But…read morethey don't care enough to extend the professional courtesy of spending 3 minutes to let you know you don't have the job. I think they start you at below a living wage (under $17 according to the U.S. government) and sell low end, tarnishable jewelery but act like they're holding interviews for NASA or something.

I tried for hours to get them apart but to no avail. There had to be a better way! I looked up Polly's online and due to their great reviews; I brought my issue and made it THEIR issue :) best decision ever! Lynn helped me and said she would do her absolute best to untangle the mess of beautiful necklaces that I provided to her. A couple days later I received a text and went into the store. Every tangle was gone. Necklaces were all in separate bags and received a small bill for their time, with a smile. We will certainly take our jewelry purchasing business here when the time comes. As for now, my wife can catch up on wearing her jewelry that had been tangled for the past few moths. Thx Lynn and Polly's!

A nightmare from start to finish. I dropped one of my vintage watches on the ground and the crystal…read moreshattered. It's a very simple mechanical watch from overseas that I was fond of. The date window looked fine and all I could see was only the crystal had shattered. I brought it to Emblers hoping to get it fixed quickly. They don't do any watch repairs in house and told me they'd have to ship it to a watch specialist to get a quote and to get it fixed. The cost of shipping even before the quote seemed high but I said yes since I was in a rush to get it fixed. It took Embler maybe 1.5 weeks before I got a quote and another 3 months before they told me it was fixed. I was calling almost every week and a half. They claimed they left a message but never did. Looking at the watch the crystal they replaced it with was nice but the date window was completely broken. When I wound it it was off center and the number didn't line up with the window anymore. I also got the watch back with the date window on a different date than when I had dropped it off, the watch was stopped when I had given it to Embler. I called Embler and he stonewalled me and claimed the watch maker had never opened it and would never do such a thing. What more he also claimed their watch maker had been working on watches longer than "you've been alive" and he worked all day on Patek Philippes and Rolexes and there's no way he'd ever break my watch. They refused to reimburse me for the damages and only offered to refund the replaced crystal. I was livid and didn't take Embler up on the offer as I was on rotating shift work working nights and was about to change Navy duty stations shortly after. I didn't want to even go back after being disrespected and gaslit. My watch is still broken and I don't have the time right now to get it fixed anymore. Don't trust this place with your watches. I don't have experience with their jewelery but I wouldn't trust them with that either. Take your watches or jewelery repair to Summerville Jewlery Repair instead, I had a great experience with them.

I take my ring back a few times a year for them to deep clean it and check the prongs and overall "health" of the ring. They are always helpful and kind. I work with my hands a lot and my soldered together wedding bands broke apart. I was really upset about it, but I brought it in and they assured me it would be good as new when they fixed it. Exactly on schedule 2 weeks later they called to say the rings were ready. I also took my engagement ring to be cleaned and they sparkled like new. They've always been helpful and I think the prices are great for any budget. They also can help find loose stones and make whatever your heart desires! I definitely recommend this jewelry store for any jewelry needs!

It was a fairly quick process to have the necklace made. Everyone in the store was so attentive and helpful. I spent $158.05 for my necklace + 6 charms. The charms range in prices, mine were $10-$20 each and the necklace was $60. I also got a few inches added on to mine so it would fit looser on me. I think it was well worth the price. When I got home, one of my charms had disappeared from my necklace. I sent a message to them and got an email reply fairly quickly, and they were able to send me a replacement charm with a clip. Hopefully I don't lose this one! All that to say, my experience was fabulous, My necklace is so fun and me, and the customer service was top notch. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Charleston!
