My experience with Baraka Gems was fantastic! I was a bit nervous about finding a trustworthy source which could help me in identifying, sorting, and selling some jewelry. Without a doubt, Baraka was the best choice I could have made. Jamie was extremely helpful through the process, explaining everything along the way, and even provided me with resources for the items they couldn't take. I am happy to have found a gem of a resource in my community, and will most certainly be a returning customer.
We had a custom engagement ring made at Baraka. The process was fun, easy, and we were very happy with our choice of jeweler. We worked with designer Taylor, who put us both at ease with her humor and warmth.

I had the pleasure of working with Jamie at Baraka Gems and it was an exceptional experience. Jamie brings a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for antique jewelry, along with an inspiring story of his work with non-profits in Africa. During our appointment, Jamie was not only attentive and kind but also made the process of selling our sentimental pieces easy and comfortable. We received top dollar for our items and also explored exciting options for recreating some of our jewels into new pieces. The atmosphere at h... read more
My experience selling my ring here at Baraka Gems was absolutely wonderful. Firstly, the store was so intentionally decorated which demonstrates the valued care and intention the business has. This was apparent in my interactions with the owner Jamie who was thorough in walking me through the process of understanding the offer on my ring. Highly recommend this local jewelry store!!
I was on the hunt for a place to purchase some of my items from a late grandmother. I had some very unique pieces that I wanted to go to a great home to be repurposed. I went ahead and reached out to Jamie here at Baraka Gems and he was so helpful. We set up an appointment to come in last Saturday 1/18 and it was a smooth experience. I was able to ask questions, felt comfortable, and Jamie was very informational. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things vintage, fine, and unique pieces. I am looking forward to more mee... read more
