Sparklez Jewelry & Loan — Attraction in Mt. Lebanon

My fiancé and I had been searching for wedding bands for what felt like months. We had different opinions on the amount of bling we wanted - I’m very plain and simple, and he wanted a little more (for lack of a better word-) sparkle.

I drove past this store at least twice a day - to and from work - (to show you that A) they’re a local small business and B) they’re easy to find) - and decided one day to go in.

It was then I realized that the reason that we couldn’t find the perfect rings is because we hadn’t yet seen them.

Sparkles specializes in antique, vintage, and estate jewelry, and if what you’re looking for isn’t there, they know a network of other jewelry vendors who might be able to find exactly what you need. Luckily I saw a ring on my first visit that I just couldn’t get out of my head. And to my fiancé’s pleasant surprise, it was very much more “blingy” than what he ever thought I’d agree to. (I think the reason I avoided it before is because other big name jewelers men’s rings were so cookie cutter, and the stones set in them seemed to be there only for the sake of impressing people...but the men’s rings here, being almost one of a kind, integrated the stones into the design in a way that seemed more understated and less pretentious...so much more care and personality in each item.)

On my first visit I spoke with Keith, who was so informative and didn’t make me feel pushed into buying anything. I learned they offer zero per cent credit simply because they’d rather you buy the exact ring you want and not waste money on financing.

I came back with my fiancé, met Keith, spotted the perfect ring for my fiancé (almost immediately - that’s how the jewelry there speaks to people), and purchased them, all while having a wonderful conversation with his co-workers/employees.

If you’ve been looking for the perfect ring, or any other type of jewelry, and you want it to be unique and not like anything you’ve seen at a big name jeweler, go here. In addition, if you want to support a local business that staffs itself with caring, compassionate people, you need to come here. I look forward to coming back in the future for any other jewelry purchases we’d ever...

I strongly recommend you don’t shop here if you want to be treated with respect. Absolutely terrible customer service. I called to inquire about selling an engagement ring and the lady who answered the phone stated “Well, it has to be real, we don’t buy costume jewelry.” I responded that it was real. I asked for her to tell me the process, and she stated I needed a drivers license. I asked her if there was anything else I needed, and how long it would take. She snapped back and said “Well you can’t come in tonight; you’ll have to come in tomorrow or Saturday.” I responded back by telling her I was aware of their hours and I was not coming in tonight. She then stated “I’m not taking this” and proceeded to hand the phone to another associate and did not relay what the phone call was about. I will not be shopping at this business or selling any...

Sparklez Jewelry that's an absolute one-of-a-kind collection of beautiful assortment of jewelry. The staff and owner are Beyond wonderful, wonderful is honestly downplaying how amazing the store is in the collection that they have. If I had my choice I would only shop there.
