She truly wanted us to find the piece that suited us, no matter how long it took! Casey greeted us with a smile and enthusiasm every time she saw us, remembered our names from the very first day, and sent us thank you notes after we bought jewelery from her. I could not be happier with my engagement ring. One of the things we liked the most about Howes was that they contract with all the jewelry designers in the area and have them agree that once they design a piece, they only sell one and that is sold to Howes. So, essentially, you are getting a one of a kind piece! This was very important to me, as I didn't want a "cookie cutter" ring.

Just a word of caution if you go to Designing Jewelers to sell your jewelry. I recently went there…read moreto see if they were interested in purchasing a gents gold and 1.15 carat diamond ring. I showed him the original receipt from 1988 as well as the recent appraisal. He walked away to look at the ring and came back and told me it was a lab created diamond so would offer me a few hundred for the gold. I declined this offer and went back to the jeweler that did the appraisal and he stood by his appraisal that it was a genuine diamond and took it on consignment for thousands of $$ not a couple hundred $$. Good thing I didn't fall for the scam. Just want to make people aware that you might want to be leary about selling used jewelry at this store.

You haven't given me a gift, you've given me an obligation." (Sheldon Cooper, Big Bang Theory) We all know that feeling...the one where you wake up with palpitations, realizing you forgot to order a gift for a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or other special occasion. But no need to make it an emergency...Heart's Desire to the rescue! Sales associates happily assist in finding something within one's budget that won't induce cardiac arrest, but that will hopefully make the recipient's heart grow fonder. From traditional gifts like candles, jewelry, inspirational box signs, and kitchen accessories; to boutique clothing and unique chips and dips for the party animal, this charming shop has Winona area residents covered to help win over that special friend...or get you out of the dog house. You know your heart is in the right place when you give the gift of... Fancy garden gloves! They'll make your bosom buddy bloom into a blossom buddy. #buffyandhildy Wubba Nub nookies for a lil' cub...when you want to give the gift of peace and quiet to new parents (or musical gifts if you delight in torturing them instead). Sarcastic sockwear! For those sassy soul mates who like to wear their hearts on their soles, instead of their sleeves. Souvenirs that scream Minnesota nice, but in a gentle, non-offensive whisper that won't draw too much attention. I think the only thing you can't buy in this gigantic store is the gift of gab. But even if you leave Heart's Desire empty-handed...you are sure to leave with a warm heart. Bonus: Save time and that extra stop for gift accoutrements by grabbing a greeting from the card aisle and asking an associate to gift wrap for you. Rating: BP 120/80
