I went to this store because I had been a regular customer of Adorned jewelry when it was still a…read morepart of the tattoo salon (I was also a tattoo customer). This was my first visit to the stand-alone store. It's a very pretty store with lovely things. I was prepared to spend a significant amount of money on an anniversary gift for my partner and that's why I went there. Why did I leave empty handed? 1. Nothing is priced and asking a price results in an inattentive sales woman looking it up on a tablet which takes a long time, that is, if you can get her attention (I was the only customer in the store when I walked in). 2. When I first asked a price I was told in a way that assumed I couldn't afford it they everything in that case was at least $2,000. 3. Attitude. I'm a middle-aged, successful person. No need for 20-something sales women to act superior. I treat them with respect and expect the same in return. 4. When someone finally asked if I needed help (a person somewhat interested in at least playing the role of a salesperson) she seemed to want to help but not to really know what was in stock or what pieces were made of or any ballpark prices. She also seemed not really knowledgable about jewelry in general. She looked up one material/price for me and it took 5-10 minutes to find it. 5. Due to lack of service I couldn't even come close to selecting something. I realized they were going to close soon so I asked what time they were closing. I was BARKED AT like a person who was loitering, "In TWO MINUTES WE'RE CLOSING." I crassly said I was planing to spend a significant amount of money, but I guess that wasn't very interesting to this store! An even slightly ambitious person would happily have said to take a little time and offered help. They were like, Buh-bye! I'll look at their website and contact the designers directly.

I like to buy records. First of all, this market keeps their merchandise in very poor condition…read more Usually the records are wet, as they are kept out there rain or shine. Also, they are extremely over priced. They wanted $90 for a copy of Deja Vu. The woman said it was an "original" and that their price was half of what you would find on ebay. Well, I knew she was full of it, but I checked ebay, and did not find one copy over $25. They wanted $50 for a piss poor copy of Every Picture Tells a Story. $125 for a Beatles record (i think VI) with extreme water damage. You can get Beatle records for a song (no pun intended) all day. They're everywhere. Don't let these good folks fool you.

Also, if you are someone who really goes by the ENERGY of a place...the overall vibe...and if you like when you get the strong sense that everything in the establishment is very carefully selected and curated, then you too will love this place. I happened to pass by this place, yesterday, and was drawn in by the adorable exterior and the setup in the window. It appears that all or most items are made in Korea. Everything in the shop was 'just so'.... of very high quality, and very unique...particularly some of the pottery (mugs, teapots, teacups, etc.) I also saw candles, very delicate bracelets, etc. If you are looking for a present, either for yourself or for someone else who appreciates fine quality, I highly recommend this shop!

The prices are really good, and what made the experience even better was the staff--they were super friendly and actually knew about nearly everything they carried. We especially loved browsing the stationery and testing the perfumes; each scent was unique and really well-crafted. It's a wonderful spot to find a special, one-of-a-kind gift or just treat yourself to something beautiful.

This place has been part of the community for as long as I can remember, and it's easy to see why it remains a favorite. What sets Norbu apart is not only the beautiful, thoughtfully curated collection of jewelry but also the exceptional customer service. After browsing several other stores in the area, I came back to Norbu because nothing else quite measured up -- not in quality, and certainly not in care. I went to just browse the shop recently to see what I could get myself as a gift. The experience was nothing short of lovely. The staff was warm, patient, and genuinely attentive -- helping me make a meaningful choice with zero pressure. They made sure every detail was just right, and their kindness made the moment feel truly special. Thank you, Norbu, for your care, your expertise, and for continuing to be a trusted, welcoming space in our community.

I realized after wearing it it was brass plated and the employee did not mention that at all and told me it would last and not tarnish if I kept it in good condition. It started to peel off after 2 or 3 months and now I have a ring that is peeling off and doesn't look too sightly. After one wash the "brass" changed color and so I placed translucent polish on it but it still peeled off. I'm guessing this brass plate is very low quality and not worth it. I give an extra stars for the other pretty pieces in the store but this particular one was not up to par for me.
