This is an overdue review of the great experience my fiance and I had shopping for rings at Solovey! Stacey, the owner, was extremely friendly and helpful over our several visits to the store. She also didn't bat an eye at our modest budget and still managed to present a lot of options to us. In the end, she got her goldsmith to add a stone to an existing band for my engagement ring, and I got a lovely engraved wedding band at the same time. Highly recommend Solovey for their great vintage selection and customer service.

Extremely rude from the moment she answered the phone. She really made me feel like I was a nuisance by the way she told me they normally close at 5, but she was leaving at 2, and that I should make an appointment for the next day. I went to the competition down the street, spent $3k on beautiful ring, and was treated like royalty!

Trekked here out of my way about took me an hour to get here, during supposed opening hours only to find a closed metal awning, a store person peering through to make sure no one was coming in and the lights off. Was looking forward to shopping here and am very annoyed that they had decided to all of the sudden change their stated store hours out of the blue and close up. This is very unprofessional and rude to all of the sudden close a place without any notice and they have lost my valuable business as a result.

I went in to pick out an engagement ring because I really wanted something vintage and a my moms friend suggested Solovey. Awesome selection of rings, settings, and loose stones. Stacy was extremely helpful without being pushy at all. The prices were reasonable and she advised me on hardness and profile and all different types of options. Really great experience.
