Silver Bonsai Gallery — Attraction in Roanoke Island

6 Years ago now, I decided to propose to my wife. The thing is, she's also a jeweler. How do you find jewelry for a jeweler? Well it's all about craftsmanship.

Half of their store is costume jewelry, so I found this to be incredibly rude. Secondly, all they had to do was take pliers and remove the excess links. This store is pretentious, and would rather turn away new customers rather than being willing to help like any other...
