    Silver Star Jewelry & potttery
    Phil S.

    One of our stops in Old Scottsdale was Silver Star a shop that specializes in Jewelry and fine pottery. The jewelry came in an assortment of gold, silver, turquoise and other mediums from a variety of artisans & craftsmen. In addition there was an assortment of beautiful pottery by different artists. Some of the pottery in the Raku style is beautiful. There were a few items in particular that drew our attention. One of the items was a ornamental dish with cream & reddish orange clay, w/black wispy horse hair burned into the pottery creating a random black wispy pattern on the item. I think it creates a beautiful effect. You will never be able to create an identical piece so all items are truly one of a kind and unique. Raku generally refers to a type of low-firing process that was inspired by traditional Japanese raku firing. Western-style raku usually involves removing pottery from the kiln while at bright red heat and placing it into containers with combustible materials. Once the materials ignite, the containers are closed. This produces an intense reduction atmosphere which effects the colors in glazes and clay bodies. The owner John greeted us as we came in and quickly turned on the sales pitch. He was very knowledgeable about the different items without being pushy sharing information about different items and offering prices which were hard to resist. As it turns out he is trying to close this location so some of his offers were very difficult to resist. The particular item was created by an artist named Casey Hankin who provides Raku vases for Silver Star and is a regular contributor to John's inventory of Raku artwork. Some of the jewelry is crafted by the owner John and some by the Navajo's. The pottery is crafted by the Navajo tribes which have a huge influence as they are spread throughout Arizona, parts of New Mexico & Colorado My wife bought a matching pair of silver & turquoise dream catcher earrings with a matching necklace made by a Navajo artisan.

    Custom Zuni squash blossom
    Elise S.

    I have DREAMED of owning a squash blossom necklace for years and my amazing husband had one custom made for me for Christmas from Silver Star. He told the jewelers what he was wanting, the type of turquoise he wanted, and size options and they had two different necklaces made up and allowed him to choose which one to purchase. When my husband began the process of buying the necklace and was told they would custom make one, he asked "but what if I don't like it?" They responded "we will just put it for sell if you don't like it." They we're friendly and efficient, I was told, and created a gorgeous Zuni squash blossom. I highly recommend them for custom orders.

    Lovely vintage kingman turquoise necklace from Silver Star Jewelry... Now my sister owns it :)

    See all

    Nice selection of jewelry at different price points. Selection could be a bit more organized and customer service a little less brusque.

    1 Star -- Extremely Disappointing Experience…read more I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience at E.D. Marshall Jewelers, especially because my family has been doing business with them for three generations. On March 7th, I had an appointment to have my Rolex appraised. Sergio assisted me and provided two options: an outright purchase price or a consignment price. I chose to consign the watch based on the information he gave me, including his assurance that he believed the watch would sell within about a month. When I left my Rolex with them, I was given an extremely generic receipt. There was no detailed description of the watch, no itemized breakdown, and no clear consignment terms--literally just my name and a handwritten quoted price. Looking back, I should have questioned this immediately, especially considering the value of the item I was leaving in their possession. One month turned into more than five months. By August 15th, my watch still had not sold. What made the experience even worse was the lack of communication. I would email Sergio and sometimes go weeks without receiving a response. When you entrust a business with a Rolex, you should not have to repeatedly chase someone down just to get an update. Before picking up my watch on August 15th, I asked Sergio if E.D. Marshall would honor the original outright purchase price I had been quoted in March. He declined and offered me approximately $2,000 less, telling me that gold prices had gone down. I found that explanation extremely disappointing, especially since my original appraisal and consignment involved a Rolex watch--not simply scrap gold. When I arrived to pick up my watch, Sergio was there. After more than five months of waiting and poor communication, I expected at least some acknowledgment of how the situation had been handled. Instead, he simply retrieved my watch and sent me on my way. This is especially disappointing because I'm the third generation of my family to purchase jewelry from E.D. Marshall. There was a history and level of trust there, which made this experience even more frustrating. Unfortunately, that relationship ends with me. Based on my experience, if you're considering selling or consigning a valuable watch, I would recommend going somewhere else. Five months of waiting, little to no communication, inadequate paperwork, and then an offer $2,000 below the original quote was a complete waste of my time. E.D. Marshall is not the business I remember it being, and I will not be returning.

    To be honest, I'm surprised I'm writing this review, but our experience in our recent visit made it…read moreso we're definitely never returning, and would highly recommend people go elsewhere for their needs. The first time my fiancée and I visited, we were freshly engaged and needed her ring sized a bit smaller (from a 6). We saw that Schmitt had good reviews and it was in our neighborhood, so we paid them a visit. During our first visit, the employees (a young woman and a gentleman who was billed as sort of the "expert" on ring resizing) were very kind to us and worked with us to determine the correct size to go down to on the ring. The gentleman was extremely insistent that we need to go all the way down to a 5 and, despite the fact that my fiancée was honestly and vocally uncomfortable with it, we trusted his expertise (after all, we had gone in seeking advice) and paid to have it resized to a 5. Fast forward almost a year of us convincing ourselves a 5 was the right size, my fiancée is at this point having extreme anxiety about how much effort (and pain) it takes to put on & take off the ring every day, and we decide size 5 is simply too small. While a 5 fits her finger fine once the ring was on, getting it over the last knuckle is difficult and painful, and has been leaving the skin on her knuckle irritated and inflamed. Yes, Schmitt was wrong (and confidently, emphatically wrong), but we understand that nobody is perfect and we were totally willing to trust them again to get it right this time. However, when we visited this time, the energy we were given by the employee who "greeted" us at the door (an older woman with gray hair wearing a ton of jewelry) was immediately hostile. When we explained our situation and that we were hoping to have the ring resized (and obviously willing to pay to have it done), the woman was flippant and condescending and not AT ALL consultative. Without seeming to give it much thought, the woman asked if we wanted to go to a 5.75. While we were open to this, we pointed out that the previous gentleman we worked with was insistent that a 5 (from a 6) was the right size, so we were hesitant to go all the way back three quarters of a size so easily. The woman suggested that my fiancée's knuckle "must have grown an entire size" in the time since our first visit. She then again asked us if we wanted to go to a 5.75, with the impression that she didn't really want to go back-and-forth any longer. I understand that ring sizing is a sort of imperfect science and that bodies (and fingers) DO change, but the energy and attitude we received was seriously off-putting and, frankly, unwelcoming. We probably don't look or dress like most of Schmitt's customers, but we are nice people and can afford to shop there (not that that should matter). We left Schmitt's and took the ring to another local jeweler (see my other reviews) the same day where we received excellent, friendly, and consultative service. Turns out you can put beads on the inside of a ring that is slightly too big to help balance things out! My fiancée now has a perfectly-fitting ring, size 6 with two small beads on the inside to help stabilize it once over her knuckle. We gave Schmitt's an honest chance even after they messed up badly the first time, and they blew it. Please go elsewhere.
