Great place really nice people!!!!!
So much fun. Staff was very friendly.
RecommendedGreat place! Went there several times while my daughter attended college there. Very family oriented and friendly. Made you feel like you were one of their own. Had stones cut every time. I think the largest stone was a 13k garnet (not sure of weight). Emerald cut about the size of my thumb nail. Lots of little stones cut too. Have to go back at least once more for another stone to add to my collection and then get a locket to put them in!
My kids look forward to seeing Doc each year. He is absolutely a wonderful person to have the privilege of meeting
