Lilly Barrack

I have been here a couple of times… Never saw anything I liked here but seems like they have a lot of jewelry. They also have some home stuff that is cute… The jewelry is definitely pricey… Not somewhere for just cheap stuff… and an ok mix of styles. Most I feel is really flashy big kinda stuff.
I just get this feeling the people working there are like kinda pushy or like staring you down to See if you are gonna buy something… Or they seem kinda fakey I dunno… I just get this vibe from the people there like the are watching my every move until I buy something… And overly trying-​to-​hard friendly? I guess I just like my distance when I browse places. Maybe it’s just me…

Likes: Great high-​end gifts from all sorts of other designers. I love the candles they have in there. The name escapes me, but they were featured in Cosmo, and are AMAZING. All the Lilly Barack stores smell like them. They also have all sorts of other unique gifts that are not jewelry such as vases, etc. I also love that each piece of LB jewelry is unique, and all the stones are hand picked. She’s a great designer.
Dislikes: Almost all of their rings are adjustable. Granted they’re not like the vending machine rings that adjust on the bottom. The adjustable component is built into the design, but it’s still not very comfortable, and I find it a bit tacky for as awesome as the rings look. Second of all, the rings are REALLY expensive. They’re carried in Bloomingdales when I can see them fitting in, but a little pricy for plain old North East Heights in ABQ…

In all the time that I worked at the Paseo Flying Star, I somehow never got around to visiting Lilly Barrack… so I finally made a trip over there to suss out the goods.
I have to say, even though there were a lot of customers roaming around the store, the customer service was outstanding. I was greeted upon entering, and the minute I began to look for the price on a piece of jewelry, I was offered help. The salespeople were all very friendly and complimentary. When my too-​short thumbnail proved unable to work the clasp on a necklace, one of the associates did it for me.
I had always imagined that Lilly Barrack would be a little too expensive for me, but I was pleased to find that they have very reasonable prices on high-​quality merchandise. I was thrilled to find a beautiful necklace that was affordable even to a starving college student. :)
After the great experience I had with Lilly Barrack, I know I will definitely be back to pick up goodies for the holidays.
