For just a moment, I thought I was transported to Los Angeles, California…read more Here in these parts there is a hip boutique called "Common Roots". To the locals its a big town or it may be seen as a small city with heart in Southwest Oklahoma. Here the owners have created a place with a "buy local" vibe and it works. It's my kind of boutique outside of SoCal! The shop has a soda bar (great for the kids and big adults), a kitshy kitchen and home section, fun clothing (Dear John denim, Wanderlux tops, Toms shoes, to name several offerings), handmade jewelry and homemade artisan foods, tees and souviners abound! If you reside here, visit here or happen to find yourself here for one reason or another...go to Common Roots. Whether you are little bit country, a little bit rock and roll or you simply need some Gram Parsons inspiration...you will find something you love! #CommonRoots #SodaBar #MyStylePrescription #LAStyleintheSouthwest

This has to be one of McAlester's best hidden gems. I absolutely love this store. It's in the…read morebeautiful downtown district and near other stores, but this one takes the cake. They have the softest shirts, really cute and unique items. I visit here several times a week. They also have a soda area, where you can get bottled sodas of 20-40 different varieties. There is also little sweet treats throughout the shop as they sell fudge, Bedre chocolate, and an assortment of truffles and chocolates. If you come to McAlester you won't want to miss this store!

So a friend of mine wanted a mother's ring made for her daughter's grandmother. She wanted…read moregrandma's kids' names engraved alongside their birth stones, a very standard thing. She decided that instead of Kay or Walmart or another multi-billion-dollar corporation, she'd prefer to get it from the Jeweler's Box to buy local, so the community's economy gets the business! We went in together and looked through his vendor's catalogue and found a truly beautiful design. She ordered it, signed the contract, and paid a $40 deposit. The four-stone ring was listed in the book for about $98 as sterling silver, around $108 after tax. He had mentioned the engraving (as she also wanted an engraving on the inside of the ring) may be extra, but still probably no more than around $120 total. He calls her back in a few days and tells her not only is the engraving a few dollars extra, and not only is each stone set into the 4-stone listed design an extra charge per stone, marking it up to an almost $300 retail price, the stones aren't even genuine. He said he can let her have it for I believe it was $280 because of the confusion. She still planned on paying it because the added value would make it even that much more special. She forgot to mention to me that the stones were non-genuine until after we went in together to see it. The ring comes in. She goes in without me to see it and tells me how you can't even hardly see the engraved names! It had super bold, black name engravings in the book and is supposed to be professionally cast, which is what makes it so bold. But you can barely see it. I go in to look at it with her. The secretary takes it out of an envelope (not a velvet box), and it doesn't even look engraved from a distance. It has very faint, cut-engraved letters, no black at all, just cuts. It looks nothing like I remember it looking in the book. It also had a very almost bubbly-looking, almost painted-looking finish to the metal, not the designer-crafted, casted, quality look in the catalogue. This ring looked nothing like in the book. The engraving looked like it had simply been cut in. The stones weren't even genuine, having upcharged the piece to almost $300! He was very quick to just give her deposit back and scrap it... We are pretty convinced it wasn't even ordered from anyone. I honestly believe he thought he could manage to charge her almost $300 for something he did himself in his basement or something. I don't think he even has a back room in his store, that I can tell. There are no doors on the inside that I could see. This is a professional jeweler who disassembles, weighs, repairs, and evaluates pieces of jewelry. Ain't no workshop in his store!!!! He has to take stuff home to a home workshop or something, which is very, very shady. There is no telling what he does to people's jewelry in a basement out of town somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if this is someone who replaces people's real stones with fake stones and all that other crazy stuff you hear goes on. Later, we went to Walmart and ordered a ring with genuine stones that cost around $108 plus tax, so about $120 total. It can safely be assumed that if Walmart can sell four genuine stones in a sterling silver ring for $108 total, the Jeweler's Box's vendor would not be the entity charging $150 extra (non-retail cost, as JB said they sold the ring to him for $250 cost before his $30 profit markup) for non-genuine stones.
