This used to be a good place to purchase jewelry, but those days are gone!! If I could give them a…read moreminus 10, I would not hesitate to do so as a result of my last transaction with Kyle. I took in a necklace that they had made for me years ago to request that they take my stones and put them in a ring instead. I found a rind I liked, left my stones with them, and received a call stating that I needed to bring in 1/2 of the purchase price in order to have the ring made. They had not told me that previously. I went to the store and gave them 1/2 as they had requested. Kyle was there, and I let him know that I had purchased many pieces of jewelry from them over the years and never had been asked for money down. Further, I told him that I found it offensive to have that happen this time. Kyle immediately raised his voice and said "Well, let's just cancel the sale then!"! He further stated that they want the deposit for security in case I did not pick up the ring. I said "Well, you have my stones". I tried to explain that I just was sharing my feelings about how this request and how it was different than any other time I made a purchase. I wasn't refusing to give them the deposit. They already had that in hand. He again reiterated, louder this time, that we should just cancel the sale then. A female then intervened and tried to smooth things over, because I was horrified at how I was being treated and as this continued I began to cry (which I don't easily do). She initially convinced me to continue with the sale, and I left the store. But I was so upset with the way I was treated that I went back in, told her that no one had ever treated me that way, let her know that I never wanted to deal with Kyle again, and asked for my stones and my deposit back. She gave me both and I left, incredulous that I had been so disrespected. Later that day Kyle called me and told me that he had checked their records, knew that I had purchased many things from them in the past and was never asked to pay a deposit, and offered me the ring at 1/3 off, I told him I would have to think about it. I called them back a few days later and told them that I would take the ring. I picked up the ring in early October along with an appraisal, and I did not deal with Kyle. I had the old appraisal from the necklace and compared them and noticed that part of the appraisal was missing, but was reluctant to return to the store because I did not believe I would be treated with respect if I complained about this. Also, I was unhappy with how the larger stone was set in the ring. So I waited a long time while deciding what I should do to remedy this situation and to leave this review. I believe that Kyle needs to take a comprehensive course on customer relations!!! So I took the ring and the appraisal to Gilger Designs down the street from Ames Silversmithing. They reset the larger stone for me and gave me a new appraisal that was complete. They treated me with respect, ,and I cannot praise their work and customer service enough, especially after my bad experience with Kyle. I will NEVER go back to Ames Silversmithing!! Lyn Wilson

You walk in and there are giant display case. There are items for all people. As you make your way into the store there was "hello" from somewhere. A really nice gentleman greeted me. He asked if there was something I was looking for. I asked him about incense. He gave me directions to the back. There was so much to see! There were Frisbee/discs. There were skating accessories. As you make your way back the vibe becomes calmer. The crystals, incense, gifts, witchy things galore. I was able to find the incense and made my selections. Made my way back to the front of the store. Made some small talk with the gentleman and headed out. I want to go back and take a look at more. There is a lot going on here. The price was right and I will be back.

There is definitely a lot inside, but in my opinion, you don't feel crowded and can easily look around for hours in here. All of the prices are wonderful as well!

However there is also over priced junk that for some reason is never pulled from the shelves. Beware of items labeled "vintage" they are most likely overpriced. If you like it, you can buy it on eBay for the same price or less and even return it if you don't like it.
