The Village Jewel

The owner of Village Jewel is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and has an incredible selection of costume and fine pieces in the store. We showed up right at closing time and she was completely understanding and stayed open so we could finish shopping. Make sure you check out the case of really old pieces in the back, many dating back to the 19^th century. Prices are high but they are fair and her selection is very different and very cool.

Wonderful experience talking to the owner. I didn’t buy or sell anything, but I really appreciated the time spent with me to discuss various options for an engagement ring. (And the dog was behind a gate, adorable and laid back.) Nice shop to look for unique jewelry items and to get useful information.

A-​OK is exactly how I felt about Village Jewel. I liked that the shop owners were immediately available to me and able to give me one-​on-​one attention. I saw a couple pieces in here I am still thinking about a week later.
On the other hand, I was jumped on by a dog in this shop. I am all for animals at work, but my fiancé is not well versed in medium to bigger dogs, so being jumped on a couple times was something he was a bit unprepared for. The seller did yell at the dog, but only after a couple times.
I think maybe she and I just weren’t lining up on what I was looking for. I know I was looking for something kind of off beat and non traditional, but I feel like she was a bit annoyed when she took me to the engagement rings only to be told I was looking at non diamond rings. Like I said, it could have been in my mind, but it made me feel like maybe she didn’t get my vision and I should try somewhere else.

What a wonderful place to shop and find just the perfect piece of jewlry. It is like going back in time to be in the shop. The customer service is great.

I rarely write reviews, but i use Unilocal frequently. In this case I received such great service I decided to write. I purchased an engagement ring here. I needed significant help customizing a vintage ring for my girlfriend and at each step along the way I felt very comfortable with the both Gina and Mitchell Dustin the owners. I believe both of them are certified appraisers, and they did their best to inform me of what I was buying and even helped me choose a diamond I had to buy from NYC.
I think their pricing was very fair, and I say that in light of feeling ripped off by every other jeweler I spoke with.
I would highly recommend Village Jewel!
