Pinky Jewelry

If I need to try on something, I will ask and do it myself. Please do not try to clip things on my hair without asking me.

This place is basically the local equivalent to Claire’s local big sister. The mall chain store with cheap jewelry for teens, I mean. This place has a larger selection and seems to be of better quality, but has the same sort of variety of jewelery and accessories. There’s also a good mix of styles that are more mature but also a bit of stuff that still appeals to the younger teen and tween set as well.
They’re currently running a BOGO 50% sale– unfortunately it’s only for «small items» which the signage does not specify. I purchased a knit ear warmer and thought I could get a pack of workout headbands for free– unfortunately I was not able to do so. After leaving, I wondered if the headband pack purchase ($ 4) qualified as a small purchase (probably did, given that signage was above it) and I should have been told to pick an additional free jewelry item– unfortunately the cashier did not make any mention of this to me. Minus a star for that.
Store is clean, well-​lit, and organized, and employee was really good about working with a couple to select an item that needed to be taken out of packaging to try on– I wasn’t paying too much attention to see what it was, but they talked to her a few times and also went up to the front counter to make their choice.

I love it here! I come in with my daughter to look a the sparkly jewelry every once in a while. And because its inexpensive, I can get her a fun necklace or a ring. Fun daddy-​daughter date!

Great selection of fun jewelry. You can find trendy jewelry and classic looking pieces. I also buy a lot of hair clips there. The prices are super reasonable. Just plan to spend some time in there because there is a lot of merchandise to see.

I’m a big fan of customer service but in this scenario the only thing I wanted was for the lady to let me be. I went in looking for rings and although they had a large selection I was very disappointed by the prices they were charging for very low quality jewelry.
The women working would NOT let me shop and look around, she kept bugging me and showed me a million things that I clearly was not interested in. It was close to the time they closed and she kept hinting that to me and was almost rushing me. I eventually got so annoyed that I bought the ring I had originally picked out and left. If she hadn’t been bugging me I probably would have bought more.
The biggest disappointment is that I wore the ring not even for a day before it wore and turned a totally different color. If the store were cheaper or the jewelry was better quality for those prices I’d probably go back (minus the annoying sales associate) but I could honestly go to Claire’s and buy the same thing for ¼th of the price of pinkys.

I love coming here. Usually a little overwhelmed with the selections but if the owner is there then you can ask and she is happy to help.

Ooh, sparkly, shiny things! In a pink shop!
Pinky Jewelry is so much fun to browse. Dozens and dozens of necklaces. Innumerable pairs of earrings. Cute, fuzzy scarfs. Bracelets, hair clips, and pins. It’s a lot to take in, so if you’re really searching for something, carve out some time and look through their offerings carefully.
The quality appears «OK,» especially in terms of the items’ prices in relation to, say, a necklace with *real* stones, like I’d find at an art and wine festival. But you have SO much choice, and everything looks to be made with care, so it’s still worth dropping in.

Came here with my friend. She is a big fan of jewelry and she wanted to come by to buy me a «friendship» ring.
When I walked in, I noticed its like this other store called «So Good Jewelry.» Basically the same thing but different name and different owner. But It does look the same. Pink walls with jewelry (necklace, RINGS, bracelets, charms, hats, scarfs, etc.); really sparkly place.

Recently I’m been hit with a major case of magpie disorder. If it sparkles, I’m obsessed. That’s what brought me in to Pinky in the first place– you can see the costume jewelry from the other side of the street! And there is definitely a lot of fun jewelry at Pinky– even some Joan Rivers worthy faux jewels. But the truth is, it is too expensive given the poor quality. If I’m buying absurd amounts of costume jewelry, I definitely don’t want to overpay.
That said, it is a blast to walk through and try on the faux-​baubles and hats. I just wish the prices were more on point with the quality.

Got a gorgeous ring today– just beautiful/​unique. Really friendly owner. Score.

This store and its Owner are Absoulutely Terrible! DO NOT SHOP HERE UNLESS YOU WANT OVER PRICED JUNK THAT TARNISHES AFTER A WEEK AND YOU CAN’T RETURN OR EXCHANGE.
Even though reciept states (2) weeks. The sales girls English is so poor and her lack of professioanalism is even WORSE!
She refused to exchange a ring today I purchased a week ago, but would sell me another piece of crap for $ 3.00 less GEE THANKS!
She also was telling other customers about my issue, asI was leaving her store she had the audacity to accuse me of taking a necklace that she had redisplayed not 5 min. before!
How appauling, I have NEVER BEEN TREATED SO POORLY!
C’MON Burlingame YOU COULD DO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS?
p.s any one want a tarnished ring…

Ok, we all agree that Pinky’s jewels are as gorgeous as they are overpriced. Understood.
But, why has no one touched on the fascinators? And hat selection? And headbands? AND OVERSIZED HEAD FLOWERS? The flowers were so amazing that I bought three. And wore one of them out of the store. That amazing. And, at $ 15 each, I found them to be quite reasonable.
Yes, I did struggle not to pay through the nose for something sparkly to wear, but I would not discount this store based on that alone. I mean, it is on Burlingame Ave… what do you expect?
If you want something particular, they are bound to have it. Or get it for you. I spoke with the owner while trying on every fascinator in her store, and she explained to me that she’s constantly changing out her inventory. I’ve never seen such variety in such a tiny little space.
Tiny little space that I want to live in, with all it’s pink, glittery, frou frou glory.

I don’t think this place is bad, but it isn’t the cheapest either. I have to agree with all the other reviews as well, I think you can find similar stuff at Forever 21 accessory story, or even the Sterling Silver places at a cheaper price… but when you’re looking all over the place for something unique… this place may have it.
I personally walked in here today because I was looking to buy my preceptor some green earrings. I looked at Claires, Forever 21, Forever 21 accessory store, Macy’s, Nordstroms, Old Navy, H&M, and a small jewelry shop in Santana Row but it wasn’t until I walked into Pinky that I found a pair of green that were a decent price. All the other stores either did not carry green earrings or they were real gemstones which I did not have the money for on a student’s salary.
I don’t think Pinky’s is bad. Yes, I think if you’re looking for the regular common jewelry that most places have Claires and Forever 21 accessory stores have it. But if you’re looking for a unique piece, such as a black rhinestone swan ring, or pink elephant rhinestone ring, or any animal shaped ring besides Macy’s maybe carrying it, Pinky’s the only place I could find stuff like this. Plus they have a variety of different colored earrings besides just black, silver, and crystals…
Even if you don’t end up buying anything, I would definitely check out their unique variety of rings. Their selection surpasses any other store for a semi-​decent price. Also if you need jewelry boxes, ask for them even if what you’re getting isn’t a gift. They gave me the cutest zebra print box, and my friend got a leopard printed bag.

I agree with most of the reviews. yes you can find the same earrings and necklaces at Forever 21 or H&M BUT you cannot beat the ring selection…
You will NOT find these styles anywhere! I’m going to post some pictures up so you can take a look. I’d gladly pay 20+ for accessories that you can’t find at other locations.
If you’re shopping for «regular» jewelry def save money and go elsewhere.

Walked in here the other day because it looked sparkly inside. And pink. And pretty.
Immediately realized that the jewelry on display, while looking shiny from afar, are of not so great quality and not all that pretty.
Now, if they were offering these items at Forever21 or Old Navy prices, I would have probably bought a few pieces and given them 3 stars. But, their prices were like 4x Forever21 prices and that’s just not acceptable!
So, sadly, I walked out, empty handed, and disappointed that I didn’t get any blindingly sparkling bauble…

I couldn’t help but go inside as I was strolling through Burlingame Ave. Rows and rows of beautiful and trendy looking earrings, bracelets, and other accessories strung me inside. I assumed that the prices would be reasonable, if anything, only slightly overpriced from the usual places this type of jewelry is sold because of the location, but i was mistaken. The first pair of earrings I picked up were $ 4.99, but the second pair of hoops were $ 25.99!!! for earrings that tend to rust and will only last a few seasons. If they lowered their prices I’d be a regular customer.

Cheap chinese made jewelry. Worst than forever twenty-​one because this place because their stuff wasn’t even cute. A cheaply made pair of stud earrings were $ 24!!! I saw the same thing at forever twenty one for $ 3.99!!! I give this place a year if not less.

When you walk by it’s hard to avoid looking at the explosion of pink inside with all the pretty, shiny jewelry. That’s a calling for any girlie girl like me. Walls and rows of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and hair accessories filled my eyes like a kid in a candy store.
Unfortunately, I didn’t come out with a purchase because I felt the quality was mediocre and slightly overpriced for some items. Overall, it’s still worth taking a look because that’s what shopping is all about.
