Best experience ever. I brought my family into this beautiful shop with a little time to kill before a graduation party. I found the most beautiful aquamarine ring (my birthstone). Tried it on, loved it, put it back, and left. (I don’t know why either). This is where Olas, the hero of the story steps in. I am from Minnesota, driving back to Minnesota and I keep thinking about this ring. I messaged the store at 6 am. I told them I can’t stop thinking about this ring… I think I really would love to have it if it’s in the cards. Olas responds 20 minutes later and was on a mission and found it for me. I will look at this ring and think of this sweet shop and Olas always :) it is a must stop

Such an inviting place to browse through. It can be easy to find a range of unique gifts, what’s hard is making the final choice :) Staff are super friendly and knowledgable, they’re so welcoming and helpful.
