This is a newly-opened jewelry firm in Highlands, NC. The owner is a jewelry designer from Florida…read more She is very competent, enjoys working with customers, and prices her work fairly. I have appreciated her jewelry designing talent enormously for more than a decade. She has designed at least 30 items for me. Every item was precisely and carefully created. Her work is admired by numerous out-of-state residents who annually seek her advice and assistance. Her store is located about two blocks from the main intersection in Highlands. She offers jewelry items at various price points, including even jewels for the high-end market. Jewelry repair is offered, too. She always backs the quality of her work. There's never a charge for making adjustments to purchased items. What is most unusual about her demeanor is her ability to work with her customers to determine their purpose/desire for jewelry. Even if you acquire gems from foreign countries, as I have, she will gladly guide you through the process of enhancing the gem for its most impressive presentation. Appraisal professionals are highly complimentary of her offerings and the quality of her work.

This is by far the worst store ever! I doubt the positive reviews are valid. Google review are…read moreconsistent with my experience. I entered the store and a sweaty lady rushed around the counter to stop my granddaughter and I entering the store. She said I would need to hold my granddaughters hand. We had just walked into the store and my granddaughter was calmly walking in and not touching a thing. The lady started telling me about something happening to her merchandise involving a child. I stopped her mid sentence and told her holding her hand would not be necessary since we won't be shopping in her store. She was so incredibly rude. This was the first shop we entered in the shopping center, luckily her behavior was the outlier. Don't give this hag your business. From what I have read, she has been far more rude to other shoppers.

As a self-proclaimed rock hound, Rose Creek Mine met all expectations and more…read more Our family of 6 went on Sunday, most of us choosing the "DIY Dig" buckets for $20 per person. The experience consisted of digging up two buckets of dirt from the pile that was recently hauled from their Smokey Mountain mine, and using the provided equipment to sift through little by little. The DIY dig touts "non-salted" buckets, which was important to me, giving us as close to a real boots on the ground mining experience that a family of all ages can expect. The pictured peach moonstone was my favorite find of the day, and I also took home some really unique and reasonably priced pieces from the gift shop. I've done a few "dig & sifts" across the states and I was especially impressed with the staff helping to identify the material found and packaging up and labeling for later. The extra few minutes spent was so appreciated. Special shout out to Miss. Nancy for making my family's visit extra special!

This place was amazing. The staff is incredibly helpful, it's a great value and the setup is…read morecomfortable and well shaded. My wife, myself and two girls found a ton of garnets, lots of quarts, a little bit of amethyst, moonstone, ruby and sapphires. Most of the gems were significantly included but they tell you ahead of time that it's pretty rare to find near perfect gems. It's still a great value and a lot of fun. If you want an extra bucket to shift through it's only an additional $5. As far as value the only place around here that might be better offers unlimited buckets for twice the price. That pretty much means you would have to sift through six buckets just to break even. If you only plan to go through 1-3 buckets this is a much better value and the people are nicer as well.
