But if you have anything more complicated than a watch battery to repair, avoid this place for custom work. They made such a mess of the piece I gave them, they are lucky I actually paid them. First of all they insisted the piece needed lasering instead of soldering and charged me a fortune to "send it out". The piece is sapphires and diamonds and actually a skilled jeweler knows you don't have to laser sapphires and diamonds. The problem is they don't have a skilled jeweler. They have the owner's son with about three weeks of training. Having said they were sending out to be lasered, it's pretty clear "Junior" used it as a practice piece, because it was so bad, I am now having it redone at Tilden Ross, a real jeweler.

If you want something beautiful to remember your trip to Anna Marie island, this should be on your list of places to stop. They have beautiful AMI jewlery and other beautiful jewlery to choose from. I think the prices are reasonable. They have items for every price range. Thank you John and your wonderful staff.

All I can say is wow--this was one of the most unexpectedly disappointing customer service…read moreexperiences I've had in a long time. I visited this local frame shop hoping to create a meaningful shadow box for my 10-year-old daughter, who recently earned her black belt. I brought in a gold leaf certificate, a signed board she broke during testing, and her embroidered belt--items that clearly carry significant personal value. I was looking for guidance from someone presenting themselves as a framing expert. Unfortunately, the interaction fell well short of that expectation. From the outset, the level of engagement was minimal. A single sample was placed on the counter with the comment, "this is what you get," without any effort to explore design options or understand the significance of the project. When I asked for input on matting, the recommendation was simply "white," without any discussion of contrast or presentation. When I raised a reasonable concern about the certificate being washed out, the response was dismissive rather than collaborative. Basic elements of the project--such as layout of the belt--were initially described as not feasible, until I suggested alternatives myself. At that point, it was acknowledged as possible, which raised further concerns about the depth of expertise being applied. More concerning was the lack of attention to fundamental details. There was no discussion of glass options, pricing, or timeline during the initial consultation. When I returned shortly after to clarify these essential points and expressed my disappointment in the lack of guidance, the conversation was abruptly ended with, "we're done," and I was told to take the project elsewhere. For a business positioning itself as a professional framing service, this level of communication and customer interaction is difficult to reconcile. I ultimately took the project to Hobby Lobby, where the experience was markedly different--thoughtful recommendations were offered, options were clearly explained, and pricing and timeline were provided upfront. I value supporting local businesses, but professionalism, collaboration, and basic customer respect are non-negotiable. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.
