Arcadian Antique Boutique — Local services in Ann Arbor

5 star products, 2 star repair service. I got my engagement ring here and love it. I brought it in about a year later to be re-shanked, as the back of the band was quite thin. They assured me their jeweler was the best in the business. However, when he performed the re-shanking, he unnecessarily removed and redid a part of the original band engraving, something my jeweler at home, who would have repaired it if I'd had the time, had specifically warned should not be done. The new engraving was much thicker and clumsier than the old engraving and was not even centered on the band. Additionally, he did not stamp the new band for its gold quality, which is required by federal law! The owner offered to have the jeweler fix it, but I didn't really want to give it back to the person who had messed it up in the first place. She would not let me pay for the repair, since I was unhappy, which was nice but unnecessary. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place for vintage engagement rings (or vintage jewelry of any kind) but would NOT use their jeweler to...

I grew up in Ann Arbor and I’ve walked by the Arcadian in nickels arcade probably over a few hundred times. I moved away in my mid twenties and when my fiancée (then boyfriend) started talking about getting engaged, I knew my ring had to come from the Arcadian. The experience did not disappoint. Even though the shop was busy when we went in, we were still acknowledged and felt comfortable. The store is filled with beautiful pieces of jewelry, glassware, accessories and more that are all historic and unique. We found a beautiful 1920s Art Deco engagement and wedding band set that was very reasonably priced and one of a kind. Because of the fact that we live out of town, the staff made sure they could get my ring sized the next day so that we could share our good news with our families in time for the holidays, they truly went above and beyond our expectations. Bailey was extremely helpful and sweet and patient. I am happy to reccomend the Arcadian to anyone looking for a special gift, no matter the occasion. You’re guaranteed to have a...

We found Arcadian Antiques while searching for a wedding band to go with my antique engagement ring. Unsatisfied with the local selection, we came up to Ann Arbor to Toledo based on an e-mail from Arcadian that said, in response to whether they had wedding band choices, "tons - come see us." We couldn't have been happier. Not only did we find two bands to go with my ring in one location, at the downtown location, we met with the owner who helped me work out my vision to perfect my engagement ring that I already loved. It took them less than a week to customize my rings! And now, on my finger, I have my perfect ring that I will cherish for the rest of my life! Honest, reasonably priced, quick and creative - I recommend the Arcadian to anyone looking to purchase the perfect piece of jewelry or looking to...
