For most of us, a piece of jewelry is more than the metals and minerals that it's made of. It symbolizes our faith, our love, our commitments, and even the people and things in our lives that we hold dear.
Not all jewelry, but a lot of it can be very personal. Therefore, the buying experience can be a very personal and important experience, especially when we buy jewelry for someone we love. Today was the first time I bought jewelry for a particular person. This person is someone I respect and love, adore and admire. So it was and is important to me that my buying experience be as important to the person helping me, as it was to me.
I've been researching for months to find something that was within my budget but also expressed what I wanted to express with the gift. I'm a firm believer in that our gifts, no matter how big or small, should at the very least express what that person means to us.
The reason why I've gone to this store for my purchases, or even just advice, is because of my experience. I've been to Bidrussian Jewelry a few times now, and each just a great as the last. I'm never rushed, I'm never "sold" on something, I'm never mistreated. For me it's all about the experience of buying. Yes the price matters because obviously most of us have real budgets. As I said above, however, no matter how big or small, I want to feel, that the reason why I'm there is as important to the person helping me as it is for me. That's what I get from this store. Manail Bidrussian is a patient man, that treats his customers with respect and affords them every courtesy. He has a great selection for every occasion and age.
I told Manail basically what I was looking for. He then helped me narrow is down by sections in his store. Then backed off and just allowed me to take my time, and answered all my questions when I had them. When I narrowed it down to two pieces (a little over an hour), he helped me walk through why I, ME, believed either piece to be the right fit for the person I was buying it for. It wasn't about which he thought was "better" because he said, "after all I picked each piece here to be displayed in my store, so I like them all because there's a reason for each one."
His attention to detail and care, from the piece itself, to the chain, to the gift box, to the gift bag, to the tissue paper was all about how it was going to make the person I was giving the piece feel. That's why no matter what jewelry need I have, I know where I'm going.
Thank you Manail! I have no doubt she's going to love it.
(P.S. I know she might see my yelp post, so I'm just going to hold off on pictures until I give...
Read moreI had a lot of gold jewelry to sell but had been holding onto it for a while due to sentimental reasons. After having owned a re-sale clothing and jewelry store in Texas myself, I had my ideas of how much I wanted for the jewelry and how I expected the buyers to assess the pieces. I chose the top 3 gold exchange stores in the Glendale area based on their online reviews.
Bidrussian was the last of the 3 stores I went to. They had the best cleanliness and store presentation from the moment I entered. It even smelled nice like perfume. It was the largest of the stores I chose, with the best lighting and dust-free displays. The buyer was very straight forward about the pricing being based on market gold prices each day. I arranged to come back the next morning to have the buyer give me the quote because I brought so many pieces that he said it would take more than an hour.
I brought the same 2 small rings to each of the 3 stores where I was looking to sell. Bidrussian not only offered more than the other 2 pawn shops for the rings, but more than I expected. We separated the jewelry by their different carat grades. The buyer tested each item for authenticity, wrote down the values and gave me a clear total. This was the exact method I used when I was the buyer at my clothing store.
Little things ad up because in the end, he offered me $1,300 more than the last store. The best part was that I had 2 uniquely-shaped gold ring sets that I wanted to have appraised. The buyer assessed the carat value on the diamonds, which was exactly the clarity I thought they were.
It was a great experience because I wasn’t rushed through the process at all. The buyer was clear and still friendly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area....
