Amazing experience here, we were greeted with a smile and a well kept shop. A large tank in the middle held the oysters (you pick, $20 for just the pearl) we selected an oyster and were pleasantly surprised by what the woman said was one of the largest she has seen there. We chose a nice ring to have it set in as a Christmas gift late this year, in all $98 dollars, well worth the stop and will visit again if in the area.

She shucked the oyster for us and inside was a BEAUTIFUL 7.5mm pink pearl!... read more

In the morning, I picked an oyster and found a beautiful purple pearl. However, the boss... read more

We were significantly dissatisfied with the service quality. We ordered the "pick-your-own-oyster" and got a 6mm black oyster. During the installation process, we got into an argument over concern on handling of the pearl. The service staff could not de-escalate the situation and we left infuriated. Failure to de-escalate and put customers at ease is a critical mistake especially for jewellery; it is advised to avoid. We were provided a refund, but it came with additional argument...
