5 /5 Charlene Dachelet: I much prefer to support local businesses, but dont want to spend good money on unwarranted stuff. My daughters and I were vacationing in the area and found this store. We came in, and I saw a couple things which caught my eye, but those items were each $100+. I didnt think the prices were unwarranted, but for a souvenir, it was more than I wanted to spend. BUT... When I was looking over the things I was interested in, Mr. Turpin was so helpful with information. He let me see how the ring looked in natural sunlight too. Then I told him I wanted to think it over before deciding, but it would be several days.
Long story short, I came back several days later and really took my time to see if the item I was looking at was still the one I really wanted. It was.
I ended up buying a beautiful color-changing sapphire ring which Ive worn nearly every day since I bought it. The gem is blue, reddish, or purple-ish, depending on the light. Im a very happy customer. Thank you, Mr. Turpin!
Oh, he also helps stray cats in the area.
