I have bought 2 rings from there, and I have never had a problem. They tell you no refunds and no exchanges before you buy. I did just buy something and after about walking around for about 20 minutes I went to exchange it and she did. They are very nice, have good prices. Love my rings

They are super friendly when you are purchasing and give you the impression they guarantee everything but luckiky I had read these reviews a day after making our ring purchases and we both decided we needed a smaller size so when we took them back the very next morning I made sure to place both rings in a bag in my purse. The associate called her manager and the very first question they asked was if we had walked in wearing the rings! It had been less than 24 hrs since purchase and they obviously try to use the trick of you «wearing» the merchandise. Any decent jewelry store guarantees their product and is always willing to offer a store credit. The do have beautiful unique merchandise.

Do NOT shop at this company. It’s a total scam!
My fiancé and I ordered and payed for wedding bands in mid October. We were initially told it would be about 4 weeks to get the rings and were later told it could take 8 to 10 weeks. That should have been the sign to walk away. After 7 & ½ weeks I called to check the status of our order and was told that the rings were never ordered and that they cut all ties with that vendor. 5 weeks until the wedding and thanks to them no rings. The sales person told us we could either order rings that were almost identical to the ones we originally ordered but it would cost almost three times as much, or get our money back. At this point we just wanted to get our money and go someplace else to purchase the rings. I was told they couldn’t credit my card and that they would send a check out that day or the next day at the latest. I sent an e-​mail requesting that the owner of the company call me, I never heard back. After a week and a half I still had not received my check. I then called the CEO and spoke with his assistant. I was told that my message would be forwarded to him immediately and expected a call. A few days later when I called back the CEO’s assistant hung up on me.
We finally got our money back and are now rushing to get rings before the wedding. Do not shop here!

I wish I had checked Unilocal before we bought here. A boutique jewelry store in Seaport Village carrying jewelry that sells for thousands of dollars did not appear to us to be a risk. But we learned only after our purchase that after you walk out of the store, you have no guarantee that even full price merchandise brought back within 30 days in original condition will be accepted for exchange.
My husband and I bought five items after spending an hour in the store with a very friendly saleswoman. One set of gold and yellow diamond stud earrings I loved, but I wasn’t sure they would match my other jewelry, and it was late, so it was difficult to judge the color when I tried the earrings on. Our saleswoman said we had 30 days to exchange if I wanted another color.
In the daylight the next day I saw that the color was not right. I was on jury duty and working, so I could not go back to the store for a week or so, but the day I got off jury duty my husband and I came back to exchange the earrings.
I assumed I would go in and come out with another color earrings within a few minutes, as I remembered the other earrings we had looked at the other night. I was even willing to spend a little more money to get what I wanted. But the saleswoman this day says they have «policies and procedures.» She asked me if I had worn the earrings out of the store, and I didn’t remember, not understanding what difference that made. She said that if I had, they could not take them back. Huh? Then she said our saleswoman should have marked the receipt «final sale» if I had, which it was not. But she continued to ask me repeatedly if I had worn them out of the store.
The receipt says, «No refunds. In-​store credit only. Receipt required for exchanges within 30 days.» What I didn’t see when the saleswoman handed us our receipt at 10:00 at night, nor did she advise at the time of purchase, was the fine print at the bottom: «Exchanged merchandise must be in new condition and is accepted solely at the discretion of the company.» Who stops and reads the fine print at the bottom of a receipt as you are leaving a fine jewelry store after you’ve paid and thanked the salesperson who has just spent an hour with you, in case she hasn’t told you everything?
These are not cheap earrings from Claire’s. A pair of 14 kt gold /​diamond stud earrings worn once, that need no more cleaning than a pair that had been tried on in the store would seem to me to be new condition. But the saleslady using her lupe to inspect them says there is a bit of hair in the setting indicating that they are «used.» Really? I told her I hadn’t expected a hassle about this and asked when our original saleswoman would be back so that I could deal with her. She said she didn’t know but it would make no difference. (And we later saw that the «hair» was a piece of fuzz from the bedding of the box.)
By now I was upset, and left the store while my husband attempted to resolve things. But getting nowhere with her as well, he asked her to call a manager — who told her we had to come back in the morning when a manager was there to see «if» we could exchange. When we are at work, and with no reason to think it might not be another wasted trip?
I had a receipt. I asked to exchange for a different color, not my money back. It was well within the 30 days. The saleswoman, when we were purchasing the jewelry, stated that full price merchandise had a 30 day exchange window. But the store would not honor this.
If you walk out of the store with anything, it is apparently a final sale, whether you paid full price or not, at the «discretion» of another salesperson who is not making a commission off of you.
What a terrible experience. After all this my husband left his parking ticket in the store and we were so upset we paid the $ 8 to leave the lot rather than go back for it. The only reason I give it two stars is that the original experience was good, and I really liked their jewelry. Had they been customer friendly after purchase, this could have been a four or five star review.

This small store has unique jewelry in the materials used, including koa wood, titanium, tungsten, and myriad colors of sapphires. The prices are surprisingly good on some things and within expectations on gemstone items. The staff is friendly, welcoming, informative and seems to thoroughly enjoy their store.
