably, he is frustrated that no one is purchasing stuff from his store. Rather than judging south Indian or north Indians or even any one for that matter, please concentrate on improving your business there by balancing your hormones.

Genuinely INSANE that this is a legit geode, fossils, and minerals shop. Usually when you hear "gem…read moreadjacent" vernacular and you mix it in with a theme park, most people are thinking about the slop that kids shove into those velvet bags and each bag is a set price. So imagine my surprise to see the specimens they have on display and the legit fossils too. This includes fossilized leaves, fish, prehistoric creatures, and some really cool dinosaur eggs that are insured for millions behind a safe. Some of this stuff you'd be hard pressed to even see at some actual museums! There's also a cool fireplace with staff shout outs (at least for the Xmas stockings), celebrity photos and autographs, as well as the opportunity for you to choose a geode to be cut too. Some things are super cheap being around $5 and other things can be hundreds, if not thousands if you're an avid geological collector. Staff are super friendly and informative. And will show you and allow you to handle SOME of the stuff behind the display cases too. Definitely worth a visit!
