Bluffton Jewel Box — Local services in Bluffton

Happy Anniversary! Just had the weirdest shopping experience of my whole life. We're celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary today and traveled from NE GA mountains to Hilton Head earlier this week for our anniversary trip. Hubby wanted to take me to Captain Woodys for lunch and shopping in Bluffton. Wonderful lunch, great pottery purchases, celebration cigar and then a trip to The Jewel Box to see if anything suited my fancy! Hubby and Tater, our Maltese, stayed in the cool air-conditioned car while I popped inside. Not a huge selection for a "jewel box" but I opted to look around to see if anything suited my fancy. Things seemed normal for about five minutes until the lady "helping" me started going on about finger shape, and how my actual wedding set that I OWN is all Wrong for my shape fingers as it sits too high... like maybe I'm Shrek's wife. It didn't end there as I guess I didn't seem impressed enough with her knowledge/guidance/instruction. Luckily for her, she got me on a good day so rather than reciprocating in rudeness, I finally was able to interject that I needed to leave because my hubby and dog were in the car waiting on me, but that I would keep one of the rings in mind (albeit however illy suited for my stubby digits/fingers). As I stepped across the threshold of the exit door, she helpfully informed me that I shouldn't bring a carload of people if I was serious about jewelry shopping. Still, I remained unruffled at the velocity of her rapid fire insults. Looking at all the other reviews, it would seem this is her thing. I'm still amused....

Honestly I would give a 0/5 stars to this business. They were completely unprofessional and rude from the moment I entered the door. I requested to get my finger sized and it was like pulling teeth. My demeanor remained positive and courteous the entire time. My husband was going to buy me a ring and he was out of town and staff was completely rude and unreasonable. Jewelry here is completely overpriced for what you are receiving even when they claim all the pieces are custom made. I still gave them the benefit of the doubt and wanted to look at the pieces, but in all honesty I would say don't even waste your time in coming here. Also showroom and parking lot are a joke. The glass is all scratched and hard to see the pieces within, lighting is not adequate for viewing jewelry. Parking lot has no marked spaces. Definitely would drive further to get something that is of better quality. Ended up going somewhere else and ordering a custom ring with a near flawless colorless diamond of better quality than anything I saw in this shop. They definitely lost my business and I would hope this review is taken seriously because this shop shouldn't even be on anyone's radar, and I can't even fathom how they earned anything above a 1 star review. Bless...

Rudest experience and I didn’t even shop there. As someone who has lived in bluffton their entire life and has substantial family history here I never expected to be treated so rudely. My mother used to live in the original foundation of what is now known as the Bluffton Jewelry Box (which I’m glad I didn’t ask to come inside and have a look…) and we were contacted by a lovely bluffton citizen who found a military dog tag of my great grandfather in his back yard which backs straight up the jewelry box property. We parked in the jewelry stores DESERTED parking-lot to exchange information and retrieve this new found item. The car was parked for maybe 30 minutes. This woman comes out of the jewelry box stating it was private property and we need to leave or she will tow, would not listen to why we were there and had a really nasty attitude, raising her voice at us when we tried to explain why we were there. I would not give this establishment any of your hard earned money as the next time you are there you may get kicked off the property for parking in the...
