Four Directions

It’s a really cool place for buy inexpensive stone, rock, .and gem pre-​made jewelry. This store has an abundance of charm, color, and variety for both the aspiring and establish jewelry artist to manifest dazzling adornments and accessories as finishing touches to any outfit.
I’m in love with my white agate sliced earrings that I found while looking around. They were a treasure and a steal I could not pass on for $ 12 a pair!!!
I wonder, if I can shop online and if they ship in and out of State? I will follow up and post what I learned as a tip.

I love the items from this store and really glad I dont live in the area as I would be broke. Very beautiful gems & jewelry but generally high in price — although I dont think you would find the quality of their items somewhere else for a lower price.
The reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 5 is that the staff was not very friendly when we were there. They helped us when we asked them but I felt that they didnt want to & would have rather been doing something else.

Love the store! I went there for so many times and bought a lot of jewelries from them! Fabulous!

The ladies that work here are very rude and entitled. The worst energy I’ve ever experienced. Don’t buy from these angry, rude woman. VERY OVERPRICED!

Very pretty jewelry — I always take visitors to Ann Arbor here, as it’s such a neat store, even if you don’t buy anything.

They sell dinosaur eggs! … for hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
I didn’t have much interest in actually purchasing anything in here but it was sure cool browsing.
Quite the assortment of geological gifts, jewelry and trinkets live in this store. And from all over the world. Besides the eggs, there were other fossils, rocks, globes, and a few handmade items as well.
A lot of items were way out of my price range but many of the smaller pieces of jewelry and other knick-​knacks were priced under $ 20 and would make great birthday or just-​because gifts.
A quirky addition to Ann Arbor — and my brief trip!

Really cool place for small, whimsical gifts.
Personally, this is the only place that sells decent Sandalwood and Rose soap. Their jewelry and home items are pretty interesting, too. If you have an hour to kill, or are trying to show friends and family a bit of downtown, this is the perfect place to go, for people of all ages and various interest. Most of the staff are volunteers, and are super friendly and helpful to answer your questions as best as possible.
One of the best things about the spot is that the majority, if not all, of the items are free-​trade. As other Unilocalers have pointed out, you absolutely can find similar items online at other vendors for half-​price. But in my opinion, too many Ann Arbor businesses are being replaced with corporate giants. So instead of *still* lamenting about the loss of Shaman Drum, log off Ebay and walk that Starbucks Venti right in.

Well being a part of the downtown Ann Arbor atmosphere really makes this place stand out! It carries a menagarie of items from all over the world and their prices are not too bad either!
We were spending a leisurely Sunday afternoon in town and just happened to drop in and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They were eager to help us and there were many different items to choose from. They had alot of jewelry and amber with quirky items that you won’t find other places.
They had alot of neat little items that you won’t find in other places. Such as the hair clips and polished rocks, gems, stones, and many other interesting items. The prices are a bit high… OK more than a bit high, but it’s still fun to drop in and look around. It gives you the «flavor» of the college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan! It’s a great spot to be for anyone in the area; living here or otherwise…

Great selection, friendly and informative staff. I go into this store regularly to get my stone fix and I am always happy with my experience.

Came in here on a whim today, very cool gallery. All of their stuff is based around gems or stones which I thought was really cool. Selection ranges from some very nice gem bracelets ($ 5 – 20) and rings to full quartz rocks. They also have some cool fossil related items for sale as well. Good spot to check out for anyone looking for something a bit more natural.
To any other guys reading this: obviously since this is a jewelry gallery, the selection is weighted a bit towards women but their selection for guys was pretty good, definitely worth a look.

NATURAL GEMS AROUND THE WORLD
They’re moving soon, so be on the lookout for their new location closer to the heart of downtown than the less-​noticeable edge.
If you want pearls, amber, moldavite, amethyst, geodes, book ends, and anything made out of natural gems, there is a full selection here.
Sure, you can find similar stuff on eBay at cheaper prices, and I have, but this is a nice local place that has a vast selection with some pretty pieces.
Granted, I would inspect each item closely, as I had found that a paire of mabe pearl and amethyst earrings that looked nice through the case, had obvious glue on the back that turned me off to buying. Granted, each piece of jewelry comes from somewhere else and are crafted by different people, etc. so one item that isn’t great does not mean they all are no good.
I’ve gotten some nice things from there, but each piece needs careful inspection for quality for what you’re paying for it. Some items are just too downright pricey for me, since I am a bargain shopper and can buy similar things on ShopNBC, eBay and HSN for less with similar craftsmanship.
HIGHLIGHTS
I’d say the highlights of their selection are:
everyday casual pearls– all styles & colors
marcasite (when they have it in-​stock)
hammered silver and silver pieces
amber– all colors/​styles and price points
They also have some loose stones of interest to collectors and whatnot. If you’re in the market for natural gems in rough, raw and hand-​crafted jewelry forms, this is the local place to see. Check it out for yourself, it is worth a browse.

I fell in love with this place when I discovered they sell hair clips from Korea.
For those of you who don’t know why hair clips from Korea are so special, let me enlighten you, they are highly sought out in all of Asia, are well made, and are as sparkly as you can get without being trashy. I always get compliments when I wear them. The prices are great, same price for the clips as in Cambodia and much less than the going Japanese rate! Only problem they don’t carry many of these clips. They also carry clips from France that are beautiful but out of my price range.
The jewelry is also cool, ranges from inexpensive to moderate. I got a pair of nice eight dollar earrings, can’t beat that! The owner is really nice and helpful.

I just don’t like this gallery, and I don’t know why. I think maybe it’s not really authentic or tasteful or imaginative or something.
