After scouring the web for a Triangle area appraiser, I made an appointment with Rebekah, and…read morehaving met with her I am happy to recommend her wholeheartedly. My situation was possessing three family rings with various sizes of gems and three grown sons. Trying to be fair in passing the rings on, I needed someone who could assess each one. Rebekah has a professional's eye and experience, and I came away from our appointment confident in how to proceed with the distribution. Finally, while her Web site describes her gemology credentials and captures her personal attractiveness, it doesn't do justice to her warmth and empathy.

Selling the jewelry I inherited from my Grandmother was an emotional experience and I put it off…read morefor quite a long time. Eventually I contacted a handful of local jewelers, but remained apprehensive about the process until speaking with Rebekah at Earth Pebbles. Rebekah's patience and compassion for this process was evident even via e-mail, and after corresponding with her I finally felt ready to proceed. Rebekah is a uniquely creative person with a real passion for finding the right home for precious heirlooms. She took her time appraising my items and answering all of my questions. Parting with inheritance can be difficult, but working with Rebekah feels more like an artistic process than a business transaction. I highly recommend Earth Pebbles.

He is very experienced, with four generations of experience, with decades being his own personal experience. We called him and we were very happy we did. Our piano ended up needing more than we thought, and Henry repaired it all, for the same originally quoted price. What a truly caring person he is! He didn't just do what was "required" he also did everything that was needed. He also plays extremely well! Very impressed by his playing skills once we was done servicing our piano. We highly recommend his services for all your piano care needs.

Very professional and job well done. Highly recommend! Timely and competitive pricing.read more

Would not recommend them with high carat gold. Wanted to turn my 24k gold into other jewelry and…read morethey did a scratch test to test the gold. They stated it was 22k. As a jeweler, they should know scratch tests are not meant for higher carat gold but a xrf or pmi gun. Took it to a pawn shop for testing and even the jewel recycle and they both confirmed it was 24k. Them being jewelers, they should know this and not try to scam customers. Their work is amazing from what I have seen but I can not trust them. Beware.

From the moment I met one of the owners, this gem of a store got my attention. Before setting foot into the shop, I was impressed by their proactive, organic social media campaigns. The visit to Jewel Smith of Durham blew our minds. The attention to in-store customer service was most refreshing and sadly unique. They know how to make the jewelry purchase experience fun and memorable. Each piece is created by talented architects with impressive tools and timeless machinery. There are exquisite pieces that are one of a kind with gems carefully purchased from every part of our planet. I realized after my first visit to the local mall here how I'd never again attempt a purchase at a chain jeweler. It's not too late for Christmas with their fully staffed extended Holiday hours and a dedicated parking lot. And then there's always Valentines Day.

They were always very responsive to my texts. They came in and organized content and found items that we had been searching for that were special. They hosted the sale for 3 days. They displayed complete honesty and transparency, patience and kindness to the buyers, and even helped dismantle and load heavy items for our community buyers! I can't say enough good things! I was thrilled with the final proceeds. They are a small company with a huge heart. Don't hesitate to engage them!

TLDR: Estate sale company with clean out services. Reasonable prices, open to bargaining. Friendly,…read morehelpful employees. Seems family-run. Bolton can be hired to run your estate sale and provide clean out services. They recently opened up the barn in Willow Springs off Old Stage again for a sale. The gravel driveway offered ample parking. I was welcomed upon arrival, offered assistance, and informed to ignore the prices. The barn and yard had a large variety of items seemingly from multiple estates. The items were not organized so it took a bit of work to go through things. They varied in condition, some not worth selling. If you have the time, you will find some nice items for a great deal. I ended up getting a few items for a bargain. They accept cash, Venmo, and credit card. I have not used their services, but it seems like an easy way to sell your items and quickly clean out your house. I appreciated the help provided by the employees to load up my vehicle. They also offer to deliver the items to your home (if you live close by) for an additional fee.
