Korsten A M Jewellers Inc — Attraction in Orangeville

Thank you to the owners of Korsten Jewelry Store, Christine and Paul, for the amazing experience at your beautiful store which is now my favourite store! The owners are so welcoming, lovely, knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. I coined Christine, my Jewelry Guru! Their prices are very fair and I love the selection that they carry. They also replenish their stock when it sells out. My husband has always shopped with them and I have loved everything over the years! Today I took my Valentine’s present in, a beautiful birthstone ring, to get sized. I actually have never been in and I’m so glad that I went in today! I ended up getting a pair of beautiful Akoya pearl earrings and an Akoya pearl necklace. I started my wish list as well. I look forward to shopping with the lovely couple again!

Update: could not stop thinking about a set of drop Pearl earrings that Christine showed me last week so I picked up the set today. Love them so much and wore them out of the store. Thank you...

BEWARE! AVOID! I had the unpleasant experience of dealing with Mr. Kosten a year and a half ago.

I bought a Valentine's ring from his wife. She explained the 'no return" policy. ( If an item is rtturned with bill - even after only a day as in my case- they charge a quite hefty 'restocking fee'

. I had to return the ring a day later. I asked for a little leniency on the policy from Mrs.K. She was polite and sympathetic and referred me to her husband who was anything but. He appeared from the back of the shop, barely looked at me and coldly stated company policy and then walked away. Rude, cold and several hundred $ richer. Works for him! I would NEVER deal with the man again and advise against doing so for any readers of these reviews

BTW. Within a year I married the woman to whom I gave the Valentine ring that I had to return. Needless to say, I bought both engagement and wedding rings at another establishment! What goes around,...

Staff/owners was not helpful, extremely hostile and would not take the time to engage with the customer, (came in for a simple resizing job) they don’t have the experience in higher karat gold and told me my jewelry is plated and is not real because it had no stamp on it, they did not even test it, even after I asked them to show me how they came up with that conclusion, (most of my jewelry is custom and I personally request not to have it stamped during manufacturing) I do have all the certificates including the X-ray scan documents that I witnessed being done. I would not recommend this store for gold repairs above 10 karat gold. But I understand they are really good at watch battery...
