ZA FLASHH The ladies working are nothing but rude

Kat M I have been to this unique gift store a handful of times. I have purchased gems, incense and burners, scented soaps and bath bombs, jewelry and bamboo socks (to name a few). I recently went to find a gift for a hard to shop for niece. I bought her a kitchen cooking torch/flame and she loved it! I would never have thought of it but knew they had a fun kitchen section. They clearly strive to carry unique items not found in box stores. I am going to buy myself a rain chain next time. Also, the wands they offer are harry potter type, not made for children to play. Adults like them too. Also feels Great to support a local, unique family owned business.

Darling Miranda I had a wonderful experience at Alpha & Omega jewelry shop. Cynthia was incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable throughout my visit. She made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The owner also took the time to explain everything clearly and answer all of my questions without rushing. Their professionalism and dedication to customer service truly stood out. I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for quality pieces and outstanding support.

Musab Adam Moe and his mother were very sweet and showed me and my wife multiple items we were looking for then came Hamza from the back that adjusted the bracket I got for my wife and the bracket I got for myself. They got us a gift to take home. The hospitality was 1000/10 the Palestinian way. Please shop here for anything you need from watches, rings, bracelets for men and women. Fellas get something for the ladies in your life.

Alicia LP The staff and management of Matthew Erickson Jewelers are like no other jewelers Ive ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Not only do they have beautiful traditional and unique jewelry for any occasion (including treating yourself), but they also do high quality repairs. Ive bought at other jewelers before but Ive never been so educated on the quality, care and upkeep of pieces. I highly recommend!

Alyssa One of the BEST jewelers around! John, the owner, is self employed and the one and only person I trust with my fine jewelry. He’s been in business for many many years and I will never take my jewelry or watches to anyone else. He is only there a few days a week, so sometimes it can take awhile to get things back because he is the only one working there. But I promise it is worth the wait. He does have some inventory in the store but not a whole lot, so don’t expect to be totally wowed by that when you walk in (he does mostly watch work and jewelry repairs). But some of the inventory he does have is very nice and reasonably priced! On top of that, he’s just an all around great guy! So give him a try and support a small business owner, you won’t regret it!

Richard Herndon This is the only jewelry store I patronize in Springfield. I’ve been doing business with them for probably about 15 years both buying, and selling. they have an attractive selection of new and estate jewelry, and I trust their owners to accurately assess the quality of diamonds and other gemstones. The owners and staff maintain a professional, yet friendly relationship with their customers, and I feel very comfortable dealing with them.

LN Wolford Great local ladies that provide boutique experience to a small community! Love the local merchandise too!

Rob Madderom Been a customer of Distinctive Gold for a long time. The owners and staff are great, always making sure their customers are pleased. I would trust them for any jewelry purchase or repair. They are not just a jewelry store, they are a great family owned local business.

j scott Parish jewelers clean and enlarged the size of two diamond rings that I had not worn for years. They sparkle better than I ever remember and fit absolutely perfect. Thank you Parrish Jewelers for making my rings fit again!
