My boyfriend and I were shopping for a male friend to find stud earrings for Christmas. The employee that helped us was extremely knowledgeable in the product, offered plenty of options, and worked quickly with us. She was also polite, listened to what we wanted, and pulled about ten different earrings out. I highly recommend buying your jewelry at piercing pagoda, because they aren’t trying to necessarily sell you an item rather than help you find what you’re looking for easily.
