Alchimia

Pretty things. Small store. Some very original pieces. Some classic pieces done right with good quality materials. Know what you want before you come in. If you’re looking for the artist specific bangles and necklaces they have them in many colors here. And they’re all gorgeous. Service wasn’t the best and neither were the prices.

I stopped in last night to take another look at the stunning pieces here. The sales associate greeted me & let me do my thing. Props for that.
I found a gorgeous initial necklace. Only my initial was in antique silver, & I wanted gold.
No problem.
The sales associate (I wish I got her name) told me that she could call the sister store around the corner (Mashka) & see if they had one in gold for me.
A couple minutes later she informs me that the designer is at Mashka, & can have one made for me in less than a half hour.
What?! I said there was no rush, & I could easily come by another day for it. She assured me it was not a problem. I asked my man if we should wait or come back, & he said «why not wait?»
So we made the walk that is a whole block & a half away to Mashka. Now the sales associate here greeted us w a warm smile. I let her know we just came from the Columbus shop, & she tells me the necklace will be ready in a few minutes.
Done & done.
First rate service. Front door service. And the sales associate was a doll.
Gorgeous pieces that are modern & unique. And everything is made by one designer.
5 stars.

I was shopping for a gift and saw the sign for handmade jewelry. Unfortunately I encountered an extremely rude saleswoman and her prickly personality turned me off right away. The shop may have some lovely merchandise but no one will see it if the woman who works there scares the customers off. Based solely on the customer service experience I would give less than 1 star if I could, it was that bad.
