Very small and cute place. Staff was friendly. I went in to have an appraisal done. They start out at $150. The only down fall that I didn't like about the appraisal is they don't give you anything stating what you dropped off or any type ticket to pick up the item. What if you have 3 John Smith with a heart necklace what's to say someone took the wrong item as they didn't have a ticket number or something. Maybe I'm over thinking it but still lots of people can't be trusted to say that the wrong item. Or what it they were robbed you have nothing to show that you dropped something off to be appraisal.

I wanted to buy sweet sixteen ring for my granddaughter for her birthday. I wandered into this store and discovered a hidden treasure on earth. The atmosphere is calm, quiet and beautiful. I found a beautiful ring which I put on layaway. Each time I made a payment I was waited on by Sue who is friendly and professional and an asset to the business. I cannot say enough good things about the shop. Next time I need a ring I will go there.

Great family owned jeweler! Kristi and her staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. My son's fiance didn't want the traditional diamond engagement ring. He was able to order a wedding set and Farmer's was able to get sapphires for him to pick from. This was all done in less than a week and his fiance LOVES her ring! Great customer service and impeccable quality!
