I have never felt this way about a store but it keeps bringing me back (whether I need a gift for someone or not!). They have BEAUTIFUL earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. They also have all natural and homemade soaps, smudge sticks (look it up, so cool!), and insect repellant. In addition, they have facial rollers/massagers, sound bowls, home decor, cute succulents and so much more. If you're looking for a gift from "Lavallette, NJ", they have mugs and keychains with their name and Lavallette written on it. Owners, Dot & Brian, are salt of the earth people. You will want to keep visiting them and you will want to give them business. Check them out in person or online!

Warning - Do not bring your jewelry to this place for repairs!!!! They are thieves!! I brought in…read moremy engagement ring to have an upgraded stone placed in my old setting. They shaved gold from my setting and made it thinner, and also gave me less sturdy prongs for my diamond. They tried to deny what they did, but I had the shank replaced elsewhere not long before , because another jeweler thinned it out. I also made the jeweler bring out the old prongs to compare. They did make the corrections after I fought with them, but it never should have had to fight to have my ring fixed in the first place. Please remember to: Have your jewelry formally appraised. Buy diamonds that are certified by GIA with a serial number engraved on your diamond, so it can't be switched . Bring your paperwork with you and review your diamond through the microscope yourself to confirm your laser etched serial number.

My husband and I have made purchases from Corinne since the early 2000's. Both inexpensive and more…read moreexpensive pieces. Our first experience with Corinne involved my engagement ring, which was purchased from another jeweler. The ring on the bottom continued to break and the other store continued to try and repair the broken platinum ring with no luck. We finally brought it to Corinne for repair and from that point on (many years ago) I have never had any issues with the band breaking again. Which gives you peace of mind, in regards to a cherished and valuable piece. We have had other items repaired over the years and most recently my engagement ring soldered together with my two wedding bands. Essence was wonderful when handling this repair order, as well as a very small purchase I made the same day for my young daughter. I know the holidays are an exceptionally busy time at your store so I was not in any rush to get my rings within a certain time frame. At week three I did call and there was a tiny issue with the rings and the order. Essence called me back almost immediately and she resolved the small problem quickly and professionally. I would trust Corinne to purchase jewelry, repair and anything in between. There is a reason they have been in business for so many years. Corinne will always have our business. Trust, is the biggest reason why. A+ experience every time. Thank you Essence.
