Rick has always been friendly, a quick smiling greeting when I arrive and often has time to chat a bit.

Thank you, Rick, for the many years of great service. Jim & Dianne

My first visit was to have some work done on my wedding ring...it wasn't long before they had the ring back to me. Cleaned and polished, too! I have been back for some advice on a different matter but decided since I was in the store anyway to have another quick clean and polish to my wedding ring. It was no charge and again I felt the friendly customer service! Beautiful small-town store! Lots of shiny things, too! I would recommend.

Against my better judgment, I kept it. My own jeweler tightened the stone and buffed the scratches out of the band. A short time later, the tanzanite came loose again even without being worn. My jeweler indicated that the prongs needed to be fixed and were not the correct prongs for that large of a tanzanite. Barbara said that I should get a quote from my jeweler for the repairs and then let her know how much so we could work something out. Once my 30 day protection through eBay ran out, Barbara stopped responding to my emails. My jeweler did not want to fix the ring because tanzanite is so delicate so I asked her to please fix the prongs on the ring so that I can wear the ring without worrying about losing the tanzanite. She will not stand behind her item and fix it. Poor business practices. Will be reporting her to the Better Business Bureau.

I stopped in to have my ring resized before I left the state for the winter months, I quickly realized that the ring was too large. But because I was out of state and then Covid hit I was unable to stop back in .However when I was back in the state able to stop in , I asked them to resize it for me againI was re charged to have it sized correctly. A few months after this service my ring broke in the area that it had been cut to resize. Again I had to stop in for a repair and this time I was not charged. Although I was not charged for this repair I was told they could not guarantee their work unless I paid several hundreds to add extra gold to reinforce the broken area. This whole process has taken several years and I feel that I probably have a ring that is weaker than when I had originally taken it in and it has cost me several hundreds. Sadly, after many years of loyalty to this business I am unable to trust their workmanship and so I will not be shopping there again.

Tim (owner of Perrine Appraisals) was hired by my bank to do an appraisal of my home for a HELOC…read morerequest. I was very surprised by how low his appraisal came in on my property. His appraisal was about 50-60% of what the property is worth. While it didn't directly impact me as my HELOC is still with in the LTV requirements (since there is no primary mortgage), it was really frustrating to see. Upon further review, I noticed not a single one of the comparable properties he used on my appraisal had direct ownership on the chain of lakes my property is on. I would have expected someone in the "lakes area" to better understand how to appraise lake homes. Hopefully, Perrine Appraisals can take this candid feedback into future appraisals.
