I've been shopping at The Golden Crane for almost 20 years, usually picking up a special piece here…read moreand there. But in 2023, coming out of COVID and after years of living in athleisure or in items that felt just "meh, good enough," I realized I had completely lost my sense of personal style. I didn't know where to start. Regina and Julie changed that. They took the time to get to know me and work with me, and that helped me develop a style that truly feels like me and also fits my lifestyle. Their guidance has been thoughtful, patient, and incredibly helpful. Through this process, I've also learned that buying things online or from big-box stores and even second hand stores was actually more expensive in the long run. Why? Because I kept ending up with clothes that didn't fit me right, didn't work for my day-to-day life, were poor quality and didn't last, and ultimately weren't aligned with the aesthetic I truly wanted but didn't yet know how to create. Now I have a smaller closet with high-quality pieces from vendors they carefully select for their commitment to ethical and sustainable fashion, handmade goods, local artists, and women-owned businesses. My closet feels fuller, more intentional, and more "me" than it ever has. And I get stopped and complimented almost every time I wear one of their pieces. That kind of attention isn't something I've ever sought out, but it's amazing how a quick conversation about a great outfit or accessory can brighten even the darkest, rainiest day. Regina and Julie, I can't thank you enough for helping me find my fashion groove again. The Golden Crane is a true treasure in our town, and I am so grateful for both of you.

horrible customer service. I have purchased items over the years that. have been broken (as in a…read morefinal sale necklace. Where the break only became obvious when I tried to wear it) or just very badly constructed. I've been cautious in my purchases as I don't want to get caught out. But last summer I came across a dress that met my needs perfectly. I ensured the fit was correct before my purchase. Then I wore it, and I was at a gathering and moving around. The buttons down the front loosened up while I was up, and when I sat down the front opened wide, embarrassing me and my companions. When I reported it to the store, knowing I could not return the faulty item, the response was, in full "We've never had any problems with them before". Wrong response. The respectful, responsible, and caring response would have been "I'm so sorry" or something expressing empathy. So the store might have cute and "unique" clothing, but if you want something worth having you're better off looking elsewhere

I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

They took detailed photos of the ring before, which were included on the estimate and receipt, and gave a clear estimate of what to expect. This is after we dropped it off at a different shop in Albany to have two bands soldered together, where photos were not taken of the ring at drop off and he felt overall uneasy about that experience. I really felt like everyone was friendly and helpful!

About a year ago, I brought a ring in to Olufson to inquire about having it appraised. The sales…read moreassociate was nice, told me they don't do appraisals, and that they generally don't recommend an appraisal them unless you are planning on selling the ring (strange advice if you ask me. I wanted to have it appraised for insurance). I don't think she knew that I brought the ring in a year or two earlier to have the gem identified (it was an inherited ring and we didn't know what the gem was). And I was told at the time that it was a high quality gem with high quality diamonds on it. She offered to buy it on the spot for $388. I politely declined knowing that the ring was likely worth a lot more. I finally had it appraised and the replacement value is off the charts. I know that replacement/insurance value is not equal to a purchase/selling price AT ALL, but the gold alone is worth 10x what they offered me. So shady. I would never go back to Olufson after this. Moral of the story: Always ALWAYS get a second opinion. Never sell jewelry on the spot. And maybe avoid Olufson.
