Antiques & Jewels — Attraction in Athens-Clarke County Unified Government

Stopped by looking for nice vintage jewelry and this was the place! Karen was a lovely lady to help us find what we were looking for. My only complaint would be that the jewelry was not the condition she stated. She claimed she looked over all of her jewelry, and on my specific piece there was absolutely no wear and tear, only to walk outside in better light to see the clear wear and tear. In between the chain links there was black dirt that i could just wipe off, leading me to make the assumption that she does not clean her jewelry.

I couldn't be happier with my visits to this amazing shop, and feel so welcome to the new town which we now call home, thanks to Ms Karen. I will be a...

What a special place! Karen is incredible and showed us around, telling us details and stories about all of her amazing pieces. Anything I was interested in, she took out of the case and let me try, and knew the background of everything. A vintage bloodstone signet ring caught my eye, so two days later I went back for it, and she even stayed late so I could come get it. I couldn’t be more happy with my ring or with my experience here. Plus, she is enforcing masks and requiring proof of vaccination, so I felt very safe shopping. Thank...
