I heard about this shop from a friend while visiting. Suffice to say, I was totally shocked to find such qualifications. Graduate gemologists, Accredited Jewelry professional, and a CGA!
Not pushy which was a plus, however very helpful.

The shop is run by the father and his son. They definitely know what they're talking about.

After i returned to the states, I had the ring appraised (they also offer appraisals) and it was
appraised for double what I bought it for. Our jeweler said it was a terrific price!

This place is a must for anyone looking to buy lovely jewelry at incredible rates.
They were very kind and knowledgeable throughout, even offered to clean my wife's engagement ring!
