This had to have been the biggest and BEST surprise of our entire get-away! Joe, the Mountain Man…read morehimself, is super modest and soft spoken but wickedly talented artist. Predominantly designing jewelry from old U.S. solid sterling silver coins in his little unassuming shop. He was very accommodating to our requests and super interesting to talk with. We watched as he transformed what was a sterling silver coin into a beautiful piece of jewelry. Sounds strange but is really breathtaking. On some pieces he leaves the ridges of the original coin and when viewed from the back, you can still see what coin it was made from. Even his website [ http://www.vermontmountainman.com ] doesn't do his art justice. I swear if you order anything he hand makes it will surpass your expectations. I'm glad he has this site because you do get a little glance of quality work and can defiantly see the value in his ridiculously affordable pricing! After we left his shop we couldn't stop talking about his impressive work... so much so we returned to buy even more jewelry as holiday gifts [before we knew he had an online presence with his own website, Etsy, Facebook, etc ] and give him a coin we found for him! So fun and a place we will not soon forget. Definitely keep this place on your places to visit when you head through the area. I promise you won't be disappointed!

This weekend my husband and I went into Amidons by the Powerhouse Mall in West Leb.l for Christmas…read more I found a pair of Italian gold hoop earrings I loved and noticed a nick in the gold on one earring and a large abrasion/wear on the other. I asked if another pair could be ordered and they weren't sure because it was the weekend and they needed to reach out to the manufacturer. Today they called me back to say it's out of stock. What got to me is that they were perfectly comfortable selling those earrings to me with damage and tried explaining to me that it's the type of polished gold and it will mark up eventually anyways. If you spend $1,000 on a pair of earrings, you want them in nice condition to begin with. I asked if they could fix the damaged ones on display (bc I loved them that much) and the sales rep said no. It's my second bad experience there. Last time I brought my great grandmothers ring there to get it sized. The jeweler accidentally sized down to a thinner band. When I went to pick it up I noticed it right away. The sales rep never apologized and after the rep confirmed the error on the order, they just offered to refund me for the lesser gold. I didn't trust them to take my ring again at this point to fix it. I didn't want this ring to keep getting resized several times when they should've gotten right the first time. I was extremely disappointed because it was a 75+ year old family diamond ring I was gifted to me. It has significant sentimental value to my family and I felt as though it wasn't a big deal to them and just another job to do. I'm not one to make a big deal about things but since this was my second poor experience there. First with the sizing of a family heirloom and second with not caring enough about a piece they're going to sell at full price with visible damage to it. You would think they would care enough about the pieces they sell to be in new condition. I wouldn't have even bought it at a discounted price due to the damage. Wish I took pictures of them to post but in the moment I didn't think of doing this.

The personalized experience made us feel extremely valued as we explored their exquisite collection of estate jewelry. We were especially impressed by the pricing on their estate pieces. I purchased a stunning white gold ring for my mom's 60th birthday, and the quality of the estate jewelry far exceeded the amazing price we paid. Every piece is a testament to the craftsmanship and historical value they offer. A standout highlight of our visit was meeting David, the best gemologist I've ever come across. Even though his standard rate is $75 an hour, he graciously provided my boyfriend and me with a complimentary inspection of two stones. His in-depth knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile truly set this jewelry store apart. Whether you're looking for a special gift or a unique piece of estate jewelry, MJ Harrington Jewelers offers both exceptional value and unparalleled customer service. We couldn't recommend them--and particularly David--more highly!
