    Bracelet with missing stones

    He has a great collection of jewelry to select from & lots of it he made at great prices. What was really amazing is.. I have a inlaid opel & turquoise cuff bracelet that a couple pieces came out. I couldn't find anyone to fix it & John said he could. I mailed it, he repaired it & mailed it back quickly. It looks awesome. I go to his shop every year when I go out to Cave Creek.

    Ring

    John was very helpful and accommodating. We bought a ring several years back at another Jeweler in Prescott. A couple of coral pieces had fallen out and we needed it sized and fixed. John was not only able to size, but was able to replace the intricate pieces of coral that needed replacing! Please, visit his shop in Old Town Scottsdale if you're in town and tell him CHI-Town sent you!

    The one he sold me and swapped out the chain

    Was in Arizona for a friend's bachelor's party and wanted to buy a mother's day gift since AZ was known for gemstones and handcrafted jewelry. Was told a pendant necklace was filled gold and real jade and topaz. Sold to me for about $100 and told me it was originally $230. I was told it was an antique. After flying back home to California, I examined it and found that it was worn in some areas and the jade looked fake. After a quick google search, I found the same exact pendant on Alibaba for $5 and that he simply swapped out the chain. The gold filled, was gold plated, the topaz was zircon. I could dwell on the shame of being scammed, but what stays with me more is the deep disappointment that someone would exploit me in my attempt to show gratitude to my mother. Edit: I wanted this experience to be over when I made my original post, but this had been dredged into my day again before Mother's Day. It is despicable that this man is doubling down on his deceit and claims I did not purchase this from his store. I do not have the receipt, but I have posted a section of my bank statement for the public to prove I made a purchase at his store that aligns with the price I stated I paid. I desire no further contact from this evil man. Yelp has also stated I violated posting guidelines for posting a picture of the same pendant I found on Alibaba. But you can simply google "jade butterfly gold pendant" and find links for this product on Alibaba, Amazon, Etsy, and Ebay for a far cheaper price than what I paid for.

    My parents and I had such a pleasant experience visiting Zaman's Collection! The owner was welcoming and knowledgeable. We're very pleased with the beautiful pieces we purchased. He shipped a ring to me after sizing and it arrived so quickly and in great shape. Definitely a place worth stopping by if you're in Scottsdale and appreciate unique jewelry!

    We hung this piece at the foot of our bed so that every morning we can wake to the desert sun.

    We recently visited Scottsdale and decided to explore the Old Town shops. John's shop stood apart from the rest in terms of both interesting variety and John's impressive knowledge of virtually every piece in his store. John is a very friendly and outgoing kind of guy. My very first impression of him was simply that he was talkative, but as I have gotten to know him since that first visit I have come to understand that what is really happening is John is passionate about art, and he surrounds himself with items that ignite that spark within him. On our initial visit a large format copper flat art piece caught my attention. It turned out to be the most interesting item I saw in all of Old Town. Of course, John was able to share with me every detail about the artist, their processes, the materials, the context. He even went so far as to compare and contrast it with other similar works he had in his store. We had not gone to Old Town with the intention of purchasing a large artwork so we eventually moved on, but that piece of art made an impression on us and we found we were talking about it that evening and the next morning. It really resonated with both of us. Long story short, I made a couple of emails and then a few phone calls to John over the next few days. I asked all sorts of questions, including some relatively technical, and John took all the time needed to address my every concern and curiosity. If he didn't know the answer in the moment, he would plainly say so, and he would find the answer and get back to me. Negotiating a price could not have been easier, or fairer. In fact, I think John gave us a little too good of a deal, but he should consider it a long term investment because we will absolutely be visiting his store whenever in Scottsdale. It'll be our first stop. John handled the oversized shipping expertly. As a former preparator and installer of museum-grade fine art, I can tell you this man knows what he is doing and I would trust him without hesitation to ship anything. In fact I will go so far as to say I just trust him, period. John strikes me as a good man who is passionate about his products and customers. I sincerely look forward to not only our next visit to Scottsdale, but to developing a lasting relationship. We feel like we have our own personal inside art connection in Scottsdale with John.

    I just happened to go into this shop, looking to replace a cross that I had lost, and I found this piece that he had custom made. Additionally, I had a mother's necklace that I wanted to change up and he customized it exactly as I described. I asked to have everything shipped to my home in Boston and it arrived very quickly. Customer service was out of sight and I have not taken off my necklaces since I received them - highly recommend Zaman's Collections!

    Beautiful silver moonstone ring. Purchased from Zaman's Collection,  Scottsdale, February 2024.

    I love this Moonstone ring purchased from John at Zaman's Collection in Scottsdale. I don't normally leave reviews, but was so pleased with this that I literally had to set up an account just so I could leave a review. The photo doesn't do it justice as the colors sparkle all through the stone and the silver is really high quality. John was great to work with. Gave me a fair price for a beautiful custom-made ring. It reminds me of a mood ring. Visited from Spokane, WA.

    This is my 4th year coming back to old town Scottsdale, I love coming back to see John with his passionate style and great prices . I love my new turquoise ring , I appreciate you sized it the same day I purchased it. Thank you and see you next year.

    Took us for a ride Interesting how you start in a random store and all the rest you go to the same item is half as much. An item was listed at $595 but it was 70% off, so we thought we got it for a steal. It was exactly what we were looking for, we were happy with the purchase, and went on our way. We would have rated the experience higher, if at the next store (and all proceeding) the same item was listed at $125 with 50% sales. Same quality, but different colors. Now we feel duped. The salesman was passionate, albeit quite aggressive and pushy. His story on some of his pieces changed as the conversation went on. He wanted to make the sale so he "could go home." After reading others' reviews after posting my comment, I've noticed he's been "closing up shop" since 2012. I'll make sure to never recommend this place to others. Update: The business owner has reached out to me three times now and is argumentative and appears very angry. I'd like to lower my review to a one-star because I'm getting sick and tired on his excuses but I can't blame him for wanting money or appearing disparate after reopening after the pandemic, so that extra star is a sympathy star . If you don't want bad reviews, treat people better. It's not difficult.

    From Amazon

    BUYER BEWARE! Wish I had read the reviews here first. Saw a cute little silver necklace of a cactus and thought "What a great reminder of my trip to Phoenix". Now it is a reminder of how I got RIPPED OFF in Phoenix. I fell for "I made it, it's sterling silver with a white gold on top so it will never tarnish. The tiny stones are emeralds very hard to place individually. I'll discount it to $80 ($117 CAN) and I'll eat the tax." ...It's a knock off Pandora charm from Amazon.com that sells for $15.99. FML Such a disappointment. It must be so tiring to be that deceitful all day long. Shame on you John.

    Gorgeous ring in silver, one of my favorite pieces.

    Got a beautiful pendant and a choker. The price is reasonable. The owner is very friendly. I will definitely go back with my husband.
